While church members around the world worried about the time of our eminent fleeing to Petra, Garner Ted and others in Pasadena knew nothing was happening and made fun of it all. The dumb sheep were easy to mock.
I always find it interesting to read COG apologist who will get on their soap boxes and vehemently deny the church ever set dates. Those men are liars, plain and simple.
I have related here before how the ministry int he Dayton, Ohio church revealed a timeline down to the month we would be fleeing. It was at a combined service with Columbus that this all went down. It had to be at a holy day service because we were instructed to arrive back on time for the afternoon service as the doors were to be locked at a certain time and anyone left outside would not be permitted in. This was supposed to prohibit unconverted ears from hearing what was about to go down.
We arrived back and the minister had a large blackboard on stage. He proceeded to map out in detail the timeline for the date for us to flee to Petra, down to the month, the week, then day. My mother copied this down precisely, as she was the one who typed up all the sermons and gave them to the tape library to hand out each week at church.
As the weeks and months went by, my mother crossed each one off. She had posted this inside the kitchen cupboard so that wandering eyes of neighbors, or the police would not see it. I remember her mentioning hiding it from the police. It was a well-known fact that Satan would send the police to try and stop us all from fleeing.
This epic prophetic failure disqualified Herbert Armstrong and every single evangelist, and minister that promoted it. Scripture tells us that all one need to be a false prophet is to have ONE prophecy fail and they are not to be trusted after that.
As we all know by now, in 2018, the Church of God is filled to the brim with lying fools like Weinland, Pack, Flurry, Thiel, Malm, and others who continue to set dates and then have to refigure those dates to fit their epic failures.
20 "But any prophet who fakes it, who claims to speak in my name something I haven't commanded him to say, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die."
21 You may be wondering among yourselves, "How can we tell the difference, whether it was God who spoke or not?" Here's how:
22 If what the prophet spoke in God's name doesn't happen, then obviously God wasn't behind it; the prophet made it up. Forget about him. Deuteronomy 18:20-22
1 God's Message came to me:
2 "Son of man, preach against the prophets of Israel who are making things up out of their own heads and calling it 'prophesying.'
3 God, the Master, pronounces doom on the empty-headed prophets who do their own thing and know nothing of what's going on!
4 Your prophets, Israel, are like jackals scavenging through the ruins.
5 They haven't lifted a finger to repair the defenses of the city and have risked nothing to help Israel stand on God's Day of Judgment.
6 All they do is fantasize comforting illusions and preach lying sermons. They say 'God says . . .' when God hasn't so much as breathed in their direction. And yet they stand around thinking that something they said is going to happen.
7 "Haven't you fantasized sheer nonsense? Aren't your sermons tissues of lies, saying 'God says . . .' when I've done nothing of the kind? Ezekiel 13:1-7
The vermin, the false teachers, the bastardizers of the law, and the self-appointed who have set themselves up as church leaders and prophets have proven to all be liars. None of them deserves to be followed.
But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death. Deuteronomy 18:20-22
