PCG: Another Young Person Dies Due To Abhorrent Church Doctrines

This is the disgusting legacy that the Church of God movement will always have tarnishing its already sick reputation when it comes to the use of medical help. The needless loss of life of hundreds, if not thousands of people over the decades due to the aberrant teachings of Herbert Armstrong and his illegitimate progeny lording themselves of today's splinter groups regarding the use of the medical profession is appalling. Sadly, it is always the members who suffer and never the leadership or the ministry since they all tend to make regular use of doctors.

Teen-Age Girl in PCG Dies:
April 14, 2024
I was devastated to hear about Kaitlyn Michelle Davis, the 19 year old unbaptized girl in PCG from North Carolina, who died of health issues. She evidently did not go see a doctor. She had struggled with health issues for several years and which gradually worsened. Finally her health took a “sudden turn for the worse” After “counseling” with the ministry, she decided she “wanted her life totally in God’s hands” and so she put her faith in God to heal her. Her health deteriorated and her pain became severe until she eventually died last October. The funeral service was held by Wik Heerma. She leaves behind a mother and two younger sisters. I wish these Armstrong cults that are scamming, deceiving and causing people’s lives to be cut short would be investigated and shut down! –[name withheld] Exit and Support Network

Crackpot Prophet On Loving His Enemies

 The Church of God way...

The Great Bwana to Africa shares with his 100 Caucasians and African followers how to love their (his) 'enemies'. After all, since he is God's greatest Church of God prophet and teacher to ever exist, he must set the example.

Mercy: Loving your enemies

On the ‘Sermon on the Mount,’ Jesus taught His followers to love their enemies. Can you do that? Why should you? How can you do that? Should you pray for your enemies and do good to them? Can you forgive someone who is not sorry? How can you show mercy to those who hate you? Is God really fair? Why did God allow Adolf Hitler? Will all reap what we sow according to the Apostle Paul? Can your physical and spiritual health be affected by the root of bitterness? Can a little leaven of bitterness hurt you a lot? Are Christians really supposed to control their thoughts? What are some health problems associated with being unwilling to forgive others? Could any of your enemies actually be above you in the Kingdom of God? Could your enemies actually be blinded by Satan and his demons? Did God call you because you were better than others? Have we all be enemies to God? Did Herbert W. Armstrong teach it was difficult to forgive those who intentionally want to cause us harm? What are some passages in the Bible about love, mercy, judgment, faith, and forgiveness? Are Christians actually supposed to strive to be perfect? Could your enemies, after the age to come, actually help make your eternity better? Dr. Thiel addresses those matters and more in this sermon.
