No Other Work On Earth Is As Great As Mine!!!!!!!

God's greatest prophet and Chief Overseer to ever run a Church of God has released his online magazine for October.  In it were these morsels of narcissistic arrogance.

The Continuing Church of God does not claim that all its members are Philadelphian, but we do believe we are a uniquely Philadelphian remnant. Can one find a more faithful or more effective “corporate body” which retains the truth as taught by Bible and Herbert Armstrong, without adding non- biblical “revelations,” relying on traditions above the Bible, or diverting its members from making their top priority the Great Commission of proclaiming the Gospel as established by Jesus Christ?

No!

God is soon going to open the hearts of the poor deceived Laodiceans in the various COGs so that they come over to Thiel's group.  Since none of them went with Dave Pack they must now go to Bob Thiel.

One can expect that Philadelphians, who care about doing an effective Work, fulfilling Matthew 24:14 and Matthew 28:19- 20, and holding fast to the Truth, will ultimately be led by God to support the Continuing Church of God. Of course, simply attending and/or supporting the Continuing Church of God does not make one a Philadelphian; individual members must do their part, and must not allow their lives to be cluttered by the cares of this world so that they themselves become lukewarm (Laodicean).

Right now no one cares about Thiel's ministry, much like they are doing with Malm's ministry.

And SHAME on those that remain INDEPENDENT of any corporate church....

With all the confusion and misreporting that has occurred in the last several years, we can appreciate that there are Philadelphians outside the Continuing Church of God. However, this is not an excuse for zealous Christians to become “independent.”

UCG Now Declares That It Is An Authority On Abuse

If you have ever thought that Armstrongism was full of assploading hypocrisy, UCG now makes that all come true.  The United Church of God is holding a "seminar" at the Wisconsin Dells Feast of Tabernacles site  on "How to Recover From the Ravages of Abuse"

Updates - August 3, 2014

Special Seminar: Wednesday, October 15th at 3pm - "How to Recover From the Ravages of Abuse"

Abuse comes in different forms, including verbal abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse and emotional abuse.  Satan the Devil is the originator of abuse, and its pain, suffering and devastation are his handiwork. Abuse is very prevalent in our society today as a social disease, since it affects not only the one abused, but also his surrounding social environment such as family, marriage and work. The road to healing from abuse is long, hard and challenging. This seminar will give information on how to recover from abuse.  We will also have an interactive discussion about how you and I can help other people who are progressing through the stages of recovery from the abuse they have experienced. The coming Millennium pictures the return of our Messiah to bring about fantastic healing from all types of abuse! Come to the seminar and join our discussion about the subject of abuse – and about opportunities that you and I may be given to assist Jesus Christ as He brings about huge changes.

The seminar will be conducted by John Cafourek. John was born in South Dakota. He attended Ambassador College in Pasadena, California, from 1965 to 1969, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He received a Master’s Degree in psychological counseling from Southeast Missouri State University, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, in 1978. Mr. Cafourek has pastored churches in Nebraska, North Dakota, Missouri, Mississippi, Washington, and Oregon. He is currently serving as pastor of the Salem, Eugene, and Roseburg congregations. He has given seminars on abuse and addictions, and traveled as an international speaker in Canada, England, New Zealand, Jamaica, and Australia. Mr. Cafourek has been married to his wife Sandy for 44 years, and they have two daughters and seven grandchildren with one on the way.

Did you notice with "abuse" was missing above?  Where is spiritual abuse?  If Carfourek got his Master's degree in psychology then he knows for a FACT how abusive the UCG and COG environment is.  He also knows how alcoholism and other addictions are rampant in the UCG.  Will he talk about that?

This hypocrisy is coming from a church that has a huge track record of abusing its members with threats, intimidation and aberrant theology.  This abuse includes the 20 year old UCG and its harlot mother the Worldwide Church of God.  The "new and improved" UCG is still the same old pile of steaming shit but with new deodorizer sprayed on it.

Will Cafourek talk about how the Church of God has abused its members through legalism?

Will Carourek talk about how the church has abused members by telling them that they are required to tithe 30%+ of their income?

Will Cafourek talk about who the COG has abused members so badly that hundreds have committed suicide over the decades?

Will Cafourek talk about how the COG has destroyed families, and marriages with sick doctrines and bad theological stances?

Will Carfourek talk about the child molesters, stalkers, rapists and murderers in the Church of God that the church covered up over the decades?

