COG Member Says Lets Cheer Isis and GCI's Taking Down of the Illegal Videos so that the SWINE Cannot View It!



To show you how warped the thinking is of the diehard legalists, here are two comments that were sent to me tonight from an HWA idolatry site.

Herbert Armstrong's teachings are so precious that they should not be made available to the "swine" that will read it or watch it online.  Some in COG land are clapping for GCI's decision:


All I can say is that many of these materials that are on line should not be for public use. Mr.Armstrong never made his sermons or Bible Studies available to the general public and for good reason. I think only the material that was made for public use should be made available to the public and that which was for the church made private for those who truly want the truth so we don't cast our pearls before swine.

Then another person replied with this idiocy:

While we are cheering on the taking down of these videos lets cheer on ISIS for destroying all the pagan statues at the archeological sites as well…….

Day of Fasting Declared Because "Famine of the Word " Is Here!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The idiocy continues.  Fasting is the weapon of choice in Armstrongism by those that think it has magical powers. Their god is going to whip GCI's butt for this while it lets starving children die from hunger and Christian be slaughtered in the Middle East. God is more concerned about some idiots plagiarizing HWA's materials than these dying people. Idiocy at its finest!

THESE HWA YOUTUBE CHANNELS 
HAVE BEEN CENSORED.

1. The Real Elijah TV
2. Herbert W Armstrong TV ARCHIVES
3. The Worldwide Church of God ARCHIVES

These channels, housed hours of video and audio content from our church- The Worldwide Church of God, under the leadership of Herbert W Armstrong, Christ's chosen apostle.

A Dr. Kenny Ryans, a media manager for "Grace Communion International" , has been reporting the videos on these channels as copyright infringement, and because of this,YouTube deleted several videos, and in order for the channels to not be totally removed, we had to switch all our videos to "private".

On Youtube, if you receive 3 strikes against your account, Youtube totally bans you.

Because of Mr. Kenny Ryans' actions, we received 2 strikes per channel, and in order to not receive a final and third strike, we had to close down the channels for the time being.

Now, In being notified from YouTube, that our videos were reported, they provided the email for Mr. Ryans. So we contacted him yesterday, asking for the proof of ownership.

Now, these works are made available under Fair Use copyright law, for research purposes and for the preservation of the works.

Now, we have not edited, nor have we changed any of the material, nor are we receiving any monetary gain from such works.

But because of recent actions, done by representatives of "Grace Communion International", our channels are now temporarily closed, until further news.

We do apologized for this grave inconvenience, as we do want to make God's Truth available for everyone to learn and grow from.

So far, we have had no correspondence from Mr. Kenny Ryans, nor from Grace Communion International.
And we do wish to do so as soon as possible, to get these things resolved.
I predicted it and here it is!

We are entering into the Famine of the Word.

This channel is about the preserving of the works, and literary, and video and audio productions of the "Worldwide Church of God, a unincorporated spiritual organism". We are apart of this church, and we wish to protect and preserve the teachings of this "Church". And we wish to make them available, for our fellow brethren worldwide. And this is protected under the fair-use provision of the copyright regulations, as defined in 17 USC 107.

Under Herbert W Armstrong, The Worldwide Church of God, was also attacked with attempts to muzzle the message they brought. God's apostle, Herbert W Armstrong, preached around the world, the true gospel of Jesus Christ, the gospel or good news of the coming Kingdom of God!

These fools believe that since they call themselves the Worldwide Church of God, an unincorporated spiritual organism, this absolves them of their illegal activity's.  Unincorporated spiritual organism?  Sounds like an STD!

GCI's actions is none other than a direct attack against wimpy god the father and the thing they call "jesus."  What an impotent god they must follow if it cant preserve its message after 1,980 years!
And we, The Worldwide Church of God, an unincorporated spiritual organism, support him in God's Work. And we are still supporting him today, and that is why we make such materials available. And such attacks, from Grace Communion International, is an attack, believe it or not, on "The Worldwide Church of God, an unincorporated spiritual organism", and if God's Church is attacked, then the attack is on Jesus Christ and God the Father!

Those pesky demons are behind all of this!  Never-mind the fact that they illegally did something wrong, its all Satan's fault.
This world does not know what spirits lead them to do such deeds. They actually think they are doing God's will to destroy, and to censor and to muzzle the true gospel message, which was delivered by Herbert W Armstrong, and supported by "The Worldwide Church of God, an unincorporated spiritual organism".

So continue to pray brethren. Pray even for our enemies. Pray that God can bring them according to His Will to a place, where He can bless them for obeying Him.

AND CONTINUE TO DRAW CLOSE TO GOD THROUGH FASTING AND PRAYER.
The god of Armstrongism is always testing the people. A law based god does that.  A grace based God does not. Its no wonder most COG members are worn out by it all!

Because time is short, and we are entering it seems, the famine of the Word. But if that is God's Will, it will be done. But, perhaps God is testing His People Again, to see if they really love Him and His Truth, and to see if they are truly backing and supporting the delivering of the true gospel message, which Herbert W Armstrong preached?!?! 

