Bitter Overseer Bob: I Will Soon Be Reaching BILLIONS With My Message, Yet None of Them Send Me Money! Stop Ignoring Me!!!!!

Bitter Bob has a new letter out to his tiny little flock.  Apparently some of his members have been questioning his constant reminders of topics that COG members are supposed to know.  Bitter Bob also admits he is suffering financially from lack of contributions.

Bitter Bob is being deceptive to his members with the following comments.  He wants them to think he has hundreds of thousands of interested non-COG people clamoring all over his words.  Many of Bitter Bob's visitors are one shot wonders.  They come to him from various "Examiner" articles, his writings on Fatima and other Catholic topics, and prophecy.  He draws Catholics for the first few paragraphs and then loses them when they see how anti-Catholic he is.  His "Examiner" articles take various news items and then twists into perverted prophecy comparisons or Mayan drivel.  Again, these are all one hit wonders.  He is right about one thing though.  Many of his visitors are not COG members.  They are ex members that visit from links on this site.  Bitter Bob needs to thanks us for his increases in hits periodically!

But, I would like to comment that, as you all have probably noticed, in the sermons I make statements which suggest that I am often speaking to an audience that is NOT part of the Continuing Church of God.  A main reason why I do so is that the majority of those who watch our sermons are not part of CCOG.

Bitter Bob next admits his listeners are NOT sending in money to him.  A "great majority" of his listeners do not send him money.  His African contacts he has been all a twitter over and not money producing either. They know a cash cow when they see one.  Most of the people in Thiel's group in Africa have jumped from one COG to the next.  Who ever has the fullest purse gains their loyalty.

And this is true even of our offertory messages.  The great majority of those who watch the Holy Day offering videos do not provide any offering.  So, when I make statements in sermons that you figure that everyone in CCOG should know, please understand that most who will watch the sermons are not part of CCOG and many have never been part of any Church of God group.

A few paragraphs later he writes this absurd statement:

Finally received a report from Google related to April 2014 results.  Between our small Google ad program as well as our multiple websites, we reached over 2,000,000 computers in April 2014.  While we always wish to reach more, we are reaching millions.  The time will come when the number will reach closer to one or more billions as we get closer to the end time.

If little tiny Bitter Bob can garner 2,000,000 hits a month, then what does that say about Meredith and Pack?  They have far more money and reach far more people.   If they cannot reach BILLIONS already why does Bitter Bob feel HE and HE ALONE will be doing a far greater outreach?  Talk about delusional!

Then Bitter Bob lets slip a few more lines of information that lets the world know he is hurting financially.

Due to his COG personality cult start-up he has had to stop taking in "patients" for his homeopathic snake oil sales.  That has cut his income also.  Add to that they humongous lack of tithes and offerings coming in, things are getting rough in Arroyo Grande.

You would think that with such an earth girdling ministry that his reaching millions and millions of people each month that he could at least afford high speed Internet at his Church HQ home. He admits he even has trouble streaming his own videos because he has no high speed Internet.

Things are so bad with the Bitter Overseer that he may not be able to print his his next letter and mail it.

Paper, Envelopes and stamps cost money brethren!  Send it in or I will NOT mail you my earth shattering letters!

If your internet connection is still too slow (as my home one is) and/or you prefer audio messages to audio-visuals ones, go to the YouTube link for the message, click on SHOW MORE related to the description.

Like the Apostle Paul, we are not particularly entertaining speakers, but do try to declare the testimony of God to our people and those in the world.

Note:  There is a small chance that next week,  this letter will not be emailed to those who have requested it.  If you do not receive it by Friday, May 30, 2014, there should be a version available at the Letters to the Brethren link at the CCOG.org website.

Rod Meredith must be having a field day!

David C Pack: What Is He Scared Of? Cameras Now Watch Every Move of Visitors and Church Members

For the last several months David C Pack has been holed up in his fourth floor office bandaging the humiliating wounds after his epic prophetic failure in the Fall of 2013.  Tens of thousands of Church of God members did not flock to his personality cult, the Restored Church of God.  Three COG leaders did NOT die, and millions and millions of dollars did not flow into RCG's coffers.

