LCG 2018 Dress Code vs COG 1960 (The Good Old Days)

Above is a picture from 1960 of the Feast of Tabernacles in Big Sandy.  

How dare those men be seen in short sleeve shirts or not wearing a tie!  

Open neck collars, GHASTLY DAYS! 

Women with exposed arms! Lord have mercy!

Yet, the legalistic lords and masters of Living Church of God are demanding that men and women dress according to THEIR expectations.

General Guidelines: In most modern cultures, coats, collared shirts, ties and nice slacks are considered appropriate attire for men on special occasions. This may vary in tropical climates, yet, in all climates there is a distinction between what is appropriate and what is not. 1 Timothy 2:9–10 explains that ladies should dress “in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation.” This does not include the trendy and immodest apparel that is commonplace for many women in our society today: short, tight, form-fitting dresses, necklines displaying cleavage, bare shoulders, backless dresses, belly-baring tops, etc. Our challenge as Christian men and women is to come out of this world (2 Corinthians 6:17) and recapture true values so we can be lights to a world that has lost its way (Matthew 5:14–16). This is especially true as we gather to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles—picturing Christ’s glorious reign on earth!

Philadelphia Church of God's Gerald Flurry Now Claims To Be "Shiloh" And Cannot Be Overturned

First, we had Joseph Smith claiming that Independence, Missouri would be the site of the New Jerusalem where Jesus would return to.  Then we had David C Pack claiming that Jesus was returning to Wadsworth, Ohio when he returns for the THIRD time BEFORE he goes to Jerusalem.  Now we have Gerald Flurry claiming that he is Shiloh, the new Jerusalem, cannot be overturned till Jesus returns.

Can the idiots that run the various Churches of God get any dumber?

Exit and Support has this:

Flurry's Hallucinations:

September 1, 2018 

So Flurry is claiming to be Jewish of the tribe of Judah. Because of Judah in Genesis chapter 49, it was prophesied that the "sceptre shall not depart from Judah." Flurry must also believe he is Shiloh. Shiloh means "whose right it is." The throne of David was to be "overturned, overturned, overturned, and shall be no more (overturned), until he comes (Shiloh) whose right it is." From Ezekiel 21:27. That means from King David's Jerusalem, overturned to Northern Ireland, overturned to Scotland, overturned to London England, and will be no more overturned until Shiloh overturns it to Jerusalem again. But something is wrong because if Flurry hallucinates that he is Shiloh, he has instead overturned it to Edmond, USA. 

So he must hallucinate he is Jesus "the anointed" aka Shiloh, whose right it is, forever and ever. And Jerusalem must now be Edmond, USA. But that is the wrong place. And he did not ride a cherub through the clouds, in his majesty, through the heavens, to our rescue either. 

Time for Philadelphians to get back to the reality of their bibles to program their minds as to the knowledge of God, instead of allowing Flurry to program their minds with his hallucinations to enrich himself thereby. Time all COG mentally deceived realized that a burnt offering would be a crisp $100 note burnt round the edges including portions of the serial number, before offering it. My wife has been burnt monetary wise by Flurry's PCG who promised in writing (we kept the letter) to provide a receipt for honest auditing purposes for monies contributed, but did not, which was poor stewardship on their part. Highly questionable we think. Two years went by, we complained, and they tried to foist the blame on us for not complaining earlier. We thought the loot vanished into the ether. We then realized it had effectively disappeared into the ether. No more of our loot materialized into Flurry's PCG "ether." 

Whenever we paid tithes to COG churches [offshoots], God did not rebuke the devourer in our fruit trees as promised in Malachi 3:11. This is the test for whether or not tithing is being placed in the wrong hands and/or the "ether." So none of them preach that taboo, obviously. Our cups didn't overflow either. Flurry's did! --Peter Holt.

The Red Heifer Has Been Born, Prophecy Comes Alive, Armstrongites Flip Out

The WND, the official news source for many Churches of God is breathlessly reporting that the first red heifer in 2,000 years has been born in Israel.  According to Numbers 19 the red heifer was to be without blemish and is to be sacrificed for the purity of Israel.  This is also a harbinger of the Second Temple being built and their return of the Messiah.

“This is the ritual law that Hashem has commanded: Instruct B’nei Yisrael to bring you a red cow without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which no yoke has been laid. 

This is sure to soon send the two resident self-appointed prophets of idiocy in the Church of God (James Malm and Bob Thiel) as they twist their self-righteous prophetic knickers all in a knot. The two resident Jesus deniers believe this is proof that prophecy is coming alive. The myths of Judaism are just as valid to these two guys as is the Mayan and Catholic myths are.

From James Malm making wild and speculative prophecies over middle East situations and Bob Thiel's self-declaration of prophetic importance as the one an only true prophet to the COG today, the idiocy of their views on world events have no boundaries for rational thinking.

From believing rampaging Muslims will bring about the end times to Fatima and popish predictions as harbingers of the end times, these two guys will manipulate scriptures in order to make themselves look "right." From obscene demands to force people to prostitute themselves to the law to believing there is only one true church active on earth today. Jesus is always cast to the side. Grace and mercy are unknown qualities for men who have turned their backs on the god they claim to follow.
