Poor Apostle James Malm. The world is just one big evil meanie! Satan runs and rules everything resulting in him and the few remaining authentic Armstrongites of being persecuted all the time. Whoa is me! Evil, evil evil!
How sad it must still be to the COGgers who live such depressing lives. No joy, no beauty around them, no fun, no delight, just pure unadulterated evil at every turn. Of course, they see them selves as the logical recipients.
This is Satan’s world; everywhere you go you are smothered with temptations and buffeted by opposition. Often the converted are denied the best jobs, often being denied most of the available jobs; virtually everything is polluted and unclean, the beef you buy in restaurants and stores has been cut in the same facilities as the pork and is NOT biblically clean. In this world we sometimes have to endure opposition from spouses and neighbours, friends get suddenly hostile an families are divided by the faith. I needn’t continue further; we have all experienced our trials.
He then goes on to spread another of his lies:
God’s law and way engenders love, harmony and peace; it brings happiness, contentment and fulfillment. Very few converted people enjoy the fruits of God’s way’s in this world. We are not of the world, yet IN the world; this world is simply not a godly environment.
Actually the grace filled Christians I know are delightful people, happy as clams, take care of the downtrodden and disenfranchised and go out of their way to make all that come into their presence welcome whether you are a believer or not. Since they are not burdened down by the heavy yoke of Malm's laws they live lives fully. So once again, Apostle Malm is proven to be a liar.
Why do Armstrongites lives their lives filled with the desire to find everything in life as wrong and evil or satanic? Because of that it is no wonder they lead such miserable, grumpy lives. Who would want to join any of their irrelevant splinter cults now? There is no hope, no joy, no fund. Nothing but evil and disgust at everything around them.
