Bob Thiel On Why "Tramp Stamps" Are More Theologically Important Than Caring For Your Neighbor

Bob Thiel has always considered himself the most educated person in the Churches of God.  He feels he has a better grasp on theology, prophecy, the Mayans, the Bible than anyone else in the church, particularly when it comes to Rod Meredith.

Because of this immense treasure house of knowledge that he has, Thiel feels he has to weigh in on every little jot and tittle possible.

He is back again today complaining about tattoo's. According to Thiel everyone that has a tattoo is a worshiper of Bes.

Bes (Bisu, Aha) was an ancient Egyptian dwarf god. He was a complex being who was both a deity and a demonic fighter. He was a god of war, yet he was also a patron of childbirth and the home, and was associated with sexuality, humour, music and dancing. Although he began as a protector of the pharaoh, he became very popular with every day Egyptian people because he protected women and children above all others. He had no temples and there were no priests ordained in his name. However, he was one of the most popular gods of ancient Egypt and was often depicted on household items such as furniture, mirrors and cosmetics containers and applicators as well as magical wands and knives. It is also thought that sacred prostitutes may have had a tattoo of Bes placed near their pubic area in order to prevent venereal diseases…(Gods of Ancient Egypt: Bes. Copyright J Hill 2010. http://ancientegyptonline.co.uk/bes.html)

Thus, tattoos provided a religious connection with this Egyptian deity. Throughout the Bible, God’s people are warned to come out of Egypt and not have images of heathen gods (e.g. Exodus 20:1-6). Since Bes was supposed to be a protector and fighter against demons, this may well be why prostitutes had tattoos–apparently some were mistakenly led to believe that the tattoo would protect them from sexually-transmitted diseases and other problems. God did not want His people to follow such practices.

In case you did not get the hint above, Thiel says that women who get tattoo's and tramp stamps are promiscuous whores.

Lower-back tattoos are also perceived as an indication of promiscuity by some, and so that is likely how come the term “tramp stamp” is sometimes used to describe them (for more details you can also watch the Bible News Prophecy video Should Christians Get a Tattoo?). When one considers that the tattoo is not in a place that the woman getting it can see without mirrors or some other aid, this is also consistent with the view it is there to be seen by someone looking at her nude/nearly nude body (or fairly low cut slacks while wearing a short top/blouse).

 28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord. 29 ‘Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry, and the land become full of wickedness. (Leviticus 19:28-29)

The fact that the admonition against prostitution comes right after the admonition to not have tattoos reminds me of the view that certain tattoos are signs of a tramp, hence the modern term “tramp stamp.”

Thiel spends more time worrying about useless things that have no connection with ones standing with God than he does in carrying for the homeless in his community, the starving and hurting in the world, or speaking out for the Christians being murdered in Iraq.  Sine no one outside the CCOG is a true Christian they do not need to be worried about in this life time.  God will punish them or fix them some time in the future.

Bob forgets that God's most important apostle to ever live had a son with tattoo's and promoted him to lofty positions.  Apparently GTA bowed down regularly to Bes.  That was the reason the secret room was built up in the ceiling of the Auditorium so that the enlightened ones could go there and worship Bes.the

While it is a fact that GTA was not a Bes worshiper he certainly fit the whore monger description!

Bob Thiel: Those Who Do Not Support My Work Are Doomed

The self appointed prophet, apostle, Chief Overseer, Mayan authority, and despiser of Rod Meredith, Bob Thiel, has announced that no one outside his personality cult will make it into the kingdom because they are all deceived.

Ever since Bob Thiel self-appointed himself to the position as the only true end time Church of God leader, he has been declaring his personality cult the TRUE Philadelphia Church of God.

Because everyone else outside the boundaries of his personality cult are non-Philadelphians, they are cut off from God's mercy and are turning themselves over to severe judgment and damnation.

If you wisen up and join up with prophet Bob and his "true remnant" you will get the lucky "E" ticket to Petra.

