Vic Kubik's LifeNets Church of God

Many in UCG have always felt large discomfort with the blurring of the lines of UCG with LifeNets, the pet "ministry" of Vic Kubik.  Many question the man running two organizations that are suppose to be separate, but are they really?  LifeNets presents itself as a "humanitarian organization" to woo in the public while failing to disclose it is a Church of God related tool to encourage people to come over to the dark side.  Is Kubik and UCG too embarrassed to to say UCG is behind it and that it is a recruitment tool for  its "god", much like HWA started Ambassador Foundation because he was too embarrassed to say he represented the Worldwide Church of God?  While it has undeniably done some good, its motives are questionable.

Those in Australia need to know (as do those in South Africa and most international locations) that their ‘church’ is not really an extension of the UCG in the USA — instead they are what Cincinnati calls the “LifeNets” churches –they are not funded by UCG any longer, have to be self-sufficient, and Kubik travels to them on LifeNets funds, not UCG money. This is why the moment the “airy” sermon is over, Kubik launches into a 45-minute LifeNets presentation to the congregation. Legally he has to do this because he is on LifeNets money which is being audited. The members are not in a Church, they are just laborers in a commercial LifeNets exercise, even thought they don’t know it. Council members who did not want Kubik as president (took the most re-balloting ever ) finally acquiesced over the information that it would save UCG money since Kubik was the only only one who could travel internationally on another budget (namely his private Corporation Sole LifeNets, which has made him the wealthiest Council member, and which he built in competition with the Good Works program, since that one wasn’t going to earn him anything personally). 

And yes, we are all supposed to give up our various ‘cultural backgrounds’ to put on the culture of Christ, but this man Kubik still can’t disconnect himself from a Ukrainian village he has never really lived in, now bending the truth to accommodate a small Pentecostal and trinitarian group there that clearly for over 20 years has shown no interest in joining with UCG. But,like the populism of Brexit and Trump, it’s beginning to all blow up: we have what we call the “parking lot church” in our congregation — it’s about what is said when everyone goes to their cars so the minister can’t hear them, and it’s about 50% of the congregation now that meets this way — outside. The moment someone stands up with some integrity and calls UCG out on all of this, the following is in place and ready to move.

Living Church of God: Are Twiggy Doctrines Messing With The Minds of LCG Members?

Twiggy seems to be messing with LCG doctrines.

Doug Winnail writes:

Truly focused Christians don’t have time to get sidetracked on material pursuits, private agenda or twiggy doctrinal ideas (2 Timothy 2:14-18). They don’t let interpersonal differences hinder their spiritual growth (Romans 12:14-18) or their goal of developing the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5-11). Real Christians focus on what is good and positive and right and true - they don’t listen to rumors and they don’t dwell on complaints (Philippians 4:8). June 30

In other words Dear Brethren...don't concern yourself with the Scarborough's suing the church or the fact that they subpoenaed over 200 of us, that's not important.  Nor are all those pesky twiggy doctrines floating around that James Malm and Bob Thiel keep declaring need to be kept.

As usual, the entire reason for the posting was the fact that all the problems in LCG are the result of members sticking their noses into things that don't concern them.  The hierarchy of the LCG is not accountable to the membership.

Dingy Wade Cox and Tim Kitchen Believe McDonalds Is Using Baby Meat

The Church of God has always been fertile ground for the lunatic fringe to promote their pet conspiracy theories.  People naively believe all of the conspiracies because everything is a Jesuit, Masonic, Bilderberger or Illuminati conspiracy to take over the world.  This is Satan's plan after all, isn't it? So its no wonder that the space cadet's in the church invent scary scenarios or outlandish claims and promote them as truth  There is always a COG true believer out there that will fall for their baloney.

Both of these theologically bankrupt men are apparently not smart enough to know that the original story that started this entire chain of lies was a story posted on Huzlers, a site that allows users to "create your own news prank and trick your friends by sharing it."

But I guess its too much trouble to do a three minute search of the Internet and discover the back story.  Much like these men can't use the Internet to discover the back story of Armstrongism. Instead they both choose to perpetuate lies and unfortunately there are still dumb people out there that believe them.