Dave must fear that this epic failure will bring the crazies out of the woodwork to persecute him.  All of his buildings now have cameras on the outside in order that his security team can monitor all visitors and unworthy church members on the property.

Bitter Bob Weighs In On What Causes Atheists

According to Bitter Bob Thiel of the improperly named Continuing Church of God, here are some of the reasons atheists exist. According to Bitter Bob the mere fact that they exist proves they are fools.

I just love it when self-righteous smug Armstrongites claim to know what goes on in the hearts and minds of people around them while they themselves are most corrupt and abusive.

Did you know the main reason evolution came about in the late 19th century was because people wanted to breed like rabbits?

Now, actually one of the reasons that there are evolutionary atheists is, believe it or not, in the 19th century various male “intellectual” were looking for excuses to not have to abide by biblical standards of sexual morality. And back then, some of them even admitted that is why they embraced the concept that life randomly evolved without a creator God.

Then Bitter Bob has to take a swipe at evangelicals.  It seems, according to him, they are a bunch of oversexed bed hopping swingers that cant stop having sex.  What he describes is a LOT of Armstrongites that I have seen over  the years!  Bitter Bob has no room to cast that allegation considering many in the COG are sexually active before they got/get married. Hypocrisy over sex in Armstrongism is rampant!

I would also add hypocrisy to the list. The fact that evangelicals, for one example, are more likely to be involved with fornication than the general public, despite biblical admonitions against it, turns people off.

War is another factor. Many non-believers point to religions such as Islam, Catholicism, and Protestantism as major causes of war, which turns many people off to the idea that there is a truly loving God. But of course, all scholars realize that early Christians would not participate in carnal warfare. And in my opinion, this is still true of faithful Christians today...

Armstrongites would readily sit back as they see their neighbors taken off to concentration camps or put in prison because of their beliefs.  They would have sat back when the Germans came for the Jews, gypsies, gays and Jehovah's Witnesses. They sit back and let others fight and die for their right to be assholes to the rest of humanity. 

Bitter Bob next takes a swipe at Bart Ehrman.  His childish simplistic "explanation" on what Ehrman supposed believes regarding Christianity.  Bitter Bob has complete disgust for Christan outside of Armstrongism so he has to take a swipe that Protestantism is what turned Ehrman off to God.

There are also scholars, for example, like Bart Ehrman, who started out as Protestant but when they learned more about church history, realized that Protestantism simply did not fit with church history or much of the Bible. And while he may be more of an agnostic than an atheist, the fact that most of what is considered by the world to be Christianity, is not Christianity, and this turns many off of religion (though it does not necessarily make them atheists).

Bitter Bob now weighs on on how illogical he thinks atheism is.  I don't know why he is so concerned on how others perceive a "personal" God, since Armstrongism completely ignores Jesus and anything he said or did.  Its all logical to Bitter Bob.  He knows all the answers.

But I would like to add that it is illogical to be an atheist. While there may be many reasons that people may doubt the existence of a personal God, such as the one that the Bible teaches about, the reality is that any that conclude that there cannot be a creator/god are being foolish:

1 The fool has said in his heart,”There is no God.” (Psalms 14:1, NKJV)

One of the reasons that it is foolish to conclude that there is no God is because humans should realize that we are finite beings. No human has been to ever place in the universe, no human has lived forever, no human has been to every possible dimension that may exist in the universe. Since no human has done that, for any human to conclude that there cannot be a god or any type is illogical. 

Why? Because no human has enough possible proof that God cannot exist. Doing so with limited “evidence” is foolish.

Furthermore, if the laws of bioscience are accepted as valid, one can easily prove that something outside of those laws (God) was necessary for life to begin and to continue. Amino acids simply did not randomly line up, become alive, realize that it had to eat, realize that it had to have a means to eat, immediately have a way to utilize food (like a properly developed digestive system), realize it had to reproduce for survival of life, and have the means to do so. It is illogical to conclude otherwise.

But, despite the fact that some claim to be atheists, God’s existence is logical.
