Exposing the underbelly of Armstrongism in all of its wacky glory! Nothing you read here is made up. What you read here is the up to date face of Herbert W Armstrong's legacy. It's the gritty and dirty behind the scenes look at Armstrongism as you have never seen it before!
With all the new crazy self-appointed Chief Overseers, Apostles, Prophets, Pharisees, legalists, and outright liars leading various Churches of God today, it is important to hold these agents of deception accountable.
Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web of Corrupt Leaders
Rod Meredith and others love to proclaim they have a forceful message that is important to get out to the world. They claim to be a bold witness for truth's lost to the world. They and only they have the true words of God to call to task the evil world they live in. From Rod Merdith warning about your gay neighbors, unisex bathrooms and rampaging Chinese/German/Muslim hoards, to Jimmy Meredith preaching at the annual Christmas party, these great messages can no longer be heard online without giving LCG your name and getting a password so you can listen. Gerald Weston has laid down more laws as he rises in power. He and only he was will approve which messages the unwashed masses can listen to online.
Live broadcasts are no longer open for anyone to view.
David Good’s service for COGWA - which allows non-members to request a password to view live Sabbath and holy day services - has been discontinued by LCG. Only recorded sermons that have been authorized by Gerald Weston will now available.
Roderick Meredith will of course decide if the livestrem service on Christmas Eve during the Family Weekend festival is to be open to everyone, as it was last year. COG News
Any church that claims to be presenting a witness to the world does NOT hide their sermons and articles behind password protects. LCG needs to do this because Rod Meredith, Gerald Weston, Richard Ames and others says stupid things.
It has nothing to do with the "milk and meat" nonsense that the church has always used. Babes to the "truth" don't need milk sermons anymore than regular members need "meat" sermons.
If prospective members actually knew what LCG preached they would run the other direction. After publicly being shamed by Meredith's sermon contributing to the Milwaukee murders, LCG knows it can't afford to the have sermons freely up online for the public to listen to. Boasting that your message is BOLD and a WITNESS TO THE WORLD is a lie when you hide behind firewalls. The gospel is free to anyone who wants to listen and cannot be thwarted by embarrassed men hiding behind passwords to protect their uninspiring, legalistic, and graceless messages.
Everything felon Ron Weinland has said over the last decade has been a complete lie. Along with his money grubbing mentally ill second witness wife and his money laundering son and daughter, he is right now trotting around Europe on the dime of his few remaining members.
Sadly Weinland is not unique to the sick men that the Church of God has produced over the last 80 some years. Look at Gerald Flurry, Dave Pack, Bob Thiel, James Malm, Rod Meredith and all the other men leading COG's around the world. They have all self-appointed themselves as arbitrators of Godly wisdom, of which they are all bankrupt in.

There is always the possibility that I am wrong. That is reality. I don’ believe it for a moment! (snicker)
But, I’m not haughty and arrogant enough to believe that I am without capability
of being wrong and deceived. And I have been and will continue to act upon what
I believe to be true and not upon the “if’s” and possibilities of being
wrong. How can one function that way?
12/29/07
You know, one of things as well, what if Ron Weinland and
what he says does not come to pass in April and what if these things don’t happen
in 2008? There is really a simple answer.
I’m a false prophet. I get tons of email. I get email every day from people saying, “Well
I guess in 2009, a lot of sarcasm comes out, I guess you will be saying this
and saying that trying to explain to people.
No I’m done! I will end being a
minister. I will end being a prophet.

We have one more Passover.
Possibly two more Feasts. Depends
on a period of six months to one year here and everything is going to come
unloosed on this world. Do you
understand how close we are?
7/1/06 That’s why I’ve tried to say some things and in one respect
it should be a little shocking to us. Like I said last Sabbath. I’ll not be
your pastor in a little over two years from now. Because you won’t have ANY
PASTOR! (shouting) to lead, guide and
direct you to teach you Sabbath by Sabbath, holy day to holy days. Like I said from 2008, I’m not planning on hosting
a Feast of Tabernacles. I’m not going to
rent a building. I’m not going to sign a
contract.
7/8/06
How’s that honor God? How does that please God and what kind
of patience has he shown us. To know you only have two years left or less.
Still come before God in Sabbath services
7/22/06 Its not a real comfortable spot to be in. Just to be real candid
with all of you. To set everything on the line and say I will not be your
pastor. There will be about a two-year
period after the book is published, after it’s out there. You won’t have any
pastors. You won’t have the ability to do the things you are doing today.
