After a long dry spell the apostle Dave is back gloating about what a magnificent Church he leads. It has been a great year for the TRUE Christians in the RCG who God favors highly while punishing the pagan filth around the rest of the world. RCG members are set apart from the evil hitting the world right now because they are soooooooooooooooo special. The called out ones, the chosen few, the elite, the future rulers of space worlds and gods to be.
The year 2012 is now behind us. What a wonderful year it was for God’s Church. Sadly, it was the worst
year on record for all nations of Earth. The masses are frightened as
never before about what lies in store for the world—and themselves.
Sadly, few understand and almost no one is preparing for the “snare”
that Jesus Christ warned of in Luke 21:35 that will “come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.” The result will be that few will “escape all these things” (vs. 36)
that Jesus described. Millions in the world, but also many of God’s
people, think they are “spiritually prepared,” yet will soon wish they
had been more careful—more thoughtful—about their spiritual condition.
All of those foolish COG groups that split off and formed irrelevant groups like United Church of God, Living Church of God and Philadelphia Church of God have absolutely NO fruit to show for their apostasy. Only Dave has had mind numbing growth unparalleled in the COG universe!
The organizations (small, medium and large) that formed from the Worldwide Church of God in the wake of the apostasy grew very little or in most cases not at all in 2012! In fact many, or even most, declined in size, and in virtually all well-established categories of measuring fruit. Ironically, these organizations each month post their Member Letters before the whole world
on their websites in hopes that such “trolling” for members will yield
growth. (Why else would one address a letter to one set of people and
then send it to everyone else?) But, with God having supplied no fruit
to back up their organizations—since He is not leading them—the growth
never comes. How is it that they are not embarrassed—ashamed—to post
such hollow letters?
I am, sure Dave is cowering in his shoes right now with the prospect of prophet Thiel's new group. Whats with the "trolling" accusation? That is certainly rich coming from a church that has bragged about the ministers and members they have stolen from UCG and others recently.
But we DO have the fruit—TREMENDOUS fruit!—that the
other organizations lack. This is because we also DO have God’s
leadership, having Christ as the Head of the Church. Hence the reason
for only ONE letter annually like this one written to the splinters—not
also written to members and co-workers! Our single goal is to show the
fruit of God’s Spirit and leadership at work here to those who care—for
those who want to know what they are missing.
Dave stupidly feels that there are thousands and thousands of confused COG members out there looking for a new group to go to. Never fear, Dave is here! Dave is ready to welcome all of the disillusioned into his group with open offering envelopes waiting.
Today, literally thousands of former WCG members are wondering where to attend—what to do. While some no longer care about the doctrines, traditions, standards—and fruit—of an organization, many still do. These brethren would be carefully examining available options,
looking for what they were taught and once enjoyed under Mr.
Armstrong’s leadership of the Church. They know these things are visible
only to those looking for them! Understanding Christ is not
divided, and that all who are led by God’s Spirit will ultimately walk
in truth, and “speak the same thing” (I Cor. 1:10, 13), they become candidates to find the one place where Jesus Christ is truly the Head of His unified Church and Body.
The delusional idiot then goes on to quote all kinds of statistics on his amazing cult. Then he gets into the new cable stations he will soon be broadcasting on. He naively assumes that his viewing audience is going to increase by the millions because of the number of subscribers. The multiple missions of viewers he is claiming as his own will NEVER watch his idiotic program!
Looking ahead in 2013, an immensely powerful worldwide expansion of The World to Come approaches! In fact, here comes TREMENDOUS NEWS! We are finalizing plans to be on two—TWO!—more television networks: (1) The Word Network—and
on January 24!!!—with satellite broadcasting coverage in well over 200
countries and territories, including all of North and Central America,
the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, Australia, the Middle East and all of
Asia. (2) Grace TV—set to begin February 17—which reaches over
70% of all Canadian households! This network is Canada’s largest
provider of primetime Christian programming, and it will be our first
Sunday morning primetime slot for The World to Come.
According to a 2010 report by IDATE Consulting & Research, there will be an estimated 1.2 billion households with at least one television around the globe in 2013. In the U.S. alone, The Word Network
will reach 86 million of 114 million TV homes via cable and DIRECTV
(this is in addition to our current ION coverage). Latin America has a
potential 132.8 million TV households. Europe has 260.9 million. There
are another 10.7 million in South Africa. Australia has 120 million,
with the rest of Asia having another 565.7 million TV households.
