The Staggering Number of Feast Attendees With The Continuing In Hindsight Church of God

The world's foremost Church of God who is currently doing the ONLY Elijah work on earth today has had a staggering number of attendees at his Feast of Tabernacles sites this year.  No other Church of God is as astounding as this church or has one grown this fast, at least in the deluded leader's mind. He likes to report he has 3,000 African members on his membership rolls.  3,000 followers who have spent a lifetime of church hopping from one organization to another depending who gives them the most money, computers, bibles and whatever else they desire.  They go from Seventh Day Adventist groups to one Church of God group after another when their desires are not met. The Church of God leaders get all warm and fuzzy assuming they have scored more members to their money making empires.  Whoever ends up giving them the most money ro material goods is tyhe One an donly true church.  You can see this in the letter below from one of Hindsight Bob's African groups:

I Greet you all in the Name of Jesus.

We, the Rift Valley (Transmara, Njoro, Bomet, Mau) Members held a meeting for eight days and it turned out successful. We were blessed with Spiritual Training and Teachings.

The people were filled not only Spiritually but also with the bodily satisfaction of food. They were also happy with the services and support we gave them.

I thank you all, but mostly Pastor Ochieng for the planning that took place.

The challenge moreover is the way the people were starved. They experience starvation and hardships in terms of conquering drought and availability of water. But we thank God that the last 2 days when the meeting was supposed to come to an end we were blessed with Rain. But there was no Water Tank for storage but with your prayers we believe we will get one soon.  Hint, hint!

Our Camera Man, Joseah Kipngetich, did a great job in Photo Session however he needs a better quality camera that can take great photo and video graphics whenever we have meetings in Rift Valley next year. Also, he can really come in handy in the Photos in our Church Magazine( Continue Church of God)

Almost-ordained, almost hired and then fired, Elijah Bob Thiel, the Prophet of Hindsight had a staggering number of attendees outside of Africa this year.

Of that 70 there are actually only 40 members sending him money.  Forty deluded people who think a self-appointed liar is an actual prophet of God.  Even Rod Meredith, in all of his grandiose beliefs about himself, understood Bob Thiel to be seriously deluded and thus publicly rebuked him and removed him from the Living Church of God.

Listen to Episode 1 of Heaven's Gate here.

When you listen to the above video you will hear Washington relate how if Herbert Armstrong had gone so far as to tell members to "drink the kool-aid" that 40% would have not done it, but possibly 60% of the church could have taken their lives if Armstrong had told them to.

I used to believe this would never have happened if Armstrong would have gone so far as to demand this, but the longer Armstrongism exists with the absolutely batshit crazy leaders like Pack, Flurry and Thiel, and some others, the blind devotion to the leadership of the church certainly makes this a present reality.

If you listen to another intro to the series here, you will hear Applegate tell his followers that he is the leader chosen at this time to direct them.  The things he says sound exactly like what Dave Pack is saying.

The Heaven's Gate faithful were normal people. Seekers from all over the country.  I will tell you about  a Kingdom level beyond this level.  If you want to go there you have to follow me, because I am the guy who has got the key at the moment.

Watch the video below that a reader here just referred me to.  It compares Herbert Armstrong to Dave Pack.  While its purpose is to discredit Dave Pack, and it rightly does so, it still whitewashes Herbert Armstrong's equally deluded statements.  Regardless of that, when you see Dave pack's comments pulled out and isolated, they make Dave sound exactly like Applegate.

#metoo Sexual Abuse in the Churches of God

A person would have to be blind lately to all of the issues plaguing Hollywood directors and studio heads who have molested, sexually assaulted and raped women in the industry.  As the issue explodes on the news, more and more women are coming forward stating that they too had been assaulted or raped.

This is not isolated to the film industry but seems to be an issue across the board to even include the military and the Churches of God.

Church of God members are always quick to say nothing like this would ever happen in the true church, but it did and still does, even in 2017.

From Herbert Armstrong's incestuous assaults of his daughter to Garner Ted raping and bragging about illicit sex with 200 plus coeds, to ministers stalking women, peering in bathroom windows, raping women, teenage girls and small children.

Facebook is filled with stories right now by women who are XCG members and who are sharing their stories about being raped, assaulted or molested by ministers, fellow church members or family members.  In many of the cases, they report that the ministry was told and did absolutely nothing, except some the person who had been molested or raped.

PCG is notorious for this.  They will suspend a man for a few weeks and then let them back in or totally ignore the situation.  Many of the ministers in the PCG ministry should be in prison.

United Church of God has had similar issues.  One even took her stalker to court and UCG ministers and members lied under oath and tried to blame the women.

Worldwide Church of God was a cesspool of women's abuse.  Some of the abusers were kicked out, others let back in, and in every single case, nothing was done for the woman assaulted.  No counseling, NOTHING, other than trying to place blame on her.

Numerous Church of God ministers, elders, and church members are currently in prison for doing such things and it will not stop, unfortunately.  Some in the church will say that this is the result of "broken men living in a broken world" and that we should go easy on them and let God handle it all later.

How many Church of God women need to be assaulted and raped before the church leaders do something?
