School of the Supernatural to Be Opened On Ambassador Campus



Herbert is rolling over in his grave right now.  Little would he have ever dreamed that a charismatic personality cult would have bought the Ambassador Auditorium where people would be barking like dogs, pogoing and rolling around on the floor in fits of ecstasy.  I remember the fits of rage HWA went into when he found a crucifix on stage for an opera production.  All hell broke loose.  Imagine what he would think to find out a School for the Supernatural will be opened in the Hall of Administration!  Oy!

Harvest Rock Church, who bought the Auditorium, has declared that they will be purchasing the Hall of Administration for their use.  The Hall of Ad had been bought by a senior retirement community developer several years ago.  Pre-sales of the million dollar retirement condos were swift.  Then the economy tanked.  The company backed out and Maranatha Schools leased the building out for film shoots and other rentals.


Harvest Rock posted this:
A kairos moment is again laid before us!
We have an opportunity to buy the administrative
building next to HRock in Pasadena
for only cents on the dollar.

For years, respected prophetic leaders have prophesied to us about an expansion of HRock Church and Harvest International Ministry on this campus, and the increased impact it would have for ministry here and abroad. 

This seemed beyond our reach until I received the recent news of an unprecedented price drop for this facility. 

As you may know, this site served as the former world headquarters for the Worldwide Church of God. They have been guarded in who is allowed to purchase property, and what was available for sale. God gave us favor when we miraculously obtained the remarkable auditorium where we meet for conferences and as a church.  

However, since we gained that facility in 2004, our tiny staff offices have remained on the other side of our city in an old building. We haven’t had the space for vital things we need, like a permanent 24/7 house of prayer, healing rooms, staff offices and of course, a home for HIM.

Our vision for the building is to establish a top-notch Christian preschool, elementary and junior high school, our international seminary, Wagner Leadership Institute, Arts and Entertainment Academy, and the new School of the Supernatural we are slated to begin in the Fall. The building is perfect for a food bank to feed the poor in our city. We also need Sunday school classrooms, ministry classrooms, meeting rooms, organizational facilities and offices for staff.

I believe this is the next step in your and my part to establish the Kingdom through the ministries of HRock and HIM. God reminded me of an unusual strategy to purchase this building: I am asking 9000 people to give $1,000 each so we can buy it outright. That would total $9 million dollars. 

These are the same folks that poured salt in the auditorium lake to expel the demons of Armstrongism.  These are the same people who walked around the Auditorium and the campus pouring holy oil on the sidewalks, benches, bridges, porches, etc. to drive away the satanic forces of the Worldwide Church of God. Plants, trees, flowers and grass were prayed over to get rid of any demons that might be living in them.

Walking around that property now is a really creepy experience.

Why Are Church of God Members Sooooooo Special?



Apparently the Yahooists are all a twitter about a story out of France that claims that Coke has alcohol in it.  What's a poor Jew to do or even a Muslim?  But never fear, if you are true called out Church of God member you have nothing to worry about.
Since COG  members are the 1% set-apart ones and so significantly special above all the rest of humanity that specialness means you cannot die from eating poison or by being bitten by a poisonous snake. Plus, if you happen to eat a pork product in your food, that you did not know about,  God is not going to zap you for it.

Yet, if you get a burger on Saturday after church you will burn in the lake of fire.

God is going to save you from a snake bite but will let you die a painful death from cancer. 

God will heal you when you ingest poison yet will let your child die from a disease. 

How does this magical god choose who gets his special touch?


...inasmuch as the amount of alcohol in sodas is not worth mentioning. Bringing it to anyone's attention is simply ill intent to play with their conscience much as if you are in the middle of eating a burrito and someone tells you it was cooked in lard. Naturally, you then become upset. Happily, we are informed by Paul that if we eat poison or are bitten by snakes.... we will remain unharmed, and we know God does not hold us responsible since we were innocent of wrongdoing. Not so for many other religious folks.

"Not so for many other religious folks."  Really?????

That translated into Church of God speak: 

Because we are Church of God members we are way more special and set apart than the rest of the fake Jews and Christians out there.  They are just deceived idiots that know nothing.  We know everything, especially how special we are in our god's sight.  God is on our side and not yours!  Ha Ha!
