You Already Own One of These....Use It!
As a student, member and then minister in WCG I always took my
Bible, a fine margin writing pen and a highlighter to services. These were
absolutely vital to one getting the very most out of the sermon. I think
I had one of these as well but used it very few times as I was too young and
naive to know just how to turn it on and read the results. Whenever it
did go off, I was told it was a false signal and my detector must be
defective.
My BS detector went off a few times when I was younger but I felt guilty
that it did. Once HWA said that Dinosaurs didn't reproduce because Satan
couldn't and so neither could his creation. BEEEEEEEP! I had
just read National Geographic in HWA office about the first discovered Dino
eggs! My friend asked if he just heard my BS detector go off.
"Ghastly days! Ah..no...well yes, but I don't know where that came from.
It won't happen again..." I thought even having one could get you in
big trouble so I begged him not to tell anyone that it went off.
As years went on, my personal BS detector went off every darn time Gerald
Waterhouse stopped to pump up the troops. Once it went off while at
dinner with GW and I got a swift kick under the table to turn it
off!!! A typical evening for me listening to GW tell us all about
how it all was, is and will be with HWA and the Wonderful World Tomorrow...I
could hardly hear what he said for all the beeping in my head! I
kept the volume setting on off, but I could feel the vibration when it went
off! Some of my friends in the audience looked at me sometimes when they
wanted to see if it was vibrating in my head after something was said. I
evidently was not good at hiding the beep in my head to some who knew me better
than perhaps I would have preferred at the time.
That BS meter went off many many more times as time went on and the winds
of change swept across the plain truth. It eventually got so bad I could not
even think without the constant beep of BS detection.
But now I am older and wiser and while annoying to hear the constant
"beep" of this vital tool to proper and responsible living, I grew to
appreciate all the future drama and trouble it eventually came to save me.
The beauty of it all is that you don't have to purchase one of these. You
don't have to put it on your credit card or wait a couple weeks to get one in
the mail. You already have one. You have always had one.
Just turn it on....and trust it enough to save yourself and your family
further Pastor, Prophet and Apostle abuse.
They come in various models but all detect the truth of the many grand
pronouncements one has grown all to used to hearing from the grand and the
glorious "God speaks to me not you," goofballs who see themselves
spoken of in the scriptures.
Here they are in action....
"A final thought: Circumstances forced me
to research and come to much more fully understand the office of prophet than
anyone else today. This extensive process has allowed me to teach you
the truth of that office—from the Bible.."
David C Pack
"All of this has helped prepare—train—me to
understand how my office will someday interact with the two final prophets
Christ will select and train within this Church!"
David C Pack
"Let me repeat: I state without apology and
with God’s authority that both of the Two Witnesses will be members of
The Restored Church of God! There is no doubt! "
David C Pack
"The day of Pentecost, 2012, will prove to
be most important to the return of Jesus Christ. As a prophet, God gives to me
prophetic interpretation and additional prophecy not previously given in
scripture. He does not do it all at one time, but in a “progressive”
manner,"
Ronald Weinland
"So in many respects, my job as a prophet
is simple, since I speak and write what God gives to me."
Ronald Weinland
"There are many people who simply “hate”
such prophetic declarations because they hate God’s ways. The things written in
2008 – God’s Final Witness are not a matter of my own ideas or my ways,
but they are from God to one of His prophets. Those who hate God also hate His
prophets and perceive them, their actions, and their words as arrogance and
pride."
Ron Weinland
Once you get the hang of
it, show your friends where they can find their very own and how
they work. Start a "Beep of the Week" club and share your
findings with friends. No Church of God devotee should be without one if
your belong to a Church where there is just one grand Apostle, Prophet or
Watcher telling you how it all is and what you are expected to believe...
"Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep," Uh oh....there's another
one!
