Why Do COG Ministers Preach About So Many Silly Topics?

I had a news alert today regarding Almost Arrested Elisha Elijah Joshua Amos Doubly-Blessed Chief Overseer Bob Thiel. It was about his latest online sermon. Poltergeists and Lying Wonders.

Who sits around and thinks about poltergeists day and and day out?  Who really cares about levitating chihuahua's in Scotland?

Here are other things that he thinks occupies peoples minds continually.  You will notice how fear based it all is.  Demons, government conspiracies, illuminati, rouge planets, and the collapse of the dollar...where would the church be without such fearful things to worry about?

• 10 Reasons Not to Vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton
• Chinese threats against Australia for real?
• Hillary Clinton, Theresa May, and Isaiah 3
• Could the Large Hadron Collider lead to destruction?
• Germany ready for military leadership?
• America's Day of Reckoning 2017 Dollar Collapse?
• Forbes' Brexit Monster is the Beast of Revelation
• Post Brexit Prophecy
• Can the Bilderberg Group Affect 2017 and Beyond?
• Is the Universe Expanding or about to Catastrophically Collapse?
• Planet Nibiru to Destroy Earth by 2017?
• USA pushing gender confusion
• Eliminate the $100 bill?

Thiel has also come up with a new gimmick in order to make him look like the biblical "authority" he foolishly believes he is.  Hold up your big thick bible and shake it at the camera and people will know you mean business!

The self appointed lying wonder Thiel is not alone in his fear based topics and embarrassment of Jesus.  Here is Gerald Flurry's latest topics.  Jesus is not even a consideration.  Much of Flurry's articles are militaristic, about old testament "hero's", and loyalty to church government.

• How Secure Is Your Outpost? Paul called true Christians good soldiers for Christ. Are you? Or is Satan ready to take you captive?
• By the Waters of Babylon Psalm 137 paints a terrifying prophetic picture of a tragedy about to befall a great many of God’s people.
• How Not to Be Deceived Christ’s greatest warning to this world is found in Matthew 24. What makes it 
the greatest? It addresses the world’s greatest deception! 
• Improve Your Memory Five practical ways to strengthen a mental muscle that is critical to your salvation.
• A Law of History Learning lessons from great leaders of the past is critical to national well-being.
• Moses: King, Prophet, Priest Get ready to rule like Moses.
• Moses: A Man For All Christians
• The Significance of the Hezekiah Bulla
• You Have an Office in God’s House God is preparing an incredible future position for you
• The Palm Tree and You
• End-time Mighty MenStudying the works of David
• Jeremiah’s Vital Lesson in Faith God had to teach His prophet, and us, a profound lesson

Armstrongism is fear based to the core.  Grace, mercy, peace, justice and redemption are not part of the church make up.  Showing kindness to ones neighbor, deliver food to the hungry, helping the needy and being agents of comfort to the hurting are not part of their church plan.  Who needs the words of Jesus when Moses, Jeremiah and Elisha are more important.

When Thiel talks about lying wonders, he perfectly describes himself, Malm, Pack, Flurry, Meredith and the rest of the corrupt church leaders.

Powerful, Knowledgeable Women Are Not Welcome Nor Are Pesky Kids

Armstrongism has always had an issue with strong women.  Highly educated women were not the ideal for Ambassador College or the church.  Women were to be subservient to all men.  Women came to Ambassador with the assumption they would marry ministerial candidates at graduation and head off to serve in a field church planning potlucks and sewing circles.  Forget ever leading a bible study with other women!

Tom Mahon has been on rant for several years now on how awful he sees the the state of the church that it is in all because of "hireling" ministers.  He has the true answers to set the church back on track.  Just like Malm and Thiel.

He also is getting tired of rebellious children and wild women ruling men.  Women must know their place and children seen, but not heard.

The prophet Isaiah was inspired to write: "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them"(Isa.3:12). He wasn't inspired to write that as a blessing to the nation but a curse. Today, unless all people have been struck by supernatural blindness, they cannot fail to see that a generation of young people have arisen, who cannot keep their own property nor allow others to keep theirs, and who have abandon all sense of decency and good behaviour. So, children indeed have become the oppressors of the elderly, who are afraid to go out day or night.

The prophet goes on to say: "and women rule over them." That prophecy has also been fulfilled. For today, in almost every home on earth, women rule over men; and that is shockingly true even in so-called Christian homes, where the wife is commanded by God to be obedient to her husband. But when we turn to the media and politics, we see women dominating TV and radio, pontificating lots of vacuous opinions, and running for the high office of president and Prime Minister, Yet, the Apostle Paul, lovely called by his Lord and master, "A Chosen Vessel," was inspired to write:"I suffer not( that is, I permit not) a women to teach, nor usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence"(1 Tim.2:12). Then he added: "For Adam was first form, then Eve." The narrative continues thus: "And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression."  

What does that mean? It means that women are more susceptible to deception than men, and therefore should not be in authority. Yet, In Pentecostal, Baptist and other false churches, women are permitted to teach and exercise authority over men, despite the fact that God forbids it. Now we have babes ruling countries or aspiring to high office. And God allowed this because the world has turned away from him. The Oppression of Children and the Rule of Women.
