How Ambassador College Used One of Satan's Greatest Books

Satan's FAAAAAAAAAAVORITE Book!

The mind of an Armstrrongite is a terrbile thing to waste....or make fun of:

From a conservative Yahoo Group that worships HWA:

I blame lots of this confusion on the way people hang onto the teachings of Books like. “How to win friends and influence people.” 

It is all about selling by manipulation. Starting on commonly held idea’s. Leading people to lower their guard. Then when fully mesmerised, to throw in the deceitful selling pitch. Then get out quick.  Before the people realize they just bought something they never wanted.

 

Compare that to how Mr Armstrong advertised and sold things. He gave the facts, explaining in detail.

 My wife was talking to a Protestant Minister a few years ago and he asked what Church did she attend. She answered something like a part of the Old WCG. Now this is where the story gets interesting.

He said that at the Ministers college  they taught from his books. Etc.

So this would mean that they learn how to twist what he taught. How to bamboozle people’s minds. Of truth and error to confuse.

 

Quite a few years ago, I started to studied many books like. “How to win friends and influence people.” Just to learn how people (and Church Ministers) use mind control tricks to sell ideas.

I have heard how one WCG Evangelist said. “That after Ambassador College started to use the Book. “How to win friends and influence people.” That he was never able to tell if anyone was telling the truth or lying”.

 I believe that those types of sales book are based on the spirit as stated in. (especially the words I have underlined below) Gal 5:20  idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,

 

One of Satan’s greatest Books was taught in Ambassador College.  Everyone needs to get those idea’s completely out of their minds.

 

Christ talked lots about the Truth. We need to get back to Yes is Yes.  Not the “Yes” of those Selling Books that means. “Tricking you. Sending you to sleep”.

 

Everyone should read these. “How to lie and manipulate People”. Books to find out how to be on guard to the methods of the power of the air.  

 

In short. Confusion comes from Satanic idea’s.

 

UCG's Epic "Why Were You Born" Media Failure

UCG went into hyper-drive recently touting a new lecture series featuring Gary Petty.  The topic they picked has been a favorite one that has occupied Armstrongites for decades.  Why Were You Born?  Only Armstrongites seem invested in this and that is tied directly into HWA's obsession with it in the 1940-50's.  Coming out of the War people were asking this question in light of the atrocities and millions of lives lost.  Today, hardly anyone even worries about this, yet UCG claims it is the most asked question in all of humanity.

UCG released the facts about this wondrous campaign the other day including numbers of attendees.

Attendance at the event was over 200, including some local United Church of God members and Ambassador Bible College students. (Due to space limitations, the majority of local church members were not able to attend.) In addition, almost 400 webcast connections watched the event live online—representing more than a 1,000 people.

Particularly encouraging, was that the seminar drew 74 new guests, most having reserved tickets ahead of time, with a few showing up at the door for the event. Everybody who attended received a free seminar-themed notebook with pen and a copy of the United Church of God booklet Why Were You Born? (which was previously titled What Is Your Destiny?).

Notice what was said above:  attendance was around 200, 126 attendees were UCG members, employees and ABC students.  74 people were non-COG.   With an urban population of 2.2 million,  74 people is a horrendous payoff for the amount of money dumped into this failed campaign.

Billboards in the Cincinnati area through Lamar cost around $2,500 each for a four week period.  Their impact is the number of vehicles that drive by in a given period of time times the number of occupants in the vehicle.  UCG bought  eight of these billboards. Other costs were to rent the hotel room at the Holiday Inn for the meeting and for the free pens and notebooks given to the attendees.

Pandora radio ads were paid for, 746 ads were paid to run on Time Warner Cable in the Cincinnati area.  UCG had to pay for over 1,000 Google click-through ads.  5,400 letters were mailed by the USPS to household in the Cincinnati area.  This does not include the employee cost that it used to run Facebook and Twitter accounts or to plan the event.

Only in Armstrongism can it be declared a success they 74 people out of 2.2 million show up. It just goes to show that all the millions they are dumping into booklets, magazines and television shows is having a negligible impact worldwide.  No one knows who UCG is or what kind of silly message they are promoting.  It still plays mainly to a COG base that is constantly shape shifting from one group to the next.

