Reading COG related blogs are always fun. Get a load of this back slapping for Apostle Malm:
To all who sneer and think that James Malm is a nut-case, I would like
you to consider that James has stated with specificity as to who will do
what and around when those things he believes scripture shows are going
to take place will do so.
Now go and look at the rest of the entire corporate COG phalanx of
prophecy teachings. ylou will find a big bunch of equivocating and
wishy-washy mental goo and slobber, filled with all kinds of caveats and
escape hatches enabling those who say them to say later either, “I
never exactly said that” or “only God knows for sure and all we can do
is wait till it happens in order to understand”.
By this time next year, James will either be proven correct or will be
noted as one more sincere and well-intentioned zealot who got it wrong.
If such an outcome takes place, I fully expect James (based on his
willingness to do so in the past) to admit when and where he got things
wrong and sincerely, appologize
to those he (unintentionally) misled and be the wiser for any mistake(s) he made.
Notice how they are already giving the Apostle a way out. "Oh, he was sincere, but wrong, don't fault him for that." ""His predictions were ahead of the times." "Don't judge him because he was really sincere."
It is idiotic comments like this that allow other false prophets to get a toehold in Armstrongism. That is what allowed McNair, Waterhouse, Blackwell, Pack, Flurry, Hulme, Meredith and others to get by when their predictions all failed. So far we have over 650 of them and still counting.
