The Two Battling Worldwide Church of God Entities

 

Satan and Simon Magus are MAD! I say MAD!!!!!!! Satan is particularly mad that the original Worldwide Church of God never went away as so many claim. He is even more ticked off to learn that every single splinter that he helped set up along with Simon Magus is now known to be false. How can that be????

As crafty as Satan is he has been foiled by the Kitchen family as they hold on to the truth once restored by the Holy Apostle. Satan has really ticked off lately by stirring up more family division turning brother against brother.

On another note, my brother added me back to my old YouTube Channels, and I've made those channels available again! ALL VIDEOS ARE BACK!!!!!

Today, July 17 Samuel writes:

So Tim kicked me off those channels again. 

 

I had until tomorrow to be primary owner again. Had to wait a week until I could remove Tim and be the primary owner again.

Tim took them back, while I was getting Bible study and Church services ready. Satan DOES NOT WANT IT.

SO, WE LOST THE CHANNELS AGAIN. I tried to call Tim, he refused to answer. 

All of this upheaval started a few weeks ago when another COG splinter group went and filled out paperwork claiming the name Worldwide Church of God as their own, usurping Samuel.

Some of you may recall Ron Stephens who was well known during the doctrinal changes for sending out memory sticks of WCG literature and sermons. It was called:

Given the fact that numerous other COG-related sites have proliferated over the years with far better sites and resources, most people have forgotten about Ron Stephens until recently, when he reared his head and went after Samuel Kitchen.

Samuel shared this information about Stephens regarding his persecution of the Kitchen family over the years and his recent filing of a trademark of the WCG name:

Concerning the trademark filed by Ron Stephens...

The original trademarks, as seen in the publications and productions of the Worldwide Church of God and Herbert W Armstrong, is what I have been sharing all along and emphasizing.

On my family's page, A Voice Cries Out- Herbert W Armstrong, I have been authoring article and publications where I discuss and use the name Worldwide Church of God for many many years. Before this, I have saved conversations, with many people concerning the Worldwide Church of God.

Sometime after 2010, Ron Stephens came to know the existence of my family's online work.

He had created "HWA Storehouse", a project based on Malachi 3 concerning the collection of God's Tithes and Offerings. Mr. Stephens was NOT, and I repeat again, NOT an ordained minister.

He based his project on a misinterpretation of the prophecy in the book of Amos, concerning the "famine of the hearing of the Word".

God says in His Word, HE WILL SEND A FAMINE, and people will search and shall not find.

Ron Stephens evoked the idea, that those who had a flashdrive could find it in their homes. Like a bomb shelter peddler, his work was to oppose the Word of God.

This is eerily similar to the doctrine of GTA who said the place of safety would be in the homes of church membership.

So after coming into the knowledge of my family's work, we soon approached him and warned him of the sin he was committing against the Church. He was robbing God's tithes and offerings and touching that which he was not permitted to touch.

It was soon after, he was received well by a Nigerian group, who my family caught stealing our videos. The Nigerian claimed to be the successor of Mr. Armstrong and that all videos produced by the Church was his to use as he saw fit.

He took Ron Stephens in, and ordained him an elder.

Sounds like the African scam that ordered Bob Thiel and currently now uses him for money and supplies. 

Immediately Ron Stephens filed and registered a trademark called "THE ORIGINAL WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD".

Now he filed a new trademark in February 2021, for "WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD (WCG)".

This was the time my family was being hit, with family members being murdered.

What would any COG story be without a grand conspiracy theory? After all, they seem to be the lifeblood of the church. Here is a dozy of one:

In January 2020, my father was approached by a man who claimed he worked for the CIA.

The man told my dad, that something was coming down the line of command against my family, and he wanted to let my dad know it wasn't personal, he was just following orders and doing so to protect his own family.

Six months later my grandmother was murdered in a hospital.

Six months after that my mother died.

Four months after that, my dad died.

For two months, my dad was laid up paralyzed. He had a hole at the base of his head which had caused him much pain and it got an infection.

The doctors he visited in the ER, was the same doctors that were involved with my grandmother. So when we went to the ER, my dad checked himself out.

The next ER visit, was in another town.

He was admitted and was staying the night. He was feeling better.

During that night, men in suits began to enter his room and leaving. My dad asked the night nurse who they were, and was told they were with the FBI and FEMA.

He began to lose motor functions and so my dad called me, and checked himself out again. Within several hours he was better. But still dealing with the paralysis.

It was at that time, he caught a staff infection at the hospital.

He eventually had to amputate his leg. He was flown down to Chandler, Arizona where they performed the operation and he never woke up.