Nevertheless, Satan the Devil is ANGRY!
Woooooo!!!!!!!!

A week or so ago, we received a news article speaking of Pope Francis' words of knowing "he has a short time", and that he must work harder than ever. Satan the Devil knows he has a short time!(Rev 12:12)

And his men are working feverishly towards the Devil's goals, in destroying that true gospel message, and God's Church along with it. ARE WE ON FIRE FOR GOD BRETHREN? If the Devil and His instruments are working hard, WE OUGHT TO BE WORKING HARD AT GETTING CLOSER TO GOD! God alone will fight our battles. But we need to clean up our lives, and draw close to Him and He will then draw close to us as He promises in His Word.

He is watching our choices. We are truly being judged right now.

We all have fell to sin, and have found each of ourselves off track.

God corrects those whom He loves, and He allows calamities and trials and persecutions to come on His people, to test them, and to strengthen them. Faith is like a muscle, it must be used in order to grow and build. But unlike a muscle, we cannot work up faith, but it must be given by Jesus Christ. The Living faith of Jesus Christ is what we must have, and God has promised in His Word, that if we ask for faith, He will give us the LIVING faith of Jesus Christ.

We are not battling with human beings, but with spirits in high places, who do not want God's Truth made available, who want to see it destroyed, who want every single one of us DEAD forever. We have a large target on our backs. And Satan and his demons are zeroing on God's Church, and wanting to destroy us, any way he can. DO you have a sin you don't think matters? Satan will use that to destroy you forever, if you do not repent of that sin, and turn and begin doing it God's Way! The same is with us. We are in perilous times brethren. And we need to get each other back on track.

We are awaiting correspondence from Kenny Ryans, who reported our videos, and we are praying that God delivers us, and protects His truth.

Perhaps our job is coming to a close? You better make sure you have as much as these materials downloaded for yourselves if you want them. Because they are being taken down, as we speak.

Please keep us in your prayers brethren. You are in our prayers.

Please set aside a day for fasting, and take all of this to God. Examine yourselves and make sure you are on track with God.

Thank you. And may God bless.
In Christ's Service,
The Herbert W Armstrong TV ARCHIVES staff

Grace Communion International Goes After Web Site Illegally Posting Herbert Armstrong Videos




When the Worldwide Church of God began to implode in the mid-1990's various people decided it was up to them to preserve all the writings and videos that Herbert Armstrong ever produced.  Most of these web sites illegally posted copyrighted material that belonged to the Worldwide Church of God.  Gerald Flurry was particularly guilty of this and eventually had to settle out of court and had to pay the WCG over $3,000,000.00 for copyright rights. No matter how much Stephen Flurry claims it was a victory for the PCG in securing these rights, they had to PAY for them after suffering one humiliation after another in court.

In spite of PCG's costly escapade, others started plagiarizing HWA's books and booklets and posting his videos as "fair use" and "educational" materials.  One of these  idolatry sites was the HWALibrary.com site.

On April 15, 2015 Grace Communion International went after the HWAlibrary site.  GCI filed copyright infringement accusations against them with YouTube.

As everyone knows by now Grace Communion is considered Satan's agent by most of the splinter groups.  Before long these sites will be belching out, "famine of the word!"

This afternoon around 2:00 PM on April 15, 2015 we noticed a few videos were missing. After checking, we found that "Grace Communion International" (formally the "Worldwide Church of God") had filed several copyright notices with YouTube concerning the Telecast section of HWALibrary.com. YouTube stated we were not to upload any more videos which we did not. The notice from YouTube also stated we needed to file a counter notification through a YouTube form they provided. After checking into the matter to make sure we could legally file a counter notification we did so around 5:30 PM just hours after receiving the first notice from YouTube. At around 7:00 PM after we did exactly what YouTube asked us, they (YouTube) deactivated our HWALibrary.com account.

We are not sure why YouTube gave us no time even though the counter notification we filed stated it would take 10 days, but they did and we are checking as to why.

HWALibrary.com spent years building the YouTube channel, we want everyone to know we have all material archived and are looking at all our options of getting all audio/video files back up as soon as possible.

HWALibrary.com used YouTube because of the cost savings, but we have always known the risk of allowing a third party to handle the material, but the cost savings was the only way at the time

HWALibrary.com was able to handle the large volume of bandwidth required to handle the 1.6 million hits a month.


HWALibrary.com believes the use of the material is legally protected because it falls within the "fair use" provision of the copyrightregulations, as defined in 17 USC 107. Herbert W Armstrong Library (HWALibrary.com) is also a non-profit educational library.

At very least YouTube should have given us the time stated (10 days) or simply let us know before deactivating all 1,335 Videos, there were only 143 Telecasts in question, we did everything they asked.

We are sorry and please pray that everything works out for us all! We will keep everyone updated on this page as to what is happening or what fixes we come up with; cost is a factor on all this.

Regards,
HWALibrary.com
