Dude...Wait....... What?????????

I received the following private post this morning.  I guess I need to get out my Strong's Exhaustive Concordance to try and figure out just what this person is trying to say.

What a disgrace you are. Just because a lot of brethren left in 1996 to go to the Feast and thereby 'join' Joe does not mean you can drop your bundle. Where is the LOVE (cf. Mr Armstrong) to those brethren that God had mercy on post-1996? Should you not also exhibit brotherly love? I am ashamed to say I was congregationally fellowshipping with you critics. Thanks for succouring the scattered ones. I AM being sarcastic! Shame. Shame. Shame.

The church left for the Feast in 1996 to join Joe?
Dropping my bundle?
God only loved the pre-1996 "brethren?"

Which Church of God May Prove To Be The Most Deadly?

With all the craziness going on with David Pack, Gerald Flurry,  Rod Meredith and other Church of God splinter personalty cults, it may not be long till something deadly happens again.  Vote in the latest poll to the right on who that might be.

Living Church of God: Home of Big Brother

Things continue to slowly melt down at the Living Church of God headquarters in Charlotte.  Every time one of these stories comes out here, LCG brass start proclaiming that the LCG is more unified than every and that EVERYONE loves each other with so much love that even God is surprised.  It is easy to see why Herbert Armstrong refused to name Rod Meredith as his successor.

Rod Meredith is keenly aware of his beloved source of money crumbling a little more each day as employees and members alike get more and more frustrated with his rhetoric. There are indeed "loose bricks" at LCG headquarters in Charlotte. Its unclear as to whether he continually writes and preaches about the purest ministry ever and the most unity in the history of the church in an effort to convince himself or others; or if he is truly delusional.

Meanwhile there are so many issues and unhappy employees / ministers at LCG headquarters that Meredith has now begun to check private emails of his employees looking for dissenters, negative comments about himself or his soldiers or communication with the ex-communicated. Any emails sent to or from private @lcg.org email accounts is scrutinized by someone in IT for offending statements. Nothing is private. If it goes through their server, it is theirs. Meredith's paranoia is unfathomable.

Of course people are smart enough to send email that they truly want to be private via web-based email such as Hotmail or gmail. Roddy probably hasn't figured that out though since he's stuck in 1957 (when it was widely acceptable to discriminate against blacks and homosexuals).

It is somewhat amusing to imagine that someone gets paid to monitor Facebook accounts and private emails over at LCG. Is there nothing better these people can do with their time?

I Am Not A Homosexual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Am A Lady's Man!!!

Its been a rough week for the Chief Pharisee getting bitch-slapped by Scott Ashely and the new moon hiding its self from the true believers.  Trying to defend himself against Scott Ashely's smack down the Chief Pharisee brings up a point that no one has ever seen thrown out at him anywhere on the internet.

I wanted everyone to understand that last weeks situation was not some isolated event, which is why I posted on it.   This man has been on the attack since the beginning and is getting more and more frustrated with his repeated failures.

I have no doubt that the attacks will continue from him and others and others are attacking mainly through the rumor mill to have plausible deniability.  There are many lies and false rumors being circulated about me.  There is even one that claims I hate God’s church because I am an unrepentant homosexual.

Of course I do not hate the Ekklesia and am working just as hard as I can to warn them before the coming correction.  I am also NOT a homosexual; and for the record I have always been a lady’s man; yet I have been absolutely faithful to my wife since my conversion, baptism and later marriage, even during the difficult years after she left the faith.

I want to warn you that Satan is the author of many wicked lies and false accusations, and this will undoubtedly increase as we get closer to the time and much is fulfilled.

Satan sure is a busy guy!

A New Moon That Was Seen By Unwashed Heathens But Not Seen By The True Believers Causes A Big Issue For Legalists

If you thought the silliness of the "new" moon sightings could not get any sillier then read below.  The "new" moon was actually seen by people outside of the city of Jerusalem where the clouds and rain were not present.  However, the Malmites claim that since their person in Jerusalem did not see it the other "new" moon sighting is not valid.  Only a new moon sighting of a Malmite standing with his feet in Jerusalem makes a new moon valid.  The Chief Pharisee warns the true believers that the people outside of Jerusalem that saw the "new" moon first are deceptive tools of Satan and are deliberately try to deceive the true believers.

A reader of Malm's blog notes:

Gordon sighted the moon near Eilat. See his initial message below. Also confirmed at his Site https://www.facebook.com/NehemiaGordon

Quote: The new moon was first sighted from the Eilat Mountains in southern Israel by Nehemia Gordon at 5:53pm and by Tim Arndt at 6:01pm. The new moon was also sighted from Kiryat Ata [Haifa] in northern Israel by Yoel Halevi at 6:38pm and by Naomi Halevi, Yedidyah Halevi, and Aharon Halevi at 6:46pm. My thanks to the observers in Jerusalem (and other locations) who stood out in the cold, but were unable to sight the moon due to clouds. End Quote

James Malm, the law mongering Chief Pharisee is not happy that his "observers" were usurped in their roles.

The Chief Pharisee responds:

In your link he is trying to deceive by using the term “Jerusalem time” and not mentioning that the location was actually at Eilat. There is no such thing as Jerusalem time. It is Israel Time throughout the entire country. He used that term to try and trick people. Beware of this person and his tricks.

I will make his email available to anyone who wants it.

FYI our COG new moon searchers have reported that: “the sky was completely covered in clouds and in fact raining in many of the environs around Jerusalem.” The new moon was not seen anywhere near Jerusalem. Brian Convery writes “It appears we have seen the same thing [about Nehemiah Gordon]. Yes he is an evil fellow but that is what happens when brethren entertain one who denies Christ. John has warned us about having nothing to do with them. I was just about to sit down and update the festivals page with the new dates.” James
