Apostle Malm: Polygamy Will Be Allowed In The Millennium



Woo Hoo!  Those of you that have always waned more than one wife you are in luck!  Apostle Malm has decreed that at the end of the tribulation and into the early years of the millennium you will be able to have more than one partner.  I guess the Fundie Mormons had it right after all! Who knew!

Isaiah 4
The tribulation will be especially hard on the men and very many will die, leaving only one man for every seven women.  At the end of the tribulation perhaps God will relax the marriage of monogamy for a short time out of mercy or the people.
4:1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

When one of his readers called him to task for his comment he had this to say:

James, I do not think such speculation is helpful. This verse is only saying a population imbalance will occur in the last days, and that women will be clamoring for a husband. It does NOT imply God will throw out the 7th commandment. If He were to relax on that, then why not relax on idolatry too? The whole system falls apart if you go by this speculation. Why would God come to the earth to punish man for sin, only to relax on the law which condemns sin? I suggest you remove this statement.

The statement is no new thing as God permitted such practice in ancient times and

. The only issue is the mercy and compassion of God; would he leave 6 of every 7 women marriageless and childless? That is HIS decision to make!
Do you not perform acts of mercy on the Sabbath, breaking the Sabbath because the law of mercy over rides other laws? Did not David eat the Bread of Presence when he needed mercy? I am simply saying; if that is God’s will: Who are we to object.

Christ is boss and he will do his will, he is not concerned with our hang ups and our ideas. Personally I hope to be among the chosen and would probably be dead anyway, so this is not an issue for me.
Apostle Malm then ads this. I would never have thought I would agree with him on something but he is right!
It is because of such issues [there are many in the COG who still have HWA's Quaker hang ups regarding matters of sex and marriage, even though HWA himself totally reversed his attitude after Loma died. HWA's early positions dictated to him by Loma, has caused immeasurable unhappiness and suffering in very many marriages in the WCG and LCG] that I posted the comment and it will stay.

Ron Weinland's Preachers And Men Not Happy With Laura And Other Women Being Over Them



It looks like Weinerdude is in a pickle right now.  Since he is a felon and in prison for the next three years, he has placed Laura and a few other women in high positions of leadership.  Laura is even one of the two witnesses witlesses. Some of the ministry and regular members who are men are chaffing under this power structure and Ron needs to set them straight:

This example can be likened today to what God has revealed to His Church about true freedom that is being restored to women by removing them from the kind of bondage they have been experiencing in the world for the past 6,000 years. In the Church now and in the Millennium that is coming, women are not second-class citizens who can be treated as inferior by men or looked upon by men as being in subjection to them. Such subjection would only be the case if it were on a spiritual plane when the need to administer God’s government might arise. In like fashion, there will be women who may also need to administer God’s government toward a man who in turn should be in subjection to God in such a case. In the Church now and into the future, God is removing the “curse” that started in the beginning due to the sins of Adam and Eve.

Some in the Church are still battling this and being tried by it, although this truth began to be delivered to the Church more than two years ago. This affects how husbands sometimes “think” it is permissible to treat a woman in a controlling manner as though they are in subjection to such demands or in how they might speak in a commanding manner when they have no right to do so. Not only is there no right to do so, but it is also sin. Even a few (a very few) men in God’s ministry are dealing with this new and “present truth” in how they are responding to a woman who is over them in the administration of the government of God in the Church. In some cases, there is more than one woman over them as a matter of God’s spiritual government. The one whom a few are having a difficulty with is ordained a prophet, as Deborah was a prophet. These few must fight this battle (if it is one for them), just as some in the early Church had to fight their wrong thinking concerning the gentiles. A person must change in their thinking as God reveals more truth to them in order for them to come into greater unity and oneness with Him. Such changes of new revelation of truth often test and try people as to their faithfulness to God and their willingness to follow when, where, and how He leads.

Bob Thiel: U.S. Is Doomed But Don't Worry, Jesus Will Return In a Few Years



The non-ordained self-appointed false prophet Thiel has the catch-all answer to the financial problems in the United States and elsewhere in the world.  Of course it is the standard Armstrongite viewpoint that God hates everyone in the world except for the 1,700 people in RCG and the 15 members in Arroyo Grande.  Then he tries to end with a word of encouragement.  Doesn't it make you want to know his jesus?

This means than a lot even what wealth is left, has actually been debased.  Ultimately the US dollar will truly crash.

Until then, it means that economic recoveries will be shaky and that many people will likely not handle the next downturn as well.  Furthermore, various tax and other policies from Washington, D.C. are further discouraging the accumulation and preservation of wealth.  That too, does not bode well for the economy of the USA.

Unless the USA changes, it will be doomed. However, Jesus will return a few years after that and establish the Kingdom of God. Until then, work, pray, and try to best manage whatever household wealth you may have.  Whether you are in the USA or not.
