E. W King All Excited About Monica Lewinsky's "Frontal" Attack




King is all a twitter right now about the "HOT" new story about  Monica Lewinsky's "frontal" attack on Bill Clinton.  Is he talking about her original escapade or is he assuming she is out now to help derail Hilary's potential bid to the Presidency?

Perhaps Mr. King needs to reread the Missing Dimension in Sex.  Oral sex is not looked upon favorably by Herbert.

If A Women Does Not Wear Her Veil In Church Then Cut Her Hair Off!



James Malm is back with his veils for women in his cult as they pray or study the Bible.  Because he is a literalist it is necessary that women have their hair cut off if they do not wear a veil when they pray.

Paul taught that:
1 Cor 11:5   But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: 6 For if the woman be not covered [will not cover her hair], let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered [cover her glorious hair in humility].
Women ought to cover their glory [hair] with a veil, modest hat  or cloth when they pray or prophesy, as a sign of humility that they are subject to their fathers or husbands as an example for the angels; that as the angels are subject to authority ,so are they, as Paul instructs.  And if they refuse to do so, they are to have their heads of glorious hair shaved off, as Paul also instructs.

Lest you think he is joking he adds:

I know that there are some who would wish covering women’s hair away, by saying it was a particular custom of that day.  To do that is no different from wishing the teachings of Nehemiah away concerning the Sabbath with the same reasoning.  If this were merely a local custom for that time; it would not be recorded as instructions for God’s people.
 
This is what he expects his women to wear when praying or reading the Bible at church and at home:


Why does Malm expect this of his women?  Because they set an example for the angels.  Angles will be impressed by their humility and it demonstrates that the women are submissive.

The second question is that:  If women are not praying or speaking in the meeting why do they need to cover their hair?  Paul says it is to set an example for the angels, of willing submission to their husbands, as an allegory of willing submission to Christ.

Katakalupto, the word that refers to the covering a woman places on her head, is composed of the prefix kata-(‘down”) and kalupto (“cover”). This is exactly what a scarf or shawl does — it hangs down from the top of the head and covers the woman’s hair.

...God uses the woman’s naturally long hair to show that He expects the woman to cover her head with a scarf or shawl, and He uses the man’s absence of long hair to show that the man should not be covered with a scarf or shawl hanging down over his head like a woman. 5 This is why Paul appeals to nature in the preceding verse (“Does not even nature itself teach you?”). 6 The man’s short hair need not be covered but the woman’s glorious hair should be covered as a sign of humility when appearing before God.


...if the woman refuses to wear a scarf or shawl, she should also remove her natural covering, her hair. In other words, she should wear both coverings while engaged in religious activities or none at all.

Malm also makes the claim that COG women in India all covered their hair until 1988


In India in 1988, all the isolated COG women wore headcoverings.

“When the Apostle Thomas brought the gospel to India in the First Century, he taught that the woman’s head should be covered,” they explain, “and they have been doing it ever since. Pastors in India never need to tell the women to cover their heads. The women know the Bible tells them to do it, so they do it.”

Malm ends with this:

Those women who do not wear a headcovering only because “nobody else does it” may think they are being humble and spiritual by refusing to draw attention to themselves. The sad truth is that preserving their reputation among their peers is more important to them than obeying the will of GodThe Role of Women In Church

Its easy to see why he is a divorced man now.  With this legalistic nonsense forced on his wife and his obscene preoccupation with writing two blogs he has no time for women. Legalsim has totally warped the mind of so many men in Armstrongsm.  If they are these kinds of tyrants in this world who would want to live under their rule on some planet in the kingdom?

PCG Cal Culpepper Continues His Scorched Earth Policy and Helps Decimate the Elizabethtown PCG




Cal Culpepper is one of Gerald Flurry's storm troopers that has wrecked havoc every where they have assigned him. His previous assignment in Buffalo, NY wrecked havoc on that congregation.He and his wife are intensely disliked by many in PCG who are afraid of them and afraid to speak out against them.

Culpepper had his issues when he was in Pasadena as a student.  He thought he was God's gift to the church and the women on campus.  He worked in the Auditorium for several years and was found to be condescending and elitist to many who worked with him.


