Living Church of God Launches New Stealth Web Site That Obscures The Fact They Are Behind It




The manipulation and deception of the Living Church of God continues to roll on.  LCG recently launched a new web site that supposedly exposes the truth on what real doctrines are compared the traditions that many believe.  That web site is called:  The Bible Says THAT?
What you have been taught… might not actually be in the Bible.

LCG is constantly being stung by the fact it still holds unbreakable ties to Herbert Armstrong and his doctrines.  Plus, the cultish worship of Rod Meredith is off putting to most people too.  As they drop hundreds of thousands of dollars on seminars and campaigns, people quickly fade away once they know the ties the LCG has to Armstrongism.  It seems like everything LCG touches anymore is a failure.

Even weirder is their DO NOT DONATE link where they say this:



In Matthew 10:8, Jesus Christ says: “Freely you have received, freely give.” Please share this website with your friends and family. They may think you are crazy, but have fun with it and remember: “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” (1 Thess. 5:21KJV). 
TheBibleSaysThat.com is part of our outreach to proclaim the gospel of the coming Kingdom of God to all the world as well as to teach and make disciples using the Bible as the supreme authority. For many followers of the Word of God, restoring original Christianity begins with “unlearning” misguided traditions and concepts that are not found in the Bible. We hope this website will help with that. 
Test everything you read here, and don’t just take our word for it. Feel free to write to us or comment on the website. This website and all of its resources are provided free of charge by the Living Church of God, which has ministers and congregations throughout much of the world.

What they fail to point out is that once you join up you will be subjected to 30% in tithes, numerous offerings, building funds, tithe of the tithe, and incessant financial appeals to support the final push so the end times can get here.

Then they have the gall to also ask people to share it with their friend and family and "have fun" doing it.  They are right about one thing though, people WILL think they are crazy!

There is NOTHING "free" about the Living Church of God!

True Christianity begins the moment LCG members start unlearning the teachings of Herbert W Armstrong and the Church of God!

Philadelphia Church of God: Things to do on a date...



Life on the Edmond cult compound must be boring as hell at times when it comes to dating.  Where are they going to go other than the barn yard, the nearby fields or the Armstrong Auditorium for Bible Study.  Maybe some celtic dancing, too.

At least those who attended Pasadena could walk into Pasadena or to numerous restaurants nearby.  Not so much with the Edmond compound crowd.  It's not kosher to mix with the unwashed heathens of the world unless Flurry and crew have courted them for their money for the concert series.





Especially for turnabout or more formal occasions, you can add some cheer by creatively requesting the pleasure of their company via:
  • Presenting her a punny poster: (e.g. draw a music staff and start your message with, “I’ve been thinking of a clef-er way to ask you …”).
  • Placing a note in a balloon with confetti and asking the recipient to pop it.
  • Writing it in sidewalk chalk. (If the date is long-distance, take a photo and e-mail it.)
  • Giving him a hammer and a note in a small block of ice that says, “Now that the ice is broken, will you be my turnabout date?”

Speaking from experience
Here are some tips from singles on how to have a great dating experience.
  • Step out of your comfort zone.
  • Be mindful of your date’s schedule, and be willing to be flexible.
  • Sometimes less is more.
  • Keep the group smaller. This makes it more of a date and less of a party.
  • Embrace whatever activity you are participating in.
  • Don’t overthink it: It’s purpose is just to serve and get to know each other better.
