If you do not believe in church government then you deny Christ and are an antichrist!

 

Remember this crap?

“The one and only place in the world where the government of God is being administered is in the Worldwide Church of God. I have said to you that the thing uppermost in God's mind is restoring the government of God by and through the Kingdom of God on this earth. God has placed that government in His Church. This is a government based on LOVE. Some don't believe in it and are fighting it. I need you to be 100 percent back of me in it.

Was there ever a more corrupt and spiritually damaging group than the WCG? Abuse of power and spiritual abuse was rampant in a church that claimed it was exclusively God's. Abusive ministers, sexual predators, stalkers, who were power hungry to lord it over members. The WCG was certainly NOT a foretaste of the Kingdom.

“Every day now we are one day closer to GLORY! Time is running out on us. There are WONDERFUL THINGS ahead for us, but we must sacrifice, be faithful, and ENDURE now!” I have shown you how this Church came to believe what it believes. And how those precious beliefs were put into this Worldwide Church of God, by Christ through me. I have shown you HOW IT WAS FOUNDED. God says His Church is founded on the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone. Not only the original twelve apostles and Paul, but He used His one apostle for this twentieth century in founding this Philadelphia era of His Church.”(End Quote)

Are you ASHAMED of Jesus Christ? The current Philadelphia Era, is the Worldwide Church of God. It is THE ONE AND ONLY CHURCH OF GOD. To teach others to NOT refer to it as the Worldwide Church of God, is BETRAYAL. You are undermining what the apostle of Jesus Christ has faithfully said in the name of Jesus Christ.

Who can forget HWA talking about a "strong hand from someplace" instead of mentioning Jesus? 

Jesus Christ does not need TRAITORS, and if any supposed minister is teaching people to only refer to the Church of God in this Philadelphia era, as “Church of God”, and does no longer wish to associate with “the Worldwide Church of God” he took the steps away into darkness and only serves his belly. He does not serve Jesus Christ, but is rather ASHAMED of Jesus Christ. Shame on him!

The Church of God today, has been officially organized by Jesus Christ, through His chosen apostle Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong! Those of the Church, of the Body of Jesus Christ, all speak the same thing which comes through the apostle! ANY TINY STEP AWAY FROM THIS TRUTH IS REJECTED!

Of all the things to have lock you out of the Kingdom of God! Jesus Christ will say I NEVER KNEW YOU.

Rather men, repent, and obey God. DO NOT BE ASHAMED OF JESUS CHRIST! This isn't YOUR CHURCH! It is the Church of God! And God, through His Son Jesus Christ, raised up an apostle, and has ORGANIZED HIS CHURCH AS HE SEES FIT! He organized it into the Worldwide Church of God. This is the Philadelphia Era of the Church of God.

Want to be something else? THEN GO, and BE ABORTED and go into the lake of fire! The life-span of being SEPARATED FROM THE BODY is but a puff of smoke.

Jesus Christ is HEAD of the Worldwide Church of God. Don't like how it was organized into the Worldwide Church of God? Then you don't agree with Jesus Christ and God and are antichrist. THAT OUGHT TO SHAKE YOU AND MAKE YOU TREMBLE! THIS COULD BE YOUR LAST CHANCE! There won't be a second chance if we get this wrong! HWA quotes and Samuel Kitchen

Everyone was always doing something wrong. The church was unfit all of the time to be a beneficiary of the grace of Jesus. The focus is always on something other than grace or God forbid, Jesus.

After leaving the church has the fear of losing your salvation or being too worldly crippled you with fear?

Fear of Being Worldly? 

Has This Crippled You?

 

Since Leaving WWCOG - Melina Oine made a hard decision, when it was almost too late to do it that she would GO BACK TO SCHOOL (College) and BECOME A HEALTH ADVOCATE! None of it made any sense at the time considering her circumstances, her upbringing and especially WWCOG ability to keep woman from becoming much of anything but a homemaker. She put one foot in front of the other doubting herself much of the time - but with much love and support - she GRADUATED with a MASTERS Degree in Health Advocacy a week ago! Congratulations Melina and congratulations for overcoming the programming about how woman are not meant to succeed - let alone men for fear that this is worldly! What do you think about this? Do we need to experience success and a sense of accomplishment and the building of a certain sense of self with a bit of self-esteem to keep you confident and strong? We say YES! Armstrong used this tool to keep us all under his thumb of control along with his Leaders and Ministers. 

