Gerald Weston Tells Ministers To Zip It


 

Is LCG looking to restrict the flow of information? It can't be stopped, not in this digital age. Ministers and members will continue to post things that are wrong in the church.


Greetings from Charlotte,
This past Wednesday we held an online Conference for all ministers around the world. I discussed the need for confidentiality, and caution when putting anything online. Mr. Ames gave an encouraging report on the work of the Television Department as well as plans for new booklets and DVDs that are in the pipeline. Dr. Winnail highlighted the credibility problem regarding vaccines and mandates. Be sure to read Mr. Wallace Smith’s lead article—“The Credibility Crisis”—in the February 2022 Tomorrow’s World magazine. You should be receiving it soon. I finished the conference by mentioning that we are planning in-person Council of Elders meetings, as well as regional in-person ministerial conferences this year. Several follow-up Tomorrow’s World Presentations are scheduled for this Sabbath and Sunday. Please take note of the Canadian truckers’ protest taking place this Saturday in Ottawa, mentioned in my video update for this week.—Gerald Weston


PCG: Murder By Neglect?


 

It should come as no surprise that another person has died in the Philadelphia Church of God due to its draconian and vile doctrines. Once again, another person died because they refused medical treatment, or in this case, the husband refused it. Members live in this constant state of fear that they dare not cross the doctrinal line of the PCG for fear of losing one's salvation, while Gerald Flurry and other PCG elite regularly seek medical attention.

Exit and Support Network has this letter up:



My Ex-Wife Died in PCG Died Due to Medical Neglect:
January 30, 2022 
 
Reviewing these pages has helped me understand and strengthen my thoughts about the PCG and my ex-wife’s passing. 
 
My wife joined the PCG in the early 1990s. I continued attending a traditional Christian denomination while she attended the PCG. I kept getting vibes that her “church” was a cult from the members I met and because of the control it had on her thoughts and actions. We eventually ended up divorcing [several] years later due to the strain it was causing on our children and marriage. She married a member of the PCG and ended up moving multiple times to different states and loosing contact with her children. 
 
Her husband called us in the middle of the night [date removed] that she was dying, was incoherent, and couldn’t talk. Word quickly spread and my son called the town’s police to do a wellness check. They arrived and insisted the husband allow them to call an ambulance and he argued. One was finally called but the husband refused any medical treatment at the hospital because that was her wish. He produced a hand written note stating she didn’t want medical intervention and later he admitted signing the paper. We learned later she possibly wasn’t allowed transportation (by her choice or others) to medical help for a few weeks leading up to her death. PCG members would come over and sit with her to pray and use healing cloths. This was murder by neglect. We also suspected the husband may have had a hand in her demise. The police never did an autopsy or investigation. Later [date removed], he remarried a PCG member and had a child. 
 
The PCG stole my wife, contributed to her death, and emotionally scarred me and my children. 
 
Your pages have given me knowledge that my experience was unfortunately shared by others. –[name withheld]

The Most Significant Date In COG History

 



Other than the miraculous birth of Bob Thiel, which was planned before the foundations of the world had been set so that he could bring about redemption to the faithful in the end times, there is no other date in Church of God history as significant as December 7.

EDMOND—On the Sabbath of December 4, thousands of Philadelphia Church of God members around the globe marked the December 7 anniversary of the founding of the Church. 
 
In Edmond, Evangelist Stephen Flurry gave a sermonette reviewing the history and accomplishments of the “32-year miracle” of the Church. His father, Pastor General Gerald Flurry, delivered a sermon about Bible prophecy and the radical political movement to revolutionize the government of the United States.

The 32-year-old miracle came about because Lil'Stevie read his daddy's plagiarized Malachi's Message while camping at Robber's Cave, Oklahoma. The earth stopped at this moment, just like when Bob Thiel was born, as God's mighty plan was put into place.

Gerald Flurry always fails to mention how he was disfellowshipped for insubordination which removes his ordination rank in the church. A church that he was essentially a nobody in.

December 7 was the beginning of a spiritual war that the true church has supposedly been fighting, all thanks to Gerald Flurry and HWA. For some reason, they left Bob Thiel out. What a bummer!

“This day serves as a reminder to all of us that we are to be persistent in this spiritual war,” Ohio prospective member Adam Williams said, “and to never give up believing in God’s Word, like Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Flurry.” 
 
December 7 marks the date that Mr. Flurry and his assistant, Preaching Elder John Amos, were fired from the Worldwide Church of God for remaining loyal to the teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong and Mr. Flurry’s manuscript that would become Malachi’s Message. The Church has since raised up the ruins with 32 years of a Bible prophecy magazine; 29 years of youth camp, 28 years of a Bible prophecy radio/television program; 20 years of college; 18 years of holding copyrights to 19 books and booklets by Mr. Armstrong, including Mystery of the Ages; and
13 years of a K-12 schooling; as well as regional offices, personal appearance campaigns, a corporate airplane and other milestones. Philadlphia Church of God Celebrates 32 Years