It was during this time of trial, Ron Stephens was rushing towards the Trademark office to file for "WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD (WCG)".

His trademark was filed in defiance of the knowledge of my family. We had been using the name, been defending the name, and been sharing the old publications and productions of the Worldwide Church of God and Herbert W Armstrong.

But my family was being murdered and taken out of the way. We were a threat to the system. And with my dad out of the way, the name seemed to be easy picking for Ron Stephens.

True COG members around the world need to STAND UP and defend the Kichen family! 

Those from the Worldwide Church of God, who was with Mr. Armstrong needs to stand up and defend us.

This new trademark is being used to attack this work.

It is also being used to ATTACK any man who may return to the ministry of the Worldwide Church of God.

Aaron Dean to the rescue, IF and only IF he repents of being in the United Church of God and returns to the one true faith. 

That's why I look at the original ordained ministry for assistance. Especially Aaron Dean. He can secure the original usage if he repented and stepped up. This will put an end to the destruction of the Worldwide Church of God and aid in the restoration of the Worldwide Church of God.

Because the documents show Aaron Dean there with Mr. Armstrong. The publications show a ministry. They show a church.

And if they shut down this work, they are doing so to take over and to fully destroy the Church. Any YouTube channel, any website is under threat! 

YouTube recently shut down Samuel's video site where he had posted hudnreds of HWA and WCG-related sermons and videos. This could have been instigated by Ron Stephens.

Samuel writes:

The deletion of the Worldwide Church of God Youtube Channel(@officialworldwidechurchofgod), that happened a day ago, was just another attack by Satan the Devil, the great HINDERER.

This matter on the Youtube website, is based on TRADEMARK LAW. It is a CIVIL MATTER on RELIGIOUS THINGS.

And while it is easy to expose this fake claim made by opposing parties to a reasonable human being, Youtube runs on automation.

Therefore people can THRUST a civil action against the Church, in order to SUPPRESS and HINDER our standing on the Youtube platform and cause damage before human intervention.

Are we realizing the time is at hand where RELIGIOUSLY POWERED PEOPLE ARE ENGAGING IN CIVIL ACTIONS AGAINST THIS CHURCH, as foretold in God's Word? I am waiting a decision from YouTube, as I appealed their decision, but we are now hindered!

Right now, until I can reach a human being, the uploading of the Bible Studies and Church Services has been paused.

The way that YouTube has it, is a system where these dissidents can launch civil action(reports) against us, and cause a great deal of damage before someone at Youtube will intervene, if they ever will intervene. Do we risk the damage? We are NOW being HINDERED like never before!

Now, someone is claiming a NEW TRADEMARK, and claiming to be the Worldwide Church of God by use of the new trademark. They are claiming "exclusive usage", by going after us.

In 2021 Stephens applied to register the name Worldwide Church of God as a trademark he owns.

Kitchen wrote on July 10:

If you look at the Trademark Office, on Ronnie D. Stephens new trademark(#90542251), he applied for CLASS 016 with description "Printed publications, namely, brochures, booklets, and teaching materials in the field of Religious, Social and Historical archived materials pertaining to the original teachings of the Worldwide Church of God and its founder Herbert W. Armstrong."

This was later removed.

He also applied for CLASS 045 with description "Religious and spiritual services, namely, conducting religious worship, marriage ceremonies, baptismal ceremonies, baby dedications, bereavement ceremonies, and religious counseling".

This CLASS was kept.

This is an attack on the MINISTRY.

Please pray for this brethren. Perhaps we can plea with the Trademark office, and explain this FRAUD, and have the trademark placed into the hands of a minister who is ON THE Pre-1986 ROSTER of the Worldwide Church of God, such as Mr. Aaron Dean?

The original publications, and productions of the Worldwide Church of God and Herbert W. Armstrong, is inclusive to Mr. Aaron Dean. He is included!

How do we know? The record shows! Ronnie D Stephens wants people to accept his fraud. The record he wants to OWN, exposes the fraud.

So maybe, we ought to pray and fast about this brethren. Let the true ministry of the Worldwide Church of God handle the wolves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This will be interesting to see how this all plays out since Grace Communion International holds the copyright to the WCG name. Though I imagine they could care less.

Are You Thinking About Joining LCG, UCG, PCG Or Bob Thiel's Group? If So, "you are simply being tempted by a heresy".

