Is Your Beef Stew Making You Idolatrous and Wicked?

The Church of God Chief Pharisee, James Malm, ever on a quest to control his followers lives is now telling them how to cook beef stew.

When we make a soup or stew we should first slowly cook the meat, and then strain the blood from the broth through a cloth before adding the vegetables. 

God uses a stew made of choice meat, which in the cooking becomes full of oozing blood and floating scum which is not strained off and the stew of fine meats is polluted; as an allegory of the apostates.  We the spiritually called out were called out and made the choicest people to the Eternal, only to become polluted in our own idolatry and wickedness.  

When questioned about his legalistic nonsense, the Chief Pharisee responds:

I have never heard of such a thing–is there a scriptural reference to validate this practice? My understanding has been that rinsing off meat that has been properly drained of blood after slaughter with water (along with trimming off excess fat)was all that was required prior to cooking it.
Also, what about roasted or fried meat? Since some of the offerings that were cooked in such manner were granted to the Levites as food, that would seem to make this practice okay for preparing food.

We are specifically commanded never to eat any blood in several places. That would certainly include the straining off of any blood [the dark clumpy pasty mess that comes off slow cooking meat.] that came out of the meat in cooking. Especially when today’s meat is not fit for consumption and all we can do is wash it well and then scoop off the bloody scum at home. Certainly we can roast or fry meat, but we should make sure to wash it well and to cook slowly so the blood will come out; as for the sacrifices those animals were killed by cutting the jugular and allowed to bleed, while modern slaughter involves striking the head with a hammer, or even electrocution and strangling [fowl] all forbidden by God.

You MUST keep two days of Feast of Trumpets in 2015 because of a 5% / 95% chance you are keeping the wrong day

Below is a quote from the Chief Pharisee of Armstrongism, James Malm.  His legalistic pile of mumbo-jumbo gets harder and harder for his followers to understand or follow.

He is already looking forward to the cultic version of the Feast of Tabernacles 2015.

FALL HOLY DAYS:   As usual the fall Holy Days are the most difficult to determine ahead of time.  Because of this Israel from the most ancient of times always set aside the earliest expected day as well as the next day, just in case the new moon was not seen on the earliest expected day.
This has given rise to Rabbinic Judaism keeping the Feast of Trumpets for two days, when it is only a one day High Day.  

Pharisee Malm wants his cult followers to miss two days of work next year just to make sure they have covered their ass and any "unpleasantness" that it might cause if they kept the "wrong" day..

In 2015 there is a very faint possibility that the Feast of Trumpets could be on Sep 15 although the overwhelming probability is that it will be on Sep 16th.  I do advise taking two days off work beginning with the earliest expected day to avoid any possible unpleasantness for both the Feast of Trumpets and the Fast of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles. 
It is about 5% likely that Atonement will be on Sep 24 and 95% that it will be on Sep 25th.  It is about 5% likely that the Feast of Tabernacles will begin on Sep 29 and 95% likely that it will begin on Sep 30.

Even the narcissistic asshats Flurry and Pack are not this controlling!  Well, at least not yet.  Once Malm trains them in the truth they will see the glorious light and COMMAND their members to keep two days.

22 Year Philadelphia Church of "god" Member Finally Leaves The Manipulation of Gerald Flurry Behind

A woman who was a member of Gerald Flurry's personalty cult, the Philadelphia Church of God, relates what she had her family experience in her  22 year membership in the PCG.

She writes what everyone who has been part of Armstrongism has experienced.

When you first come in, it looks so good--lots of friends, laws to live by that seem to promise happiness. All is well--until they think you didn't do something they said to do. Then you're constantly watched as they can't take the chance of you thinking for yourself and breaking rank. Just the smallest thing is suspicious. Then comes the threats. You can't be part of this if you don't follow suit. They begin to instill fear. After that you're hooked. But you keep going on and on because all your friends are there, all your money goes there, and your children are in there.

They have cut you off from the world ever so gradually and replaced everything and everybody with them only. The constant fear of being put out and not "making it into God's Kingdom" keeps you from leaving. You will do anything. Your hope of a lifeline to someone on the outside, to get out, is gone. You have alienated everyone in your family that could help you to get out. You're constantly talking about prophecies and that "we alone" are called and going to the "place of safety" and that no one understands but us in the "true church." It really turns others off.  Giving the Reigns of Our Life Over to Someone Else

Fear is the only way the leaders of all the Armstrongite splinter groups stay in power.  By threatening a member with the lake of fire and eternal damnation for going against them, it scares people enough to keep them submissive and weak.

Cultwatch says this about fear:

Cult leadership is feared. To disagree with leadership is the same as disagreeing with God. The cult leaders will claim to have direct authority from God to control almost all aspects of your life. If the cult is not a religious group then questioning the leaders or program will still be seen as a sign of rebellion and stupidity.

Guilt will be used to control you. Maybe the reason you’re not making money is because you’re not “with the programme”. Maybe the reason you’re not able to convert new recruits is because “your heart is prideful and full of sin”. It could never be that the programme isn’t working, or those new recruits have valid reasons for not joining. It’s always your fault, you are always wrong, and so you must try harder! You will also be made to feel very guilty for disobeying any of the cult’s written or unwritten rules.

 Psychology Today writes:

.....pathologically narcissistic. They all have or had an over-abundant belief that they were special, that they and they alone had the answers to problems, and that they had to be revered. They demanded perfect loyalty from followers, they overvalued themselves and devalued those around them, they were intolerant of criticism, and above all they did not like being questioned or challenged. And yet, in spite of these less than charming traits, they had no trouble attracting those who were willing to overlook these features. 

"Pathologically narcissistic" is a great description of the leadership of almost all the Church of God's.  One needs to look no further than David C Pack and Gerald Flurry to see these traits blatantly obvious.

On a Facebook page recently, a person wrote that they witnessed a scene with David C Pack that left them appalled.  It seems a group of young men and women were standing around waiting for Dave to arrive.  When he did, the guys rushed to see who got to open Dave's car door first as they shoved the women aside. 

Demanding extreme loyalty is the only way these men stay in power.