Lawrence Mumme: COG Weddings Are Heathen Celebrations of the Incestuous Relationship Between Isis and Tammuz

The latest Journal is out, issue 165 (pg.10).  One of the advertisements this time is from Lawrence Mumme on weddings.  Like any good Armstrongite he has to find something pagan about weddings.  Anything that is enjoyable in the world and daily life seems to lead directly back to paganism.  Nothing can be simple in Armstrongism.

Mumme writes:

"Heathenism Is Still With Us
We have cast off the pagan holidays,such as Easter sunrise services, Christmas with its exchanging of gifts, Halloween and its evil. But how about the other paganism?  From the very most ancient times, the heathens have followed the “Queen of Heaven” by doing what she did:having weddings. She came down the aisle (in her temple, dressed in white with a white veil; “here comes the bride”). The glory went to her,not to God. All eyes were upon her. This was an incestuous union—with her son.The two were known as Isis and Osiris, or Easter and Tam-muz, or Inauna and Damuzi (Tammuz). This was very sinful. The righteous people had no such thing."

"One of hte ways of the devil's church that we of the Church of God still observe is that of having weddings."

"Every day, thousands of women march down the aisle dressed like the Queen of Heaven. Is this Christian? Invoking the name of Christ at a wedding ceremony does not make it Christian any more than placing the name of Christ on the Saturnalia, calling it Christ- mas,makes it a Christian holy day"

If you read his article you will quickly see that the entire thing is focused upon the women.  They are the sinners that wear white.  They parade down the aisle like "the queen of heaven" and they file for divorce.  Its all their fault.  Men seem to be hapless bystanders sucked into the deception of the vile satanic women.  Only men can file for divorce and it is the disruptive women of society that have caused the divorce rates to skyrocket.  Apparently the woman must remain in the abusive or failed marriage and if that fails must remain single the rest of her life.

At least 50 percent of husband-wife unions fail, along with the backing by the government that upholds the wife with alimony and property. This is the scourge of this nation:the breakup of the home.

Jesus gives only one exception to divorce, and that is to the man:“except for fornication”(Matthew 19:9).

 If he finds out she was not a virgin,fraud.

 If she afterwards fornicates.

 If she withholds herself from him so that he is tempted to fornicate (1 Corinthians 7:5).

 Adultery is the classification for all sexual sins. Women have no biblical authority for divorce.1 Corinthians 7:1-5 is very important. Romans 7:1-3:

 Here she has no way out, except possibly to remain single. (See 1 Corinthians 7:10-11.)

Its all the fault of those damn Catholics!  They had to go and ruin everything for those in Armstrongism.

“By the authority of Jesus Christ, I now pronounce you man and wife.”

These words are heard every day.Yet,without authorization from the state,such a ceremony is illegal and will not hold up in a court of law. There is no right of inheritance for the children either.

This ceremony is a mockery to Jesus Christ and is not found in the Bible, either in an example nor any words to that effect.

A woman does not become a wife till the union is consummated.

Isaac took Rebekah to his mother’s tent and she became his wife (and not till then) (Genesis 24:67; see also Song of Solomon 3:4).

The ceremony called “the wedding”came down through the centuries from heathen religions to Rome and the Catholic Church,which uses it and did use it to control people and exert authority. If you do not go through their ceremony by one of their priests,it is considered a sin and your children are considered illegitimate,so they say.

It has erroneously been said that “God performed a ceremony for Adam and Eve”(Genesis 1:28). This was a command from God, not a ceremony. Adam and Eve had no choice in the matter.

If you are a minister, you have authority only from the state in these matters,and not from Jesus Christ

The Queen of Heaven had her incestuous union stamped with approval by the rite we now call the “marriage ceremony.”

God’s Word shows no rite whatsoever. It is not the taking of vows that I am writing about. It is that heathen rite where the bride enters, dressed and veiled as the Queen of Heaven, and the audience rises in homage.The groom comes in silently from the side (based on a quote from HWA in 1957).

I guess the pagan origins of wedding rings, wearing white are not as bad as wearing white and walking down the aisle with a veil.  Damn women!  Its all YOUR fault...and Isis, and Tammuz, and Herbert Armstrong, and SATAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