 

Poor Bob Thiel, the little guy never gets a break. 😅 

Samuel Kitchen has come out proclaiming that anyone who joins ANY of the splinter groups are being tempted by heresy. We've known that all along when it comes to the Great Bwana Bob. The lies of Gerald Flurry and Dave Pack pale in comparison to the lies and half-truths the Great Bwana has dumped upon us all. From his crazy nightmares to the "enlarged upon" conversations that really never happened the way Bob claims, the absolute craziness he says has no boundaries. Rod Meredith understood this very well when he said:

However, Bob, your own remarkable vanity and “dreams of greatness” have greatly affected your ability to think clearly many times. Over the last few years, many of us have noted that you have begun to think of yourself in terms that are not realistic.  

Also, to abet your desires to be a “great one” in the Work, you have carefully and cleverly twisted and enlarged upon many things people have mentioned to you." -RCM 

Samuel Kitchen claims that Bob and all of the others are following in the footsteps of Simon Magus. Ouch! 

Unto those He sent out, Jesus Christ commanded in Matthew 28 to make disciples in all nations of the world, this to fulfill Christ's own prophecy in Matthew 24:14. This was a prophecy of the fruition of the Worldwide Church of God in this Philadelphia era.

Now, many have become confused. Since the death of the apostle, the people of God seem to be scrambling to different groups and different works, and that is odd.

Yes the Worldwide Church of God is the Church of God, the spiritual body of Christ. The organization was struck by Satan, in order to destroy a media empire, that could take on anyone who wanted to restrict information to the public.

The spiritual remains intact. The work of God is to continue to remain organized as it has been directed through Christ's apostle, to believe the one sent from God.

We are commanded to Hold fast, and endure persecution.

These c.o.g groups are merely other works, and they are restricting people's relationship with the apostle, and therefore Jesus Christ, and many are failing to hold fast.

Jesus didn't start a second church, or second work. The Bible holds true.

If the idea of another work intrigues you....you are simple being tempted by a heresy. The heresy is the idea of another work, the idea of another church.

These ministers were ordained as ministers of the Worldwide Church of God. They were NOT an apostle, and so let's remember how Simon Magus claimed apostleship and started his counterfeit Church in competition against the true Church of God.

That's why I look at the Worldwide Church of God, and say the idea there is another church now is heresy. Heresy should never be supported. And that is something we all need to repent of.

Let us get back on the right track brethren!

Dave Pack: Performance Anxiety

Performance Anxiety

David C. Pack suffers from an acute case of doctrinal performance anxiety.

The brethren of The Restored Church of God have been on this prophetic-knowledge rollercoaster before. When David C. Pack consistently blows off scheduled speaking appointments and resorts to lesser men in Church Administration submitting proxy Hem and Haw emails because he fears to further expert opinions that he is a proven not-so expert, you know the Pastor General is stalling.

David C. Pack cannot cross the finish line of any race he attempts because he has no clue how God plans to execute His how and when of Jesus Christ’s return. Do not be surprised if Coffee Kid and Pepper Boy are choking the Hall of Administration’s underground furnace with 25,000 hours worth of pointless Bible study notes. The members of The Restored Church of God continue to invest their time, money, and partial attention because nine straight years of absolute failure are not a clear signal it is time to flee.

David C. Pack foolishly chose to no longer tiptoe just right, offering undeniable proof that the 7-Year Kingdom of God would arrive on Tammuz 5: July 11, 2024.

Just during 2024, he taught that the Kingdom of God would arrive on:

•  Abib 1
•  Abib 14 (Passover)
•  Iyar 1
•  Sivan 1
•  Sivan 10 (Pentecost)
•  Tammuz 1
•  Tammuz 5
•  Mystery date brethren may be able to determine

He also “proved” it was the Feast of Trumpets just to make the point the Kingdom could never come on the Feast of Trumpets.

David C. Pack’s current performance anxiety could result from him running out of ideas.

 

The four emails sent within the same week offer illogical excuses that defy David C. Pack’s presumptuous commission to “rush to call it out” because his last message triggers a “tiny, tiny micron” before Jesus Christ can return. 

Boy, if all that does not line up just so, prophecy breaks, and God cannot move forward with His plan for the salvation of mankind. But, hey, Dave…no pressure.

Subject: Upcoming Live Stream Message – Early This Week

Dear brethren,

Warm greetings from Headquarters!

Following yesterday's Bible study more knowledge has been gained requiring further explanation.

These will be detailed further in an upcoming message, likely Monday or Tuesday.

Look out for additional communication.

Warm regards, 
Church Administration

That idea almost lasted a whole day.

Monday, July 8, 2024
Subject: Upcoming Live Stream Message – Thursday, July 11

Greetings again brethren, 

For several reasons, it is better for Mr. Pack to speak on Thursday. This alone means we are not looking for this Wednesday.

However, he wanted to pass on that many of you may be able to determine the date if you take a moment to think about it and don't jump to any quick conclusions. Think back, starting about a month ago, and you will probably figure out exactly what day this is!

