I am going to ignite a spiritual revival across the entire Spiritual Ekklesia and prepare a people for the advent of God’s two servants and the coming of the Bridegroom!

After suffering a public humiliation of mockery about his new YouTube channel, God's most important end time Chief Pharisee and bastardizer of the law, James Malm has decided that he will now move his kick off broadcast to next year.

The Chief Pharisee is quite adamant that he has no intention of being compared to our other resident foolish YouTuber, Bob Thiel of the improperly named "continuing" Church of God with his crooked bookcases, 1980's curtains, and door knobs.  Even Chief Pharisees see the bumbling mistakes of lesser church leaders. Though, we most likely will see the Chief Pharisees sitting at his kitchen table in his apartment pontificating away.

Pharisee Malm claims he is not going to impress anyone, but yet will IGNITE A PROFOUND REVIVAL OF PASSIONATE ZEAL.  There we go again, there is that word "zeal" that the Pharisee likes to throw out as a dagger to humiliate anyone who doesn't agree with him.  Don't agree, you have no zeal.  You are a Laodicean piece of trash.

Also, the Chief Pharisee says he is not going to waste an hour and a half preaching about innumerable topics or just taking too damn long to get a point across. He will get his point across in 10 minutes.

Ultimately though, the Chief Pharisee is going to start a worldwide explosion in the Church of God as he sets about preparing members to stand behind the two witnesses.

When pigs fly will be the day this ever happens!

Please note that I am not a polished speaker and I cannot come close to the nearly one million dollar studios, sets and recording equipment staffed by expert technicians; operated by the major COG entities.  They produce polished programs designed to impress people with a business model non offensive content sadly lacking in sound doctrine.  

I have absolutely no interest in producing such programs; my programs will NOT be designed to impress anyone, they will be designed to COMMUNICATE the truth and sound doctrine of the Word of God as plainly and understandably as possible.  

They will not be sermons designed to impress with polished oratory and rhetoric; they will be plain speaking designed to clearly and unambiguously COMMUNICATE the way of salvation and the sound doctrine of every Word of God, and to ignite a profound revival of passionate zeal to learn and live by every Word of God!  

These will be different from what many are used to, there will be no taking of an hour to say what could be easily explained in ten minutes.  Listeners who have not been grounded in sound doctrine over the years will have to stay awake and pay attention and they will have the Bible Studies site to go to for further study.  

The coming programs and the Bible Study site are intended to compliment one another, not to be copies of each other.  

The plan is to have the Bible Studies fully updated and to begin programs with a few talks on current events and prophecy as world events unfold and trends in the corporate COG’s become clearer.  I will not set any dates but I am working to prepare the brethren for the potential set up of the abomination and the start of the tribulation in late 2020.  

I will not hide my purpose:  My intention is to do all I can with the help of God, to ignite a spiritual revival across the entire Spiritual Ekklesia and prepare a people for the advent of God’s two servants and the coming of the Bridegroom!  

Do not despise small beginnings TheShiningLight will begin to make an impact;  as world events unfold interest will increase and as trends in the corporate COG groups become clearer, this work will champion a profound spiritual revival through both print and programs. 

I Didn't Say it, The Members Heard Me Wrong.

How many times have we heard various COG leaders and members deliberately LIE that Herbert Armstrong never set dates?

HWA: 5 - 20% MORE Money For Ministers - Members - Tighten up and sacrifice.

Pastor General Report 03/06/81

clipping by SHT

The 1980's was a time of extreme excess in the church.  Money was being spent on extravagant concerts, receptions with cases and cases of Dom Perignon and Rothschild wines, travelling international exhibits, courting royalty from Queen Sirikit to Mrs. Sadat, helping restore the Globe Theatre in London, putting money down on Hollywood films (The Wild Geese), helping restore the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia, helping fund the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, and much much more.  Include in this Herbert Armstrong buying more silver, gold and fine art.  

Add to this mess certain evangelists who remodelled their campus homes at church members expense, in some cases multiple times just because one evangelist's wife could not make up her mind. While all of this was going on, members were told to tighten their belts and send in more money so the work could accomplish its end time goals.  

