No other human in the history of the church would ever be of the caliber than what the Great Bwana would possess. No human man would ever be as educated, know more about the Catholic church, nor have the greatest understanding of prophecy. Even St John, as he and others were writing the book of Revelation did not fully understand the hidden things like the Great Bwana would.
That amazing insightful knowledge was revealed to us all once again when the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel rose up in the early 2,000's as God's greatest gift to the church since Jesus. Astounding wisdom has rolled off the velvety lips of the Great Bwana as the entire historical line of church prophecy was to be revealed through him.
Sadly, other Church of God leaders balked at this revealed knowledge and let Satan turn them away from the "truths" that the Great Bwana Bob came to deliver. The most egregious sinners in this matter were the men of the Living Church of God who rejected the Great Bwana en-mass. Stung by this rejection the Great Bwana continues to lash out in fits of rage and anger.
Rod Meredith, his spiritual father in the church turned his back on him. Various other evangelists and church leaders in the Living Church of God also turned their backs on him, many times after puffing up his ego as they smiled and told him all kinds of meaningless platitudes in order to keep his tithes coming.
Lately, after learning that Richard Ames was in the hospital and not expected to live, the Great Bwana made sure everyone knew that Ames was in his prayers. His expectation was that if Ames would repent of his rejection of the Great Bwana that God would heal him for some kind of amazing end-time push as the world has never seen.
The Great Bwana never got to see that happen and today had to lash out at Ames and other Living Church of God ministers for their rejection of him.
The Great Bwana Mzungu writes:
His death was not unexpected as Richard Ames has been quite ill for some time.
His wife Kathryn is in my prayers. My wife Joyce and her, long got along well.
Anyway, I first met Richard Ames at Ambassador Auditorium in Pasadena, California back in 1980.
I have mixed feelings about him, which makes writing this difficult.
The Great One continues by trotting out Gaylyn Bonjour:
The late LCG minister Gaylyn Bonjour made the following statement about him:
Richard Ames is loyal to a fault.
Gaylyn emphasized the last word. Gaylyn also emphasized that Richard Ames had great difficulty admitting mistakes.
Richard Ames, himself, said he wanted to be remembered as one who, “Turned many to God.”
Yet, his acts of omission tended to allow many to not be Philadelphian.
Poor Richard Ames, you did not acknowledge the awesomeness of the Great Bwana so you deliberately sent many Church of God members into the tribulation. Shame on you!
Like EVERYTHING the Great Bwana writes, this ends up being a story about HIMSELF and how great he is and how incredibly insightful and knowledgeable he is.
Richard Ames, along with the late Dr. Roderick C. Meredith and Dr. Douglas Winnail, was one who stated that he believed I might be a prophet of God.
Given the track record of these men in Pasadena and them saying such blasphemous things is appalling. They watched as hundreds of crackpots came and went in Pasadena claiming to be prophets. The idea of these men publicly telling the Great Bwana this to his face is comical, at best.
Next, we learn that the Great Bwana was having "visions" as early as 2009, which clearly demonstrates that the delusions had started creeping in early on.
Furthermore, in a meeting with the Charlotte evangelists on December 15, 2011, Richard Ames commended me for an article I had posted earlier that morning defending various fasts that LCG had called (LCG Fast Comments and Complaints). We specifically discussed my view that “I personally received certain spiritual insights/gifts as the result of LCG fasts in 2009, 2010, and 2011” related to me and the matter of prophecy, spiritual gifts, and insight into how acquiring certain information on Greco-Roman Catholic prophecy was helpful.
Next, we get to see just how absurd the mind of the Great Bwana works. After a prayer was said and they all said "Amen" it further sealed in the Great Bwana's mind that he was now special and set apart. Who knew saying the word amen was such a powerful incantation!
Did you know that the Great Bwana's writings were to become an "additional witness" much like Joseph Smith's Book of Mormon was claimed to be.
At another meeting with the then LCG evangelists in Charlotte (North Carolina) on December 16, 2011, Richard Ames prayed, with “Amen” concurrence from Dr. Meredith and Dr. D. Winnail, that “Dr. Thiel” would continue to do the work that God has had given me to do, etc. He also specifically called my writings/work “an additional witness.” Hence, there was a concurrence with the evangelical and prophetic fruits of that work I was doing. This, also in my view, was unintended confirmation from all the Charlotte-based evangelists of LCG that I was authorized to speak out in an evangelical and prophetic role; like a “prophetic evangelist” or “evangelistic prophet.”
The Great Bwana will latch on to anything that he thinks promotes himself and lift him up into his adulterous position.
But I do not believe Richard Ames shared that type of information in proper detail with people like LCG’s current presiding evangelist Gerald Weston.
Bad meanie, Ames refused to share much of the information that the Great Bwana supposedly revealed to him. This was the beginning of Ames's death sentence.
The Great Bwana then goes on to list several things Ames was guilty of:
Richard Ames also agreed in meetings over the years that LCG taught the wrong prophetic sequence regarding the 11th chapter of the Book of Daniel as well as the start of the Great Tribulation and that LCG should adopt what I proposed on that. But that was never corrected by him nor LCG.
Because they refused to heed his demands, the Great Bwana lays out this overused warning:
Unless that changes, LCG will NOT know when the Great Tribulation will begin until it is basically too late.
The Great Bwana continues:
Richard Ames also concurred that various statements in LCG’s Official Statement of Fundamental Beliefs needed to be corrected. And even though he and the then presiding evangelist of LCG said they would fully correct it by the and of January 2012, that never happened.
Finally wise men were waking up to the lies that the Great Bwana was trying to blackmail them with.
On October 8, 2012, Richard Ames told me he was still willing to see why LCG’s then new (officially taught in 2012) falling away doctrine was wrong–but although he never corrected it
Note that in 2012, the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu apostatized from the Living Church of God in a fit of rebellion to start his own church. The butthurt from constantly being rejected stung too much (and still does as he never stops talking about it).
Also on October 8, 2012, Richard Ames again agreed to consider fixing various errors that LCG taught related to church history (which he originally did in 2008 or 2009), but he never actually did
Being the narcissist he is, he ends by quoting Aaron Dean who comments that with the death of Ames, there are not many left of the "old guard".
That said, last week Aaron Dean, currently in the United Church of God, sent me the following:
Dear Bob,Thanks for the letter and the links in it. Glad you finally got a French hymnal for your people.I heard Richard Ames is in palliative care with his organs shutting down. Seems the old guard is leaving fairly quickly. A few of us will be the ‘old guard’ pretty soon.All the Best,Aaron
Yes, there are less and less of us who were once part of the old Worldwide Church of God who are still around.
The idea that the Great Bwana Bob believes he is one of the few "old guard" left is comical and absurd. Herbert Armstrong would have smacked his icky narcissistic ass to the curb so fast his head would still be spinning. The great Bwana Bob Mzungu is no more the old guard than he is a true Church of God leader.