Exit and Support has this letter about him:
May 5, 2014
The Elizabethtown PCG has been eliminated due to declining membership and Culpepper casting out members and their families. The congregation did not have enough tithe paying members attending to "justify the expense" of a church area. What is left of the members in Kentucky have to now drive to various PCG congregations including the Indiana one (4-5 hours one way) and the Ohio one (3-4 hours one way). [See Feb. 17 letter above: "More Control and Hypocrisy in PCG." --Anonymous 

Previous PCG run ins with Culpepper are documented here: Control and Abuse By Cal Culpepper

I knew most of the members from the Buffalo, NY congregation. There is a dear elderly widow, formerly of that congregation who was treated horribly by the so called ministry, under the direction of Cal (Diotrophes) Culpepper, then kicked to the curb and cut off from all of the members there, except for me and my husband. I was not about to abandon her, and shame on those who did! How dare Calvin Culpepper and Aaron Eagle1 treat her the way they did! She is so thankful that we didn't cut her off while we were still in the Philadelphia Church of God. She was so depressed and distraught over all that happened to her. It just sickens me!
 -----
That is just one small example of the control and abuse in PCG, especially by Cal Culpepper (Regional Director of Northeast U.S). He has a very long list of victims, from the Southeastern U.S, to the Northeast and the Midwest. I was very fooled by him when he first came to the Northeast. He appeared so righteous, at first. But as time went on, God revealed to us many things about him that most members are blind to. The self-righteousness, pride, vanity, lack of agape love, mercy and compassion of this man became very apparent. The way he mocked and smirked when I answered him with things straight for the Word of God helped us to see that he didn't know the Scriptures very well because he didn't recognize these things. He would assume, jump to conclusions and falsely accuse, and when you answered him with the truth, he still insisted that what he thought was true! It was mind-blowing to us! Why we didn't stand up to him more strongly and allowed him to persecute and abuse us for 3 1/2 years is now beyond me.2
----
Did you know that every word that proceeds from Culpeppers mouth comes directly from Jesus Christ?
 We had swallowed the whole "this is church government" garbage. Gerald Flurry and Cal Culpepper both claim that every word out of their mouth comes directly from Jesus Christ.3 That is not true of any man! Jesus Christ does not lie or falsely accuse, so there is no way that is true! These men have deceived the members into believing that they have to obey their every word. They are looking to men rather than God! These men are not the Master Potter. We belong to God, He knows those who are His and no one can snatch them out of His hand. [John 10:28]  Control and Abuse by Cal Culpepper

There was a woman in the DC congregation that had cancer. She wasn't well at all and had missed about 3 or 4 Sabbath services. The minister called her(he knew already that she was sick with cancer; in fact he had anointed her) to talk about her missing services. She told him she was feeling a little better and would come the following Sabbath. He told her the only way she could return was if he and Cal Culpepper came and counseled with her because she had missed so many services. Well they arrived about two months later. She died within the same week they visited.  PCG Is A Sick System! 

Three PCG families forced to get rid of their teenage children because of Culpepper's edicts.

Three PCG families were forced to give up their minor aged, unbaptized children under the direct orders of Cal Culpepper. The information on his forcing members to give up their 15 and 16 year old teens is accurate because I spoke to these people first hand. Abuses I Was Aware of in Philadelphia Church of God

God's most perfect minister and his wife cut off contact with her family because they are members of UCG.

Tammy Culpepper cut off her elderly parents (whom I think were in United Church of God) per Flurry's orders. Then when her father died, their family flew to Oklahoma to show everyone how righteous and wonderful they were. Culpepper had the nerve to stand there at Sabbath services and tell us how one man told him what a beautiful family he has, with so much pride it wasn't funny! Did he really think people thought he and Tammy were righteous for not honoring her parents, not having love and just showing up after her father's death?? That is how the PCG is. Cut off your family and show up looking so righteous and see what inheritance belongs to you when they die. This way Flurry gets more money.

While the deluded citizens of Edmond heap praises on Flurry and his mini-me auditorium his ministers are making life a living hell for PCG's members.
