Who Wants To Listen To Church of God Blowhards?

From a reader:

Who wants to listen to dead Ted's old recorded blatherings about morality when that fucking pervert had none himself and finally had to be expelled openly and permanently from the WCG by his own father HWA when GTA got so spoiled that he would no longer even pretend to repent?

Who wants to listen to a false prophet like Flurry ramble on about morality while he edits, deletes, changes and warps HWA's teachings so he can cut you off from all contact with your real family members and hand you over to old PCG sex perverts and predators?

Who wants to listen to Meredith talk about morality when he is always lying to his followers about what HWA had taught in the past and would now supposedly want “upgraded”?

Who wants to listen to the UCG's Council of Evildoers talk about morality when they expel innocent victims of guilty perverts so they can show what they now call “love” to the unrepentant, godless perverts that they welcome in to vainly try to increase the attendance numbers of their continually splitting retirement paycheck project?

Who wants to listen to some Pack of lies try to get you all outraged about the perverse fashions in the world only to have him go on to claim at the end of the same six hours of noise that he (and not HWA) is the Elijah since DCP “restored” the doctrine that you have to give everything you have to him (which sort of makes you wonder what the point was of all those tithes and offerings if you are just supposed to hand over everything)?

Who wants to listen to Ronald the Clown's (Weinland) endless silly fiction just so you can end up buying his family members the overpriced Euro-junk that passes for cars?

Who wants to listen to (Bob) Thiel talk about morality when he is steeped in pagan prophecies and retroactively tricked someone into anointing him as a prophet (rather than for his illness, which turned out to be mental and spiritual rather than physical)?

Who wants to listen to Joe (James) Malm talk about morality when he is a calendar-confused divorcee who rebelled against HWA but now wants you to go along with everything he makes up?

Who wants to listen to Eric Peasant (King) talk about morality when he obviously gets his prophetic nonsense from watching too much garbage on television?

Philadelphia Church of God Students Training In Adobe Products This Summer For Final Pre-Trib Push?

PCG Facebook

The above is a screen shot of PCG's public Facebook page.  It shows a group of students learning to use various programs of Adobe creative products.  Apparently these kids are being training for the "final push" as the tribulation is just a few clicks away. 

Only in Armstrongism can a person link computer training to the tribulation.  If the tribulation does hit as they claim, none of those kids or anyone else is going to be sitting at a computer  working on Photoshop or Illustrator.  Unless of course, Gerald Flurry has conned the Jordanian government into installing electricity and computer banks in Petra so they can all work from there.

LCG ministers, acting with LOVE, kick out members so they can join forces with Satan

If you are a member of the Living Church of God and you QUESTION something, are you allowed freedom to question and NOT be attacked and kicked out?  Is there room for free thinking in the LCG?  Reading the "duties" of the LCG overlords it appears that questioning is NOT something that they feel member should be doing.  Those that question are turned over to Satan.  Rod Meredith and the LCG ministry want you LCG members to know that when they kick you out and treat you like vermin, they are doing it out of LOVE!

The Fundamental Purposes for Ministerial Authority Are: 

1.  For the preservation of unity (Acts 15; 1 Corinthians 1:10; and 2 Corinthians 13:10).  Unity is imperative if the Church is to function as one body.  Singularity of objectives is the fruit of unity. 

2.  To protect the flock from “wolves” and the willfully disobedient (2 Thessalonians 3:6, 1014; Hebrews 13:17).  At first glance it may seem like a horrible act to commit a person to Satan.  However, in the end this act produces a more stable and re-dedicated Christian (1 Corinthians 5:5).  In no way should this be construed as a hostile act.  When viewed as an action of concern for the welfare of the person, it becomes an expression of love. 

3.  Binding and Loosing (Matthew 16:19).  Judicial decisions must be made on unclear matters.  Christ gave His ministers authority to decide on issues within God’s framework of law.

Living Church of God is all about L-O-V-E!    But that LOVE should never be heavy handed....cough....cough...

Precautions to Keep in Mind When Exercising Ministerial Authority: 

Exercise of authority must be motivated by love.  Without love as the primary motive there is no way to use authority with justice within the Church community.  The exercise of authority must never be taken lightly.  Benefits derived from exercising authority in love are manifold.  Severe and serious detriment will stem from the unjust, selfish and irresponsible use of authority.  There are serious consequences for authority abuses (Ezekiel 34:2-6).  A good rule of thumb is to use the least amount of authority necessary to do the job.  Heavy authoritarianism is not required for people who have a heart for God’s ways.  LCG Pastors Manuel pg 311-312

How many LCG ministers, elders, department heads and evangelists put the following guidelines into practice?   When has the LCG minister ever NOT overreacted?   Its all about SUBMISSION which basically means that whenever a minister tell you something to do, even though you know it to be wrong, you are under his authority and MUST do it.  Its a test from God to see how well you submit to authority.  The law is written on LCG members hearts, but NOTHING is written there concerning Jesus.  No grace, nothing.

Since abuse of authority is destructive, we must not over-react and go to the opposite extreme.  We should seek to understand more of the mind of God as shown by scripture.  “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven,” said Solomon.  One could say the spiritual application is, “There is a time to exercise authority, but you must use love all the time.”   A Christian voluntarily places himself under Christ and the authority of the Church.  In this age submission to authority is a rare thing.  Submission by members of God’s true Church represents clear evidence the Laws of God are being written in the hearts of men!  Truly converted Christians are far more submissive to God’s Laws and authority than carnal-minded man.  The Apostle Paul wrote some governmental guidelines to the Church at Corinth in dealing with serious conflicts in the Church, (2 Corinthians 3:3-6).    We cannot judge the heart of man—but we may judge the fruit.  The Pastor should always pray for discernment in these matters since God alone knows the heart (Isaiah 11:2-3 and Jeremiah 17:10).  LCG Pastors Manuel pg 311-312 

In order for an LCG minister to be a fair judge and arbitrator of the law, he must meet these expectations......of which every single LCG minister seems to have FAILED!

Guidelines for Exercising Church Discipline and Authority  (Handout 3.4) 

To exercise ecclesiastical authority properly and effectively, a minister:

• Must BE MOTIVATED BY LOVE.

• Must be ABOVE REPROACH in his personal conduct.

• Must have INSPIRED the flock to follow the RIGHT WAY by means of his personal EXAMPLE and PREACHING.

• Must be FAIR in judgment and in NO way a RESPECTER of persons.

• Must be CONSISTENT in the use of authority and BALANCED in frequency of its use.

• Must ensure that the degree of severity is suited to the seriousness of the infraction of God’s  Laws (1 Corinthians 5:1-4).  LCG Pastors Manuel pg 311-312

LCG ministers and HQ's treatment of members seems ot be slash and burn mentality.  Jump to conclusions and kick them out allowing no recourse.