Although everyone with a television does not have satellite reception,
these figures speak volumes as to the potential magnitude of this new
worldwide network. To maximize impact, we chose an overnight time slot
in the U.S., which airs during the morning hours in Europe and South
Africa, and through the prime evening hours across Australia and the Far
East.
Dave then moves on to talk about dramatic "healings" happening in his group. It is quit obvious reading these that there are no healings going on in any of the splinter groups. That is the impression Dave is trying to get across.
He has had blind people given sight, wheelchair bound people walking again. These pale in comparison to a church member who was in a head on collision that did not injure them because the van "passed through" their vehicle.
While carpooling home from services two members were
miraculously protected. A van suddenly appeared directly behind them,
traveling at such a high rate of speed that a collision was unavoidable.
As the van made contact with their rear bumper, instead of hearing a
loud crash, they heard what they described as a “swoosh.” The van had
passed through their car, appearing immediately in front of
them! The van continued speeding down the road and then exited the
highway, leaving the two ladies unharmed and the vehicle completely
unscratched. On a personal note, this event mirrors exactly miracles
both Mr. Dale Schurter and I have experienced and reported to the
Church.
Then to top it off Dave brags that he was able to turn a tornado away from the entire city of Wadsworth so that it went on to kill and damage others. He also claims to have the power to have turned Hurricane Sandy by 90 degrees so that it would not make its way into Wadsworth! When pigs fly!
Finally, at Headquarters we often read of God
protecting His people around the world from storms, wildfires, flooding,
hurricanes and other weather disasters, but in the relatively peaceful
area of northeast Ohio, there seemed not to be the same need for
intervention. Tuesday, July 3, was an exception. Just after 11:00 a.m.
the National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for
Wadsworth and surrounding areas. Doppler radar showed a giant storm cell
capable of producing a tornado heading directly toward the city from
the northwest. Minutes later it became more serious when an official tornado warning was given, meaning a tornado in the area was visible on radar—and only 10 miles from Headquarters and the building project, moving straight toward us.
All HQ employees moved to the basement as the storm continued on its
projected path. There, I asked for God’s protection over His people
through the dangerous storm, and that He would protect the present
Headquarters building and the site of the future campus, acknowledging
that it is God whom we ultimately rely on for protection. It soon became evident that God had at that moment intervened. Right after the prayer, the HQ staff saw that the storm (via radar online) had dramatically changed direction—during the prayer!—from
its southeasterly course to nearly due south, and then later turned
again to continue moving easterly to the south of Wadsworth. The city
was entirely untouched by the tornado! We received only a little rain.
Two staff members (who were off-site meeting with people involved in the
construction project) actually witnessed the tornado from the west side
of town as it turned south to go under the city. Of course, everyone
was tremendously inspired to see God’s clear hand of
intervention for His people and Work. It was truly faith-building. So
was watching Hurricane Sandy suddenly turn 90 degrees north while still
in Pennsylvania without which turn there would have been enormous damage
to our new building. This is because the storm was coming from the east
where the installed glass was not ready for it on the building’s west
side.
Yes sir! God is Only on Dave's side. Those pussy evangelists in Edmond and Charlotte cannot produce such miracles as Big Dave can! Big Dave can also wrestle with demons and cast them out too!
None of this speaks to regular dramatic healings, demons cast out, many miracles, open doors, blessings and incredible GROWTH in all categories.
Dave then goes on to claim his church within the next 1-2 years will be the largest and most effective church of God ever. Thousands upon thousands of former member will be returning to it. Eventually every single COG member who still has God's spirit in them will be leaving their group and coming to Dave's.
An unbelievably powerful Work is underway in The Restored Church of God. This is because we did not break the grand pattern set by Mr. Armstrong—any of it! It is because Jesus Christ actually does HEAD this Church. In one to two years maximum, the profile of God’s Church and true Work on Earth will be beyond imagination. It will take your breath and leave your ears ringing. The good news is that more ministers and members are leaving ALL of the splinters to return to God’s one Church.
Eventually ALL with God’s Spirit—every single person—will return to His
Church. To see more and more people waking up to the false doctrine,
wrong standards, poor fruits and continually worsening condition of
their organizations has been most encouraging. Many thousands will join
us! (In fact, prophecy reveals this.) This means our power, impact and
growth will be further affected upward. We expect to be the largest
presence—the loudest voice!—in religious television in the world some
time in 2014. And this will be backed up by the largest amount of
literature ever compiled by any single organization on the face of the earth.
