Japanese Tsunami Trash Will Bring America To It's Knees

Why is  Armstrongism such an embarrassment? Why is logic never embraced? Why is reason missing?

It appears to me that God is going to bring America to its knees--Are we praying that God will grant us repentance?? This all could be turned aside if we prayed with alll our hearts--I mean the whole punishment. But also God could send this trash to that Pacific vortex of trash the same as he has turned hurricanes aside from feast sites.  

Let the trash go pollute some pagan gentile country, just as hurricanes can be diverted to kill others while COG members bask in bliss

The fact that Lew Rockwell is brought into the equation also speaks volumes on Armstrongism!

Another interesting observation is the tag line that the woman who posted the above uses:

Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.~~Albert Schweitzer

I think she needs to practice what she preaches!  Maybe the trash is headed towards America because we have the resources to clean it up, which some poorer country might not be able to do. When we take on the burdens of others, it lightens their load, just a thought...

The Narcissistic Leader: Not as Good as He (Or You) May Think

We have all seen first hand the narcissistic leadership that has dominated the COG's over the last 70 some years.  Today it is  blatantly brought to the forefront by COG leaders such as Dave Pack, Gerald Flurry, Rod Meredith, Ron Weinland and others.  These men run their respective cults like tyrants, spitting and shouting to get their points across all the while claiming to be the most sinless, humble,  loyal servants of god on earth.

Studies have shown that people look upon narcissistic leaders as "good leaders" in the leadership department while disagreeing with their methods.

Here is an interesting article discussing a test that was done and three individuals and their groups to see how people perceived them as leaders.  Narcissistic leaders who withheld information tended to be lifted higher as leaders while those leaders who shared information, had empathy, listened and valued the opinions of the lone wolf,  had more dramatic results but were considered poor leaders.

What is discussed below is a good indicator on how we looked at leadership in the COG.  Strong dynamic leaders always withheld information from the lower masses, they were forceful in their management skills, walked all over people and tended to treat most people like pond scum, yet were looked upon as  effective leaders.

We tended to look down upon those men who were empathetic, had deep concern for others, allowed questions, and who tended to get down and get their hands dirty right along side the rest of the membership.  While we might have liked those qualities, we actually looked upon these men as ineffective as strong leaders.  Rod Meredith certainly would not have liked them!

  The Narcissistic Leader: Not as Good as He (Or You) May Think

  
  

  Maria Konnikova in Artful Choice

  In most circumstances, narcissism doesn’t go over well. We tend not to like individuals who exhibit arrogance or too much dominance or hostility—all traits associated with the narcissist. But there’s one big exception to the rule: leadership. For some reason, when we rate narcissists on leadership ... Read More
  
  
  
  
  

  

   

Becoming god's? Living in a Post Human World

Yesterday I had a post about the myth of COG members become god's and ruling over worlds and galaxies.  Today Prophet Thiel is attempting to justify that belief using COG proof-texting.

So here is an interesting different take on the matter from Big Think, Living in a Post Human World
