LCG's Simplistic View On Depression

You can learn more about depression in these 4 minutes

 than you ever will in the LCG or reading one of its booklets.

Remember that this quote comes from a church that produced Terry Ratzmann who murdered several LCG members when he became depressed over hearing Rod Meredith's end-time hopelessness.  This is also the same church that has caused numerous suicides of members and teenagers who became depressed at their unworthiness after hearing endless sermons brow beating them. This is also the same church that refuses to speak out against abusive COG leaders of other splinter personality cults who have directly caused suicides of members.

Davey Crockett on The "Black Dog"

If you suffer from the “Black Dog” of depression, you may need professional or medical intervention to bring it under control. However, the eternal truths found in the Bible can bring peace of mind. Paul wrote to the church in Philippi, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).

The cure for this is to write in to get LCG's booklet.  Hopelessness will disappear and warm fuzzy world tomorrow thoughts will immediately fill your head ending your depression.

On our website you will find our free booklet entitled What is a True Christian and other resources, which will be helpful if you or someone you care about is dealing with this widespread condition. Don’t delay; obtain this information. You will be glad you did.

Instead of advertising one of its nonsensical booklets Davey Crockett should have referred people to these resources:

LCG: Our Humor Is More Godly Than Those So-Called Christians We Make Fun Of

Living Church of God's John Wheeler has a humorless posting up on how LCG servants are better at humor than the world around them.

 Wheeler takes offense at those who might make jokes about or mock his god.  However, it is perfectly OK for LCG ministers to mock and ridicule those they call "so-called" Christians around them.  It is OK to make fun of them every chance they get.  Just look at the bad fruit that LCG produced in Bob Thiel.  He mocks Christians every chance he gets.

We humans can take humor one step farther and joke about the ultimate questions of existence. If there is a God who cares for and rules over men, though, then joking about Him is dangerous ground to walk on. But surely it is amusing to those with eyes to see how foolish man can be in his devotion to false gods and false concepts. In the Bible, Elijah (1 Kings 18:27), Isaiah (Isaiah 44:10–20), Wisdom personified (Proverbs 1:24–27), Paul (2 Corinthians 11:1, 16–18, 21, 23), and even God Himself (Psalm 2:4), all employ different “senses of humor” to challenge false gods and false concepts on their own grounds.

LCG ministers and elders have a God given talent for humor when they use it in sermons or to "righteously" mock church members they have disdain for or those poor unconverted satanically deceived so-called Christians..

God’s servants could do this because our “sense of humor” is rooted in a major “defense mechanism” of the human mind. We can use humor rightly to laugh at our own foibles; we can use it as a way of defending God’s truth. The problem comes when we use humor to mock or scorn other human beings, human authorities that God has ordained, or worst of all, God Himself, His law, His grace, and His promises. The Bible has a long list of warnings and examples against “mocking” and “scorning.”

Paul wrote to Christians: “[Let there be] neither filthiness [among you], nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks” (Ephesians 5:4). The Greek word behind “coarse jesting” is interesting. Aristotle, in his Politics, used it to describe what we might call “college-freshman humor”: as clever and skeptical as it was coarse. It denigrated its targets—it did not build them up. Does this sound familiar? It should. Such humor fills the speech, the “sitcoms” and the movies of our modern world—to say nothing of social media on the Internet!

So where is our “sense of humor” directed? Do we use it to help us see how deceitful our own minds are (Jeremiah 17:9), to defend the truth with wisdom, or to dishonor others made in God’s image?

The answer to this question is to write in to get LCG's booklet What Is A True Christian. There you will learn that there are NO Christians outside the environs of the Living Church of God.

Lord, Its Hard To Be Humble When You Are The Chosen Church of God (PCG)

Gareth Fraser, one of PCG's new up and coming elite in Edmondk preaches to the PCG membership about "humility."

For some reason Gareth believes that the PCG is the pillar of humbleness.  Gerald Flurry is the most humble person to ever walk this earth in the every footsteps of Jesus Christ.

Humility is one of three great qualities God is looking for in those loyal Philadelphians who worship Him. “O, man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God” (Micah 6:8).

Only "loyal" PCG members can be humble.  The key word is "loyal."

A humble person recognizes his personal status in the growth process of conversion. We are not to think too highly of ourselves. “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith” (Romans 12:3). After humbly submitting to God, we must continually realize that any good in us, anything of value, comes from God. Of and by ourselves, we can and will accomplish nothing of value without the direction of our Creator (John 15:5). But we ought never to forget these inspired words of the Apostle Paul: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13).

Does this look like a man of humility?

Humility in the PCG boils down to one thing....submission to authority.

We must be sure that we respect and honor God’s ministry. Our receptiveness to God’s instruction via His ministers is a solid yardstick of our humility. “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account …” (Hebrews 13:17). The ministers have a heavy burden to carry and we must be genuinely receptive to instruction, “… that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you” (verse 17).

We have been called individually (or sanctified as youths) by God to understand His revealed truth. God wants us to be eager for His instruction. We must set aside our own opinions, notions and persuasions and strive for the attitude of the man after God’s own heart. “Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day” (Psalm 25:4-5).

God assures us, “[T]o this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word” (Isaiah 66:2). That is teachableness and humility; that’s what we need, along with “a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart” (Psalm 51:17).

There it is, plain as day! PCG is all about brokenness.  By breaking the spirit of its members and brow beating them into submission they are better able to control them. Guilt plays an important part in keeping the membership in line.  Contrite hearts usually feel guilty about something they have done wrong.  In the PCG this is a CONSTANT state of mind that the membership are in.  They are never quit good enough, have missed the mark some how, or have pissed God off so much that he has delayed his coming yet again.  The PCG membership lives in fear of Flurry and his minions.  Just look at the Dattalo,  Culpepper, Turgeon fiascoes over the last year.  The PCG is one sick, morally bankrupt personalty cult!
