Living Church of God: Hey, Look At Us! Who would have thought?

 

Now we know where the Great Bwana Mzungu Bob gets his braggadocio from, the Living Church of God.

Both of these groups can take a minuscule number of people and turn it into the most amazing thing the church ever seen. 

Here is LCG bragging about how in two recent Tomorrows World Presentations in a Canadian and a UK city brought in a combined total of 33 people. Subtract from that the 15-20 LCG members at each location that are used a seat fillers and you get an idea of the amazing work LCG is doing. 

Tomorrow’s World Presentations in Canada and the United Kingdom
The Work of God is not limited to just the United States—not by a long shot! Last weekend, two TWPs in Canada and the United Kingdom drew a combined total of 33 guests. This weekend we will host a follow-up presentation in Manchester, England, and four initial presentations in Canada—Lethbridge and Medicine Hat, Alberta; and St. Catharines and Guelph, Ontario. Your prayers are appreciated!

"Would God do this? He would. He would slaughter babies and behead them and do things so horrific I would almost think the Devil couldn't think of it."

"Do you want to know my feelings about what's happening to the Jews, since I'm descended from David,  I guess I"m allowed to have a feeling..."

"I'm enraged!!!

I want some people to get dead..."

Don't let this mind be in you that is in David C Pack

UPDATED: Monte Wolverton: Newspaper apologizes for publishing his "highly insensitive" drawing

 

UPDATE at end. Monte apologizes

Unlike his father Basil Wolverton, Monte has jumped with both feet into the political quagmire of American politics over the last several years.  While his father had his own unique version of subversiveness, Wolverton wears his on his sleeve. 

Wolverton is also an associate editor of The Plain Truth, Greg Albrecht's version of the old Worldwide Church of God publication.

The article says:

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA: The Philadelphia Inquirer has issued a public apology after publishing cartoonist Monte Wolverton's "highly insensitive" illustration that pushed "antisemitic tropes" and criticized Israel's response to the Hamas' deadly attack.

The editorial board for the big city paper put out a piece on October 18, 2023, admitting that Wolveton's cartoon "should never have been published".

Wolverton has been producing drawings syndicated by Caglecartoons for the last 25 years. He is best known for his satiric pages in Mad, his Weekly Wolvertoon website, and his contributions as an associate editor of The Plain Truth.

Later in the article, it says:

Following the outcry, the Philadelphia Inquirer released a groveling apology, stating, "In hindsight, the cartoon depicting an oversized Israeli military boot stepping on Hamas terrorists hiding among civilians in response to the Oct. 7 attack should not have been published."

"Regardless of the interpretation, the illustration reinforces pernicious anti-Semitic tropes about Israeli aggression," the apology continued.

It further added that the board had voiced an "unequivocal belief" that Israel should be allowed to defend itself and had denounced the terrorist assaults days after they had taken place.

"It is clear this cartoon was highly insensitive, particularly at the current moment when antisemitism is on the rise. We hear the outcry and apologize for the pain it caused," the statement added.

The board also pledged to review its processes for illustration selection "to prevent failures like this one from occurring again." 

Twitter also erupted in fury:

 

The American version of The Daily Mail from the UK also ran a story:

Philadelphia newspaper apologizes for 'highly insensitive' cartoon criticizing Israel's response to Hamas' terrorist attack that killed 1,400 people

It never seems to fail that when there is some disaster there is a Church of God connection somewhere down the line.

UPDATE

Monte issued an apology on X/Twitter

I deeply apologize for my recent cartoon depicting an Israeli combat boot poised to crush Hamas. I had intended to show Israel was soon to stomp out Hamas terrorists, but my insensitive choice of imagery effectively cast Israel as a villain. I now realize this caused pain for…
