"There is Nothing Worthwhile Out There In Space Worth Exploring"

An Armstrongite on Yahoo is not happy with the U.S. spending money on exploring space.  "There is nothing out there worthwhile"  Besides, "once we are spirit beings we will have plenty of time to explore space."  More magical thinking!  Once they become 'god' imagine what a hellish world these people would be in charge of! 

 I am sorry to say that I am in complete disagreement with you on this!! This business in space is the most expensive bunch of toys that this country could have ever come up with!! Billions of dollars in total waste. There is absolutely nothing of any value in being out there at this time in our human state! It all started with our trying to prove to Russia that we were better than them. All of those billions could have been used for good use instead of being a total waste,---and instrumental in  helping to destroy our economy!! We will have plenty of time to explore space when we become spirit beings!

Ambassador Reports In New Format

You can now read the Ambassador Reports in an easy reading format through FlippingBooks.  It also works great on your cell phone.  Ambassador Reports was the original source for exposing the underbelly of Armstrongism.  That tradition carries on today with countless blogs, web sites, and books.  The Internet has effectively opened Armstrongism wide open for all the world to see. The world is getting to witness the disintegration of the Churches of God.

More to Philadelphia Church of God Family Horror Story

On November 18th, 2010 The Painful Truth web site posted a letter from a man who's niece had been thrown out on the street by her parents, members of Gerald Flurry's cult, The Philadelphia Church of God.

Philadelphia Church of God Parents Abandon Minor-Aged Daughter

When my 17 year-old niece told her parents she no longer wanted to participate in the Philadelphia Church of God, her cult-member parents abandoned her to the streets. “God’s Will,” her mother said.

For some time, my niece has been disillusioned by the Philadelphia Church of God. Her first awakening occurred when she asked her parents if she could stay with a non-cult member relative who lives on the East Coast, (that would be my wife and me), for two weeks, as part of her summer vacation. A boy her age, (a non cult member), who was enrolled in an accelerated program at school studying to become a doctor, was staying with us. My niece particularly wanted to meet this boy because she is also interested in studying medicine. The relative, that would be me and my wife, planned on taking the boy and my niece to see NYC and the NJ shore. My niece’s parents adamantly refused to let her visit the us. My niece’s “God ordained head of the household father,” who had been barred from practicing nursing in several States for violations, (I believe he showed up at the care facility in which he was employed, intoxicated. First, he was suspended for 2 years, then he had his license revoked permanently), especially wouldn’t even hear of the idea. My niece became distraught. Instead of letting their daughter enjoy her summer vacation with a like-minded teenager pursuing a career in medicine, her parents forced her to stay at home in the company of another girl from the Philadelphia Church of God. My niece says this cult member spent most of the time on her cell phone, bragging about having a three-way with two Mexican boys.

Another important event influencing my niece to leave the Philadelphia Church of God occurred while she was attending the Philadelphia Church of God youth camp in Edmonton, OK. Camp organizers forced my niece to play soccer in the heat, even though she had high fever. When she returned home, she had puss running out of her ears, and was deathly sick for two weeks afterwards. PCOG believes in relying on God’s faith to heal. Philadelphia Church of God “ministers,” camp organizers, and her parents refused to treat her medically.  The rest of the story is here: Horror Stories, How Bad Was It?

The follow up to this story is here: Wrecked Family: Part 1

After spending $2,000 on rescuing my niece from the streets after her PCOG parents abandoned her, she no longer talks to us, unless the topic of conversation is about money. I believe PCOG intimated her parents, threatening them with “disfellowship,” unless they stopped their daughter from telling us about PCOG. Perhaps PCOG read her story posted on this website.

As far as I know, my niece is back “dating” the younger, classmate boy referenced in my first story. Side note: According to my niece, her PCOG mother accused this non-cult member boy of statutory rape, confronting him in the hallway of her daughter’s public high school. My niece is actually almost a year older than him.
