On the Shining Light blog today there was a comment in regards to "the spirit in man" whether it was received at conception or at birth.

One man wrote in and said this:

I know this for sure from personal experience. Our baby was stillborn in 1982. The WCG minister declined to take any sort of funeral, as he was adamant that our child would never be resurrected. This is no doubt why this is a subject very close to my heart.

Was this a WCG policy?  I have never heard of this happening before.  It would not surprise me if it did though.  I also could almost guarantee you that that minister is now part of LCG or PCG!

We did have one minister in Pasadena (Imperial Gym) who told a young woman who had gotten pregnant that her "bastard child would never make  it into the Kingdom of God."  The young girl was devastated.  He did not care and laughed about it with others.  He also was the same guy who told his congregation that they were to turn in fellow church members if you knew they were reading "dissident" literature.

When I hear stories such as this it makes my blood boil!  What kind of deviate men are these guys?  They have no right being ministers.  How many more lives will be destroyed by these degenerates before the membership says "enough is enough!"

Tonight You Must Blow Your Shofar! It's New Mooner Time!

Apostle Malm is directing all of his true followers to blow a shofar tonight in honor of the new moon and the start of the sixth month.

The Apostle claims the new moon is as important as Passover:

The New Moon day is not a Holy Day; it IS an Appointed Time, like Passover and Wave Offering.  The New Moon is to be observed with the blowing of trumpets and special sacrifices.

I bet you did not know that you are still required under the New Covenant to do sacrifices!  But just what kind of sacrifices does the Apostle expect you to do?  In typical COG proof-texting fashion and "here a little, there a little", the Apostle says you are to sacrifice by doing bible study.

Since the physical sacrifice was only a physical reminder of the spiritual sacrifice of the Lamb of God, we do a special study of the Scriptures in place of the sacrifices [which cannot be offered because there is no Tabernacle or temple at Jerusalem:

Somehow opening an  onion skin book on a dining room table does not equate to slaughtering oxen, sheep and doves over an altar so that the blood flows off it onto the ground.

Armstrongism has always had to find the easy way out of doing all kinds of things.  Many things in Leviticus are supposedly required, while many things right next to the required things are not required.  Just  one more reason why Armstrongism has no credibility!
