Ms. Anderson is NOT Happy!

A so-called "Ms Anderson" has replied to a post from this past April when COGWA was ripping apart the United Church of God through deceit, subterfuge and back-stabbing.  She was not happy with my description of COGWA and its "new focus" on ministry.

I wrote::

The 7th Day Sabbath Churches of God are reporting that COGWA has come up with a new internet domain that will be their "gospel" proclamation tool.  The name of it is really, really wrong!  All three of their chosen words depict everything they are not!

Clyde Kilough has announced “a website that will be devoted exclusively to delivering the gospel to the world …. we have settled on this as the domain name for our public proclamation website: www.lifehopeandtruth.com.”

Life?  Hope??  Truth???

Are they serious?  Some of the most conniving men in the ministry of the COG today are part of this group where some of them have helped bring into being three different COG's while in previous church organization employ.  That shows an incredible amount of life, hope and truth!  NOT!

Life?  There is a sickening trail of destruction in the Churches of God in the lives of the membership. We have all seen Church of God "love" put into action over the decades we were all a part of it.  Forced divorces, rapes, stalkings, murders, suicides, child abuse, mental and spiritual abuse, and the list could go on and on.  In Armstrongism "love" tends to be a profanity.  A four letter word.

Hope?  How can there be hope in an organization that gives minimal lip services to the one person that offers them that hope? Where is the"hope" in a message that we were never good enough.  We were at fault for everything.  That were were vile filthy sinners. That God delays Jesus coming because COG members were/are too stupid to get it.

Truth??? Truth?  Really? That god of Armstrongism apparently was so incredibly impotent that he lost His own message for 1,900 years only to have it found in an outdated library in America? That He needs apostles and evangelists today? That talking about "a strong hand from someplace" is a hidden truth?

And they all wonder why there is no Church of God today making an impact.

Ignoring the above questions and observations about the REAL life in Armstrongism "she" writes:

Dear author,

I don't know if you believe in God, but if you do, you need to understand that the intense bitterness that you hold for not only individuals, but entire church groups, is something that will put you in danger of the judgement.

Anger, bitterness, and hatred are of Satan, NOT God.

Do you want your hatred towards church groups to prevent you from entering the Kingdom of God?

Jesus said "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do to one of the least of these, you did not do to Me.".

If He said that about things which these people didn't do to others, then what would He say about you and your hateful words?

Do you hate God? Do you hate Jesus?
I'm going to read between the lines a bit here, but it seems to me that "inasmuch as you [hated] one of the least of these, you [hated] Me."

Mat 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

You're calling us worse than fools, I'll tell you that.

I will pray for you, sir, because I think you are in danger of the judgement.

Sincerely,
A second-generation "Armstrongian" and COGWA member.

I am sure NONE of you have an opinion this, do you...........

UCG's Latest Creepy Video

"All of their "worldy" friends on FB are looking at the video and thinking, "WTF?"?

This latest video by United Church of God is downright creepy.  Do they expect the public to be impressed by a retro dude trying to look cool as he takes care of his vintage car in a well kept neighborhood?   Is UCG trying to bring back the nostalgia of the glory days of WCG when strife and division had not pried the church apart?  How many families had to travel to the Feast in that kind of car in the 60's and 70's because the parents were giving all their money to the  church and all they had to drive was an old used car like that?

I feel sorry for the little kids that have to listen to this drivel and the subtle brainwashing it is attempting to do.  There is nothing wrong with believing in a future time when the world will be at peace.  I think that's the hope and desire for the vast majority of humanity.  The problem lies in the teaching that this is something people are required to do in order to make God love them and maybe make them kings of some distant planet.  Kolob, perhaps?

One person on Facebook said that the voice of the creepy puppet reminds him of the voice of the pedophile on Family Guy.


Let's all song together about "...riding me a bottle nose dolphin in the kingdom..." ...and meeting "famous men." Obviously famous women are too stupid to talk to. Besides, just who are these famous men?  COGers through history or real famous men through the ages of time?  Buddha?  Muhammad? Constantine? Charlemagne?  According to COG teaching these men won't be in the first 1,000 years of that kingdom anyway.  Only the resurrected saints and those remaining alive after the Catholic Church is through killing true believers and nuclear war is over will be in the kingdom.  Those famous dudes won
t be there but will pop up on the scene later on.

Obviously their marketing guru's think this series of videos is the next best thing to hot buttered biscuits.  But really, WHO is watching these videos other than UCGer's who are told to click the "Like" button as often as possible to give these videos a higher ranking.

My favorite comment was this: "All of their "worldy" friends on FB are looking at the video and thinking, "WTF?"?

Dale Schurter: When Will He Grow A Pair?

Dale Schurter has a long history being part of the Church of God.  He was looked upon by many as a guru on natural farming and other "green" activities before they were cool.  Others worshiped the man as a minister.  He could preach no wrong and his tapes were widely distributed.

Then Dale made the mind numbing switch over to the Restored Church of God claiming it was the ONLY COG on the face of the earth and in human history to be doing an earth shattering "work."

A reader sent in a little blurb to me today about Dale's latest chameleon changes.  Dale seems to have a reputation on changing colors to suit his latest endeavor.

Dave Pack has been having orgasmic fits over LCG's new teaching on the "wedding supper" and where it will be. Dave is spitting fire right now that LCG are apostates for teaching such a heresy.

The only problem is this so called "new teaching" is not new and was first brought to light by WCG pastor Harold Smith in 1981.  Smith started teaching that the "wedding feast" would be in heaven.  The interesting thing is that when Smith preached this one of the first to jump on the same band wagon was Dale Schurter.  Dale was a firm believer in this "new" teaching and taught it.

Jump ahead to 2012 and Dale is has joined up with his new guru Dave. Obviously Dale needs to be told what to believe, where to do it and how.  Hence, Mr. No Balls.

 Dave hates that teaching and says it is heresy.  Dale Schurter, in his typical ball-less fashion now has changed his beliefs and says it is wrong.  How many more times can this king of waffling change his mind?  When Dave kicks him out of RCG? When some other "new and improved" teacher comes along?

Why doesn't Dale get a pair and stand up for something and stick to it?
