Philadelphia Church of God Wastes Tens of Thousands of Dollars of Widow's Tithe Money on New Fake Waterfall

A "retrospective" of a new waterfall on the PCG cult compound

You know it's a Church of God if they have to start building waterfalls, streams and fountains on their church headquarters properties in order to imitate Herbert's campus in Pasadena.  From Gerald Flurry to Dave Pack, these men cannot seem to come up with an original idea in their confused narcissistic little  minds.

Gerald Flurry has recently dropped tens of thousands of dollars in widow's mites to build another fake decoration on his campus.  A fake waterfall on a fake hill surrounded by new growth trees planted to give the impression they have been there all along.  That's pretty symbolic of a group of people trying to be Jewish while pretending to be Christians.

The three-tiered water feature consists of 40 tons of rock and forms the centerpiece of an artificial hill topped by trees, plants, flowers, walking paths and benches. At night, the water and rocks are illuminated by spotlights that periodically change color. The church’s landscaping and maintenance departments built the waterfall over the course of 14 months, and its three pumps gushed forth for the first time in September.

Forty tons of rocks hauled in to build a fake waterfall that took fourteen months to build.  It utilized numerous employees which added to the cost.  Spending money is never an issue when God's holy and mighty apostle wants something.  Let the members eat bread and go without electricity while money is wasted upon extravagance and Irish dance lessons for the Pastor Generals grandchildren. Its just another day in COG land folks, just move on.

I do have to admit that this waterfall will probably look pretty good in 10-15 years as a back drop to a condo complex swimming pool area after PCG goes bankrupt.

HuffPo Article (COG Related): When You Feel Frozen and Alone In Church

Here is an interesting article in Sunday's  Huffington Post

"Yes. When I was young, I learned to act grown-up and self-contained in church, the same as others."

Growing up, I attended The Worldwide Church of God (WCG). The WCG was a cult, characterized by exclusivity, secrecy, and an authoritarian culture. There was lots of emphasis on conformity, and very little room for individuality.

"So now ... I'm trying to be authentic and the same as," I said. "And I just end up feeling lost."
Until that day, I didn't realize how much of my identity was wrapped up in spiritual achievement.
As a girl, I'd filled out every Bible lesson book. I was the first of my friends to be baptized. I never missed devotionals, and I served in various leadership roles.

In other words, "Hi, my name is Caroline, and I'm a religious performance addict."
