I was going to copy some excerpts of a post recently by Samuel Kitchen regarding HWA's passing on the line of succession to Joeseph Tkach and the subsequent changes in the church. Aaron Dean figures prominently in this as Aaron claims that HE was to be HWA's successor but turned it down.
Sadly, Aaron completed his apostasy from the one true church when he started taking a paycheck from the United Church of God. At that point, it became the duty of the Kitchen family to preserve HWA's writings and church literature pre-1986. Up until now, it has been all online. Samuel is looking now to gather all of the physical books. articles, booklets, and materials the church published from the early 1930s to January 1986. He wants this physical library to be located close to Petra so that once all of the hundreds of splinter groups arrive there before the start of the great tribulation, he can turn over these "truth's to the ministry gathered there.
Seriously, I kid you not...
Hundreds of splinter group leaders all vying for the position to be in charge. Right in the middle of the mix will be the Great Bwana Bob Thiel the Overseer of Africa and 100 Caucasians claiming that he and he alone was appointed by God to be the one true leader in Petra.
What an absolute shitfest this will be!
Aaron Dean, was on the list for evaluation Mr. Armstrong had for the next Pastor General.It had been the men of the ministry, the elders of the Church, who had pushed for a successor to be chosen. This actually mirrored the behavior exhibited by the elders of Israel who demanded a SUCCESSOR to the prophet Samuel. They wanted instead, a King, like the other nations around them.So, God told Samuel to do it. Give to them what they wanted, but warn THEM of the consequences.I think Mr. Armstrong did that with the ministry. He gave them ample warning and teaching, to equip them against the apostasy. But they wanted a successor anyways.So Mr. Armstrong chose leaders of the ministry who had proven to him loyal and faithful men of God and added them to the Advisory Council of Elders.Aaron Dean said Mr. Armstrong went through those men watching them to see who would be the one God wanted to succeed. Like Samuel examining the line of the sons of Jesse. God led Samuel to each man, telling Samuel to not look at the outward appearance.Aaron Dean said Mr. Armstrong went through the Advisory Council of Elders and came to the conclusion that they would not be the man God would use! Aaron Dean was examined, and Mr. Armstrong(according to Aaron Dean) said he was to be the next Pastor General. Aaron Dean claimed to have talked him out of the decision.Joseph TKACH Sr was added to the list during this time, and so Mr. Armstrong went on to the next person to be examined. Joseph TKACH Sr.He was made deputy pastor general, and during his evaluation Mr. Armstrong died.I have a hard time believing Mr. Armstrong chose TKACH.In any case, the decision made was automatic and TKACH Sr was made Pastor General.The only man on the list of evaluation left alive is Aaron Dean.Also, right after his death in May, a dummy corporation in Colorado was resurrected from suspension. In 1983 Mr. Armstrong found that people had incorporated in various states using his name, in order to set up the decision to choose a successor on his death. He ordered Ralph Helge to shut them down! They were. Except for this Colorado corporation sole.Ralph Helge, in May 1986 resurrected it back to life and used that corporation sole until 1991 when a name change was made.This corporation sole said the Advisory Council of Elders was in control of the corporate affairs.Aaron Dean was removed from the Advisory Council of Elders prior to this in 1986.He told me in private email, that perhaps the Colorado corporation was used to reinstate the contract with Stanley Rader.So, without Aaron Dean we would not have had Joseph TKACH Sr in position of Pastor General.He is also the author of the January 10,1986 letter of Mr. Armstrong. Mr. Armstrong could not speak or walk, but squeezed his hand in acknowledgement. It was Aaron Dean who said "the greatest work lies ahead". Not Mr. Armstrong.This was used to justify the creation of new organizations afterwards. Because people thought they had to do a greater work, so they set out to incorporate.Now Mr. Armstrong made Aaron Dean promise he would stand up and speak up against deception and heresy, a warning work. He also said to correct the ministry of they were to depart any.In 2010 he became a paid employee of the UCG.The same year, my family started to warn brethren of the departures these COG group organizations have done, and emphasized the revival and return to what had been originally taught by Mr Armstrong.The warning to the Laodiceans is what has been happening. It is the Philadelphia era and we have people in Laodicean condition trying to do a work of their own.So while Aaron Dean is involved with the UCG house, we have been involved with the WCG house, to keep all materials and publications linked to the WCG, and not with some other church or work.That is why the battle with copyrights etc. We aren't stealing it but preserving it as it was produced.In Zechariah 6 we have a household, Josiah-Hen the son of Zephaniah.The job of God's servant was to enter into that house, to provide crowns to Joshua the High Priest(pictured in Zechariah 3).He was unable to do God's Work, chained by Satan. But God cleans him up and puts him over HIS HOUSE.That is what we look forward to, when the ministry gets cleaned up so they can do their job properly.In this case, the assistant to Zerubbabel was Joshua.The assistant to Mr. Armstrong is Aaron Dean.But God used a source outside of the priesthood (Zerubbabel was of the house of Josiah-Hen the son of Zephaniah).Ezra explains that in chapter 5 I believe and Zechariah 6 shows it is in that house .The job was to preserve, and through Joshua the temple would be finished.Now in Revelation 11, two witnesses are two candlesticks and Laodicea is the finish of the church age.In Zechariah 4 there is one candlestick, with two anointed ones feeding the bowl the golden oil.So if we was to apply Zechariah 6, with church eras in Revelation 11, the finishing of the Temple is by the assistant of Zerubbabel!!! Aaron Dean could be that man.Since he did pass the "counting of lots", as David did.He's just in the state of Zechariah 3. Picked for a job, but unable to do that job as he is now.The job of warning ended with 2010 when Aaron Dean officially received wages from UCG. That seems to be when we picked up and began warning the Church membership from outside of these groups(Rev 3:14-21).We are simply preserving what is needed to hand over to the ministry. Christ is working to clean up the ministry, and that's all.When we announced in Jerusalem last year, that the Worldwide Church of God was meeting in Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles and Holy Days, we put a big ole target on our backs. Satan wanted to find out what was happening and he attacked. God brought us to Petra and our small congregation kept the Fall Holy Days there.God says in Revelation 12, that two wings of an eagle were given to the woman so that she may FLY into "her place". I think God was showing me, that His name was in Petra!That's why I want to focus on establishing a physical rather than digital Worldwide Church of God library. Locked to a location! So no matter what, whoever ends up in the area around Petra, there is a collection of Church publications ready to be used in college work!Today the Church of God is scattered Worldwide! But all of us are going to go to Jerusalem and go to ONE LOCATION. There won't be a need for internet. There won't be a need for computers.God's Church will fly to Her Place. The name of God is placed where God places it! See Malachi 3:16.Last year when we went to Jerusalem, no other COG organization(at least that we could find) had a feast site in the middle east! We was the only one in Petra!I think that's significant. I think my attention has been tuned into this location. So pray for me. But also pray for Mr. Aaron Dean and all the ministry.The book of Malachi is a warning to the ministry from departure from Christ's apostle. They will pay heed brethren. The ministry wasn't raised up for nothing! Give them respect, but most of all give God your prayers for them. They need it.