Its fraudulent Plain Truth Newsstand program dropped millions of dollars over the decades claiming it was the largest circulated religious magazine in the world.  Hundreds of thousands of PT's were dumped in the trash every month by church members, PT distributors and Pasadena personnel, yet they all went towards that total that was spoon fed to the members as gospel truth.  

Why would anyone in Pasadena lie to the members?

Ron Weinland says to continue to save second tithe even though Jesus returns Pentecost 2019

Last year Ronnie Weinland, so far the only convicted Church of God felon, made the proclamation that  his creature "jesus" was returning on Pentecost 2019.  After the feast, felon Ronnie must have realized what a false prophet he is and is now telling his dwindling flock that they must save second tithe to prepare for the Feast next year.

“You’ve got to plan ahead in your life. Not like some did for 2012 where people were ready to quit jobs and everything else. Well, we learned a lesson from that. If there are some reasons, whatever they might be, and we don’t know what they are, and something can go beyond that, so be it. God knows what He’s doing and He’ll let us know at some point what we need to see.

So, anyway, you keep doing it. Some questions have come up, can it be used for different things like coming into Phoenix or to Cincinnati. No, it’s not a holy day. Now, there has been a time, one time in the past where some were being allowed to do that because of the focus we had, because of what was believed as strongly as it was at that point. But not now. You keep it for the holy days, holy days only.

“Some have asked about excess they’ve had after the Feast. You can save it for the next year. If you know you’re going to do something different, maybe go somewhere else if we go on, and you want to go to another place that’s going to take more money or maybe your finances have been cut back for whatever reason and you’re on the edge as it was for going to the Feast this past year, and yet you still had a little bit left, you can save that aside for next year. Now, if you’re doing exceedingly well and you know you have far more than what you need then yes, sometimes, you know, a person turns that in, excess second tithe, which is used in the following year, can be used to help others attend a Feast or for whatever purpose deemed necessary by God’s Church.

Ronnie also laid down a new law to the gathered faithful.  They were to no longer treat the Feast as a time for giving lots of presents.  The Feast has been a regular Christmas giving season.

“I do want to make a comment that it’s not a time of passing gifts around, of thinking you’ve got to give gifts to different ones or everybody in an area. This isn’t Christmas. People shouldn’t feel obligated to have to give a gift to one another. You know, if you want to give a gift to some, to a few or whatever, that’s fine, you know, something that is special that you know would help them or be encouraging to them, that’s fine. But sometimes we get in certain places, certain areas where people have this feeling that they’ve got to do it year after year. No, you don’t. Again, it’s not making up for Christmas. It’s not feeling like you’ve got to pass out gifts to everybody, or whatever, or people get expecting of gifts or whatever. So please don’t do that.

You are allowed to buy a few prices of clothing though to upgrade your current rags, but not a new wardrobe like Ronnie and Laura do.

Some have asked about clothing. Can you use second tithe for clothing? Well, it’s fine to, if you want to upgrade something, like for the Feast of Tabernacles, but not your whole wardrobe, not for something for the entire year, you know. Buying this or that, a pair of shoes, whatever, in the past I’d have said a suit, but I’m not worried about that any more, a special tie... well, we’re not doing that necessarily. If you want to upgrade something, fine, if you have ability to do that. But again, you don’t go on a great big shopping spree just because it’s that time of year and it’s not even going to hardly be used at the Feast. It’s about the Feast of Tabernacles. So that’s what you’ve got to keep in mind.

Church of God-Preparing for the Kingdom of God members need to stop saving that money for some dumb Feast with Ronnie and Laura and use that money for themselves.  Take a vacation, buy new clothes, pay off some credit cards, and enjoy life as it was meant to be. Stop supporting the certified liar Ronnie and his sick family. These two are no more the two witnesses than Bob Thiel is a minister of God. Peoples lives are too important to God than to be subject to all of these bottom feeders of Armstrongism.
