Atonement and the futility of legalism

On Wednesday, September 19, is the traditional day for the Churches of God to observe The Day of Atonement.  That date is pretty standard across the board for the COG's, except for one malevolent personality cult.  That group, led by the Great Pharisee of the Church of God James Malm, has picked a different date.

While everyone else in the world can easily pick out proper dates for holiday/holydays, Pharisee Malm has his crew of moonbeamers sitting on cold rocks in Israel, with binoculars in hand, straining to be the person to catch the very first glimpse of a new moon.  This year the Great Pharisee got waylaid by some clouds in the region of his moonbeamer, who was not able to see the new moon break forth.  However, just five miles up the road Avraham Baruch was able to see the new moon in all its glory and normalcy descended upon the devout in Israel and elsewhere.

Due to the missed sightings by his moonbeam brigade, The Great Pharisee had this to say about Atonement:

16 Sep:   Because the Fast of Atonement is on a Friday this year it is very important to properly prepare for the Sabbath on Thursday.  Be sure to have your casserole, stew. pot roast, soup or whatever you prepare for the Sabbath, ready and in the fridge by Thursday afternoon: Then you can just warm and serve after the fast and on the Sabbath!

This is a prime example of what legalism does to the brains of the obsessed devout as they struggle with trying to impress the god they can never impress.

Are you "rubberwristed" and take dainty little walks and wear glasses? GHASTLY!

We like to mock Rod Meredith and his sick obsession with sex, but his spiritual daddy was just as sex-obsessed as he was. What is with the sick obsession COG leaders have with sex? So many of them were living immoral lives while they were lecturing members on sex.

Herb and crew wanted the perfect specimens of manhood filling up the college and church. Even people with glasses did not make the cut in the ideal white world of the chosen people.

This is why Rod Meredith, Gerald Flurry, Gerald Weston, the entire UCG ministry and all the other splinter groups made sure their incomes were intact before they jumped ship to start new splinter groups. Faith and doctrine was never the main issue; the almighty dollar was the god they followed.

The Church of God Teaching On Racial Mutants: As Taught At Imperial Schools, Pasadena

Clips from "Exploring Ancient History"

(Comment by NO2HWA:   This is what the Church of God thought was appropriate to teach the youth at Imperial Schools. This is also what was believed as revealed "truth" to the church which supported some of its racial segregation tendencies.  Racial intermarriages were highly frowned upon since it diluted the pure bloodline of Israel.  White's are pictured as "moral" human beings while non-whites were the bedrock of immorality. Intermixing of races causes  people to go "completely BERSERK, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually!"  The sad thing that today in 2018, many COG members still believe this.)