9/23/06 You don't know where you are going to be because you are not
going to have any control over it. We are
not going to have the freedom to get out there in the car and go where ewe want
in that last 3 ½ years. You know just have the freedom of movement where you would
like to be. You will have people to
report to. They will be over you. Europe
will be over us as far the nation is concerned here. They are the ones to do the conquering, to set
up and take control fi you will of government and any movement that happens. We
will be here for their bidding and pleasing with whatever they want us to do.
10/07/06 We understand we are fast approaching a period of time, a 3 ½
year period where we will not be able to meet like this in a fine hotel and
fellowship, having food and in halls like this and come together as God’s people
to worship our God.
11/04/06 If you really believe that in a year and half from now this country
is not going to be this country.
1/03/07
Like I said I feel sorry for young people because I can’t
imagine having these kind of stresses upon you being told that there is basically
a year left of perpetration for you, a year and half maximum and all you know
what is gonna break loose, so to speak out here. Maximum one year and half, that you have in
your life. That means you don’t have to
worry about going to to college after that.
You don't have to worry about your job after that. There’s a lot of things you wont have to
worry about, but you will have other worries.
You can’t plan ahead anymore.
3/03/07
When I make a statement that there will be no president
taking office in 2009, because that’s when they take office in January 2009, you
know they can go in and maybe start some elections, we are already starting
some now, oh you think that's a fun thing. Starting earlier and earlier all the
time. People declaring presidency, you know. And I think No you are not going
to take office! I have to do that.
5/5/07
Please understand having special things happen to you,
visions, dreams, other things of other natures, it did not come from God! Use wisely the remaining time you have to
seek God because when the 3 ½ years of final tribulation begins those freedoms will
come to an end till the day Jesus Christ has returned.
9/28/07
Can you imagine when you are being preached to, when you are
being spoken to by the God family Elohim, because that’s the next Feast of Tabernacles
when Jesus Christ returns. All of this
earth
7/12/08
I know there has been some anxiousness, a little bit of
anxiety on some people’s parts, when all the sudden, oh you know we have some
more time and we could have had a Feast of tabernacles. Well that as decided last Feast of tabernacles
we would not have a normal feast of tabernacles. There will be a Fest of Tabernacles every year
from here on out.
10/27/07
There is coming the end time tribulation of massive destruction
and war. These things begin next year
and are finished by the fall of 2011.
12/01/07
There is coming a time here when you will not have the freedom
to go and search the internet, you wont have the freedom to go and listen to sermons
online, you are not going to have the freedoms and opportunities that you have
right now. Yu only have a few months left
to do these things.
3/29/08
If by Pentecost that it is not powerfully clear and
abundantly clear that there has been a great deal of destruction that will encompass
a 1/3 of all plant life in the US and at least the clear results of this
mingled with blood, the death of very much animal life and the beginning of
death of human life, I WILL STIOP PREACHING!
Just so all the critics and everyone else out there will under stand, I
AM TRUE TO MY WORD in these things. If
for all the critics, if by the end of July, and most likely by Pentecost, if nothing
has caused death I will make it very clear I am a false prophet. When we are told a third of all plant life
will be destroyed, that is exactly what it means.
5/23/09
Is this really going to happen? Is he really a prophet of God? Is he really the end time witness? YES, I AM! (shouting)
Living Church of God just cannot seem to keep trouble away from its doorstep. Apparently LCG members are receiving emails and contacts on Facebook for donations and some gullible church members are sending these people money. A lot of it is coming from Africa and other poor countries. They see dumb white Americans as a money source, much like what is happening to Almost Arrested Elisha Amos Elijah Joshua Thiel. He is a money stream for people who will jump on to other groups when the money stops.
LCG needs to prevent this as it cuts into their money stream.
Requests for Money via E-mail and Social Media—Must Read From time to time, brethren are contacted via e-mail or social media (including Facebook) by individuals claiming to be part of the Church, often overseas, asking for financial help. If you receive such a request, please exercise extreme caution, as most such messages are scams sent by people trying to get money under false pretenses. You would be wise not to send money based on e-mail or social media contact. And remember, the person contacting you may be impersonating someone you know. Please respond by referring any such contact to that person’s local Living Church of God pastor (or Headquarters if you don’t know who their pastor is). If there is a genuine need, their pastor will be in a better position to address it.