About Melina Oine. Melina was born and raised in the WWCOG. Her family officially got out in the mid 90's shortly after Tkach Jr. took on the mantle when Melina was 17. Melina actually almost completely stopped attending around the age of 15-16. In her earlier years, Melina attended services in Anchorage Alaska until about 1985. At that point, her family moved to Honolulu, Hawaii where Melina lived until she was married at age 18 to a Navy Marine. They had 3 children together About 12 years later, her daughter was diagnosed with a life threatening disease which landed her in and out of emergency rooms and hospitals and soon after, Melina herself was diagnosed with an auto-immune condition that she was now also dealing with at the same time and started therapy. That pushed her to look at her past and current traumas. She discovered that the conditioning from childhood had predisposed her to being involved in a dysfunctional and traumatic marriage and learning this, she was eventually at a point where she was able to leave the marriage. 

Melina recently moved to South-East Washington state where she now lives with her daughter and where she also has recently become board certified (BCPA) as an Independent Patient Advocate and now has just received her Masters in Health Advocacy!

Brian Orchard/Father's Call: The splinter group everyone has forgotten about...

 

Brian Orchard, you remember him, right? Most today will say, who? Many thought he was no longer alive. He has the distinction of leading three different insurrections in the church, WCG to UCG, UCG to David Hulme, and David Hulme to Father's Call. 

Never has a COG splinter group faded into nothingness quicker than the Father's Call group did. No one hears anything from them anymore and they are just one more pin on the bulletin board of splinter churches.

Like so many other men before him. he thought he knew better how to do things and led an insurrection against David Hulme starting in late 2013. A large group of Hulme's ministers walked out. 

Brian Orchard, Peter Nathan, Matt King, Bill Hutchison, Bob Rodzaj, Cliff Veal, Marshall Stiver, Stephen Elliott, Steve Andrews, and Ted Budge, are just a few of the ministers who rebelled against Hulme.

A member from Australia had this to say about Orchard:

Brian Orchard may get an invitation to become the goalie for the Australian national ice hockey team. He has mastered the splits! First, years ago, with a behind-the-scenes campaign that led to WCG Australian Regional Director Dean Wilson being ousted and then Brian and his co-conspirators disciplined, with a split ministry in Australia that took years to heal. Then Brian participated, albeit as part of a larger movement, in the UCG split from WCG. Then Brian honed his skills developed in the Wilson ouster by helping to foment the 1998 Hulme split from UCG , and now Brian is involved in yet another split! He has truly mastered “the splits” and would likely make a great ice hockey goalie!

Orchard plotted along with Vic Kubik and others while they were employed by the WCG in Pasadena. They met often in the SOG 360 Apartments plotting and scheming their exit from the mother church, but not before they stole member lists and had set up a bank account that funded their ministerial lifestyles when they jumped ship into the United Church of God. 

Then, dissatisfied with the United Church of God, he along with David Hulme and others split off to set David up in the Church of God and International Community. Which turned out to be another meaningless blip on the Church of God splinter group map.

It wasn't long till he was fed up with Hulme's stance on marriage and divorce and British Israelism, so he rebelled again and started the Father's Call splinter.

Once fully ensconced in the Father's Call splinter group, Orchard then preached a sermon about Jesus. No, no that kind of a sermon but one in which he declared that the church talks TOO MUCH about Jesus! 

Mr. Orchard said something that surprised me. He said that in the past the Church of God has focused too much on Christ and not enough on the Father, and that COGFC is trying to put the focus on the Father. It surprised me because I do not think that Mr. Armstrong taught the Church too much emphasis on Christ, rather, when he was alive I thought we were properly focused on the Father. Perhaps Mr. Orchard was speaking of only the past 16 or so years since COGaic formed under Mr. David Hulme. I have not attended that organization enough to know if they were negligent in focusing on the Father. But Mr. Armstrong was not negligent. He focused on the Father, and so did the Church of God when he was alive. I think many or most converted members of the Church of God today in various fellowships put primary focus on the Father, addressing our prayers to the Father for example.

All of these self-appointed saviors of the church, each with their own special message that the rest of the church is supposed to be in need of, have turned out to be one great big fat...
