Philadelphia Church of God Using Death Bed Threats Against Dying PCG Members: Give Us Your Money Or No God's Kingdom For You!

Where would the Church of God be if it was not able to demand money from its followers.  Sadly in Armstrongism it is all about threats and coercion in getting people to send in money.  There is nothing taught about freely giving because you have been blessed.  Its rather, GOD COMMANDS IT...or in COG speak...I DEMAND IT!

There is a letter on Exit and Support that has the following about how Gerald Flurry and his henchmen are going to the death beds of the last few wealthy members and demanding that they turn over all assets to the Philadelphia Church of God.  Its vitally important that the PCG get as much money possible so they keep their newly purchased mansion in Edstone, UK and finance the Irish Dance training of the elite children living on the PCG compound, and pay for the endless number of trips of Lil'Stevie to England.

I'd like to pass on is how Flurry has coerced and terrified some of the wealthiest members of his cult into leaving everything to him. Even members that are sick and dying have been visited in the hospital by the ministry and told that their money was "meant for God" (i. e., the PCG), and that God made them wealthy so that when they died, it was to be given to PCG, or they wouldn’t make it into the kingdom. As a result of this fear, they have signed over their wealth to the PCG cult.

I've run across some who are still in PCG and they have a glare, an odd stare. They almost look under a spell. Really scary. --Former member of WCG & PCG

With the drop in membership in PCG they are scrambling to recoup money lost. The remaining members are being told to give more and more. 

Three Great Testimonies By Three Of The Greatest Men To Ever Live (One Is A COG Leader)

Did you  know that one of three of the greatest "testimonies" ever uttered was by none other than one of our very own COG leaders?  I bet you are guessing right now who that is.  Herbert Armstrong?  Garner Ted Armstrong? Stan Rader? Robin Webber?  Jimmy Meredith? Gerald Flurry? Dave Pack? Vic Kubik? Rod Meredith?

Lets look at the first quote:

“I am not an Atheist. I do not know if I can define myself as a Pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds… The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God.” ~ Albert Einstein

Next we have:

Tesla later went public with his claim that he was receiving extraterrestrial voice transmissions and was subjected to the usual humiliating ridicule that greets UFO witnesses today when they try to speak openly of their experiences.

Then we have our very own Church of God leader!  Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!

Keep going

and going...

and going...

"As many of you know I have had the privilege of communicating with extraterrestrials since I was a child at age 12. I have been in contact with many different types of ET’s. It wasn’t until July 14^th 2014 that I had special contact with what is known as “the Keeper class”. These are the highest most evolved and advanced ET’s within our universe." ~ Eric W. King

COG Prophet Claims Texas Rain A Sure Sign Of The Time of Troubles

See: BBC News

God's most intelligent authority on every subject imaginable is back claiming the destructive rain in Texas was a sure sign from God that the end time troubles are neigh.  Like so many COG leaders he almost seems giddy that property is destroyed and people die.  Without death and destruction these fools have nothing to stand on or "prove" themselves as correct.  I can almost guarantee that within the next few days Rod Meredith, Gerald Flurry and Dave Pack will all come out claiming this is just one more sign that their god is SPANKING the Israelite nations because they are worthless piles of rotting, sinful human garbage.

The doubly blessed prophet and apostle Bob Thiel has to jump back to an old article by Donald Schroeder that was once published in a WCG rag called The Plain Truth.

The Bible reveals God also directly intervenes to cause weather plagues to warn certain nations. “I have smitten you with blasting and mildew . .. yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord” (Amos 4:9). He, in his great purpose, may also allow Satan-the god of this world (II Cor. 4:4)-to have a role in producing calamitous weather, for man’s ultimate learning (see Job, chapter 1). (Schroeder D. CHAOTIC WEATHER Return of the dust bowl? Plain Truth. 1984, pp. 19-20)

The doubly blessed prophet then has to put his two cents in:

The Bible repeatedly warns, especially in the Hebrew scriptures, that various sins will result in destructive weather. Weather is not as random as most seem to want to believe.

Back in 2009, in a book, I mentioned the following was about to happen:

Considering all of the natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, food shortages, and economic problems in the past few years, perhaps this would be a good time to explain that the Bible shows that these problems were expected to occur prior to the great tribulation. Those outside the Bible have sometimes referred to a time such as this as a time of transition or chaos. …

There will be a generation that will experience end-time events, beginning with “sorrows,” including the Great Tribulation, heavenly signs, and finally the return of Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:5-34). …