Warm regards,
Church Administration

Hours of holy time were devoted to listening to David C. Pack explain exactly what the Bible says with precision and accuracy, which was dissolved in a single sentence: "This alone means we are not looking for this Wednesday.” The energy spent could have been utilized better if RCG had constructed a giant domino obstacle course so that the single flip of a finger could have at least been interesting.

Informing the brethren that they may determine the day without further information but not jump to conclusions is a logic paradox that hurts my brain. By offering that they "may be able to determine the date” and “figure out exactly,” CAD asks them to come to a conclusion.

I may be a self-taught Packinese expert, but I have no idea what the brethren were expected to do. Most figured they should just hunker down and be patient until Thursday.

That also turned out to be a terrible idea.

Subject: Important Update: Livestream Bible Study - Cancelled

Greetings brethren,

As an update, Mr. Pack will not be speaking today. He will now speak on the Sabbath.

Further communication with timing details will follow.

Have a pleasant rest of your day!

Warm regards,
Church Administration

By this point, David C. Pack’s biblical performance anxiety was fully inflamed. The malarkey well had gone dry even though gallons of recyclables were stored in the basement.

I wonder if they locked the doors to the Third Floor Executive Imaginarium and issued another Headquarters-wide “Do not talk to Mr. Pack” edict like in times past.

Yeah, that was a real thing at Headquarters.

Employees were told in a staff meeting not to engage with Dave even when we ran into him in the office because he was easily distracted and could lose his train of thought. Even then, I chuckled to myself because if his inspiration had come from the Holy Spirit, that divine knowledge would not be lost to the ages because someone asked him how his weekend was.

It took a long time to realize that Headquarters hirelings are not spiritually-thinking people.

Imagine God is moving Dave’s mind toward understanding vital end-time knowledge that gets thwarted because a bootlicker asks about when a particular tree will bloom. I once stood beside a man who was so excited he got five minutes of Dave's attention. He was beaming. He was fired six months later.

Nope. None of that. Prophecy cannot fulfill itself. Dave must be locked away so he can concentrate and “try to figure out what God’s gonna do.”

 

The RCG holdouts clinging to patience by their fingernails had the cold, rigid CAD heel slam down on their fingers when the latest information did not survive a whole day.

Subject: Follow-up: Upcoming Live Stream Message – Tomorrow, July 13

Greetings brethren,

We trust this message finds you well!

As previously communicated, Mr. Pack had planned to speak this Sabbath. However, given timing, there is no need for him to speak since there may not be enough time for anyone to hear the message.

Coming off the timing-related email from earlier this week, do not assume that you know the day. Be prepared for an event that may come sooner than expected.

If we are here next week, Mr. Pack can share some additional inspiring knowledge.

Enjoy the Sabbath ahead!
Church Administration

Kevin Denee and I have a theory that David C. Pack will try to capitalize on the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. That Chicken Little rant will come, and somehow, it will make Dave “right” because “an event” occurred. Fox News has not stopped running in the Third Floor Executive Imaginarium and is visible from the Giant Eagle parking lot at the right time of day.

I doubt Dave will put his doctrinal marbles in the Richard Simmons death circle. It remains to be seen if he views Dr. Ruth Westheimer as a “dirty, filthy woman” among the ranks of Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian.

“If we are here next week" is laughable but also a lie. They knew we would be here this week. That line was just an excuse, not a reason. Today is Tammuz 10, and even I did not bother to "figure out" the date.

David C. Pack forfeited being the Goodman of the House because he neglected his self-proclaimed assignment when he decided not to speak because “there may not be enough time.” Once again, Dave’s god is terrible with timing because it gave its nincompoop lackey information too late to do anything with. That means whatever “inspiring knowledge” fell out of the sky into Dave's head while making a doodie in the toilet, not in his pants, was entirely vain.

There was plenty of time for people to hear Part 524 and be disappointed with failed date #85 since March 2022. The truth is Dave had no message to give. He was stalling and is stalling and will keep stalling until he builds a new prophetic Jenga tower and presents it as "what the Bible says.”

The CAD emails are smoke and mirrors for what is really happening behind the scenes. Instead of Dave admitting how uncomfortable and troubled he is, "inspiring knowledge” is just over the horizon.

With ten days of stalling, David C. Pack’s reoccurring prophetic performance anxiety is causing quiet rejoicing in RCG’s congregations throughout the world. Brethren, savor this respite because he will be back in full force to wrestle the Bible into submission, bending the Scriptures to conform to his twisted imagination.

It has been a while since we last saw David C. Pack’s performance anxiety, which is quite impressive for a man his age.