He writes today:

Philadelphians have the ‘Philadelphia work’ (see The Final Phase of the Work ) and put the proper emphasis on the word of God watch the sermons on ContinuingCOG channel), and truly represents the “pillar and ground of truth” (1 Timothy 3:15), without accepting the type of doctrinal and/character compromises that others have tolerated (see also Why Bob Thiel Left the Living Church of God).  Also, many groups whose leaders once were part of the old Worldwide Church of God no hold fast to officially teach church eras as they were once taught (e.g. UCG, COGaIC, COGWA, ICG, CGOM, CGI, CGG), hence they, like those in Sardis (e.g. CG7), will not be aware or prepared enough.  As far as ‘independents’ go, the Bible warns that all should “gather together” “before the decree is issued” so that they “may be hidden in the day of the Lord’s anger” (Zephaniah 2:1,2,3).  Those who fail to support the true remnant of the Philadelphia portion of the Church of God will not be protected, as only the faithful Philadelphians are promised that protection (Revelation 3:7-10).

E W King the Ex-Hari Krishna, ex-Church of God Member and Leader, ex-Prophet and Authority on the Mind is Now the Father of Modern Beatnik Music

The craziness coming out of Eric King continues to astound.  He has jumped from one fundamentalist cult to the next several times.  He has declared himself a prophet, a leader of the end time true church, as qualified to delve into the mysteries of the mind and much more.

A few days ago E W Kings prophetic utterances and Church of God malarkey disappeared from the public view.  In its place a new movement appeared.  Eric is now considered the originator and godfather of the "Modern Beatnik" movement.

Here are quotes from an article about King and his music.  It also points out a new facet of King.  he was once a Hari Krishna.  Obviously King has a deep need for a spiritual identity is is searching for something that has meaning to him.  Not fining that need met in the Hari Krishna's, Seventh Day Adventists and Armstrongism, perhaps he has finally found his soul nourishd with music.

Beatniks are known for their antimaterialistic stance and search for truth by understanding the human spirit. It is true that the early first Beatniks were fairly conservative and highly intellectual. It is said that the title "beatnik" simply means one who has been "beaten-down" [metaphorically] by a non-acceptance of society. Usually the Beatnik feels that mainstream society cannot understand him or her and thus rejection. This is why Beatniks find shelter by hanging out with other Beatniks.

In early 2001 Eric William King started forming a very basic acoustic sound with his guitar which has now become known as "Modern Beatnik". Eric played in a band after he dropped out of High-school. He played hardcore punk in garages and backyards. He was once a Hare Krishna. He traveled through the United States by himself on a Greyhound bus when he was only sixteen, running away to his sisters who at the time lived in Florida.

The term "Modern Beatnik" was used among friends as early as 1984. Eric started the MODERN ACOUSTIC BEATNIK SOUND.

It is easy to see why King found Armstrongism appealing.  Armstrongites have always felt "beaten down" by the world and Satan.  They are martyrs for the truth. Society has ever really has accepted them.  They are tolerated and praised as long as they are doing a few "good works" but within a few months or years their impact is nil.  Armstrongism has always felt marginalized and has taken delight in that.  They deep down love the rejection it brings. It legitimizes their "understanding."

He began to teach the Bible in his late twenties. He has been married twice. His second wife passed away at a young age. He started a highly controversial "Worldwide Church of God" ministry on October 7th of 2011. His ministry is now only open to members. He works with animals and plays his guitar to this day and offers his music to the newly and highly controversial movement known as the Modern Beatnik Movement or Moby~Nik for short.

Eric dresses plain, sometimes like your standard Beatnik and sometimes with a cowboy look. He sometimes talks about his Cherokee heritage mixed with UFO's and the Bible. He is definitely an interesting "cat" ~ groovy to say the least.

I have a sneaky suspicion that the web site and this "author" writing about King is none other than King himself.  If it is not him it is one of his acolytes writing what King has told him to write. It was easy to see on his world prophecy site that he wrote about himself and even commented on his own comments.


Someday, this messed up guy may truly find peace, but I have a feeling we are going to see even more strange things transpire.
