COGWA - We Don't Do "Watered Down" - Best Gaslighting Ever!

 

Every time I click on the COGWA home page the above image pops up where they make the hilarious claim they "don't do watered down" religion.

It's pretty hard to water down something that is already watered down and ignores Christ and the New Covenant. Being double apostates and professional Juadizers is not spreading a gospel message.

The "standards" that built the COGWA empire were one of rebellion and deceit, not something that real Christians practice.

These are the same people that meet with Kubik and others to form the United Church of God while still employed by the Worldwide Church of God and while being paid by them to be loyal ministers. We watched as they all came and went from Kubik's South Orange Grove Apts in the months leading up to their rank apostasy. Then, once they had enough numbers in place and guaranteed income, they jumped ship to start UCG, ensuring their comfortable lifestyle continued on.

Then, in another rebellion, they took over half the ministry and members of UCG with them to form the Church of God a Worldwide Association splinter group. The same corrupt men who had a chance to start something new in UCG took the old ways of management and legalism with them to continue on doing what they were comfortable with and what benefited them the most.

Substitute the word "churches" below with "COG's" and you have a perfect description of the COG movement today in 2023.

COGWA and UCG's Slight-of-Hand When Dating Their Existence

 

One of the slickest sleight-of-hand tricks many of the COGs employ is how they date their anniversaries. While most of the major splinter groups started around 1995-1997, they elect to date their existence to the early years of the Worldwide Church of God. 

Many of the more aberrant splinter groups like Restored Church of God, Philadelphia Church of God, Church of God Preaching the Kingdom, and the improperly named "continuing" Church of God believe they are holding true to Herbert Armstrong's teaching in spite of the fact the current doctrinal and public face of these churches are light years different than what Herbert Armstrong envisioned or how the Worldwide Church of God acted. 

The uncomfortable fact that all of these groups ignore is that if they had pulled this crap of starting separate churches they would have been disfellowshipped and marked from day one. None of these groups can make the excuse that if WCG had not changed doctrines then they would not have split off. The men in charge of each of these groups were already causing problems in the Worldwide Church of God where they were ministers. These people are no heroes and none of them have any legticmacy validating their existence. Their ordinations became invalid the second they walked out the door of the mother church, the Worldwide Church of God. Herbert Armstrong would have ensured that, rather swiftly.

Here's something I noticed lately. The various splinters like to claim to be a continuation of WCG, as evidenced by the anniversary celebrations they have. COGWA, for example, doesn't have a 13 year anniversary in 2023, they have a 70 year anniversary.

This kind of sleight-of-hand is not confined to COGWA. Thier mother church, the UCG does the same thing:

 

Bob Thiel Called "Butt Hurt" By 1st Amendment Auditor

 

Poor lil'Bob. The world is out to get the little guy. There is a video running on Facebook of Bwana Bob confronting a 1st Amendment Auditor in front of the superfantabulous world headquarters for the improperly named "continuing" Church of "god" where he peddles his wholistic vitamins and supplements from. The Bob did not like this! Doesn't he look threatening!!!!!!!

The best part about the video is that the auditor calls him Butthurt! It's not only us!  ROTLMAO!