Abuse in Armstrongism, including the UCG, is masked by throwing around the word "trial" or "God is testing you."  That is how the UCG and the rest of the COG's control their members.  Why would a member go and report abuse when they have been told that God is "testing" them to see what they do?"

Wives have been beaten to blood pulps by UCG and COG husbands and told to stay in their abusive marriages because it was all  a"test": to see how they submit.  Besides, their reward is coming in the Kingdom so persevere to be held worthy.

Pedophiles have been protected in the UCG and COG because they were ministers kids or adults that were "well liked" in the church and it would be embarrassing to see that brought to light.

What about the rampant alcoholism in the UCG that leads to all kids of abuse?  Why does the church cover this up?  Some of its current leaders are raging alcoholics!  This was well known when they were still in Pasadena, yet they are given positions of power in UCG.

Sadly many will attend this "seminar" and start gushing on what an "amazing" thing it was and how God is enlightening the church.

I say BULLSHIT!

Sad State of Affairs In The COG's 2014 Feast of Tabernacles

Gone are the days of 10-15,000 COG members in one location.  

The eight COG's below will be lucky if they have 1,500 total between them all!

Who could have ever imagined years ago that there would be EIGHT different Church of God's meeting in the same city with each one telling their members to NOT attend the other group's site.

Church of God in Truth
Church of God Ministries International
Church of God a Worldwide Association
Eternal Church of God
International Congregation of Yahweh
Providence of God Outreach
United Church of God

United Church of God and Church of God Worldwide Association will both be there together in the same city.  Two splinter personality cult both claiming they are the ULTIMATE authority on God's word and truth.  Both are just as heretical as the other.

Then there is Living Church of God and Church of God Worldwide Association in Park City Utah.  Can one little town handle two of most self-righteous COG's ever in the same city?  The Mormons look half way sane in the face of these two splinter personalty cults!

Common Roots and Extreme Exclusivism Between Armstrongism and Jehovah's Witnesses

Imprisoned Felon Ron Weinland Threatens Ministers With Their Jobs If They Fail To Send In Spy Reports On Members

Ron Weinland has reportedly sent out he following to his cult ministers chastising some of the rebellious ministers because they are not sending in monthly reports on their members.  I have a feeling that this directive is coming more from loony Laura and money grubbing Audra than from the imprisoned prophet/felon.  Laura needs to know that the few remaining members left are tithing and being loyal so that Audra can add more money to her trust fund  the church checking account.  Laura has to get lots of money in the bank account so that when her felon husband is released from prison they can head over to Jerusalem so they can pretend to be the Two Witless Witnesses.

Elder’s Reports:
Some in the Church may not be aware of a requirement upon the ministry to send in monthly reports to the Church. Such reports are to reflect any concerns about a troubling situation that may exist in an area, perhaps some difficult trial someone may be experiencing, or to address some question of concern someone may have. Such reports are mostly to consist of a personal response from the minister as to the affects of current posts, sermons, or other things may be impacting their personal life. These reports are needful to help those in the administration of the Church to have a good sense as to the ongoing welfare of the Church and the ministry worldwide.

In the past, within the Worldwide Church of God, monthly reports were required of full-time ministers for basically the same purpose of keeping the headquarters of the Church informed and up-to-date concerning the Church and ministry. In my experience, it was always an unimaginable thing to hear about some in the ministry who did not follow that directive from headquarters. For me, it later magnified how these same men had a wrong spirit of service to the Church and did not stand fast for God and His ways within the Church. Such individuals reflected a variety of wrong thinking, practice, teaching, counseling, and service to God’s Church. That kind of spirit of neglect and/or rebellion reflects a spirit toward God that cannot be allowed to exist within the ministry.

Since some have been negligent in sending reports, they have either been reduced in their service within the ministry or have simply been removed from the ministry. The ministry needs to be aware of this, as well as the Church. Government, and the administration of God’s way of life, is a most basic characteristic that each member of the Body of Christ is to embrace and heartily live toward God, and most assuredly this applies to a minister. We are also now requiring that if both a husband and a wife are in the ministry that each one needs to send in a separate monthly report.

This is being written because some are still being negligent in sending in monthly reports and it needs to be understood that we are now WELL beyond any grace period that has been given too often to too many. It is for this basic reason that there will still be some who will be removed from the ministry if they do not follow through with this very simple request to respond as responsible servants to God’s Church. It needs to be taken seriously that we are in a most unique period of time in the measuring of the temple and God is moving the Church to be in the forefront of this process.
