Satan Is A Frustrated Hermaphrodite

More fun from Jeff Dugger: A Small Voice FAQ

Many who agree with your stance on Gen. 6 allege that Satan and Eve had sex producing Cain. Do you agree to this teaching? Absolutely not! God's word clearly states that Cain was the product of Adam and Eve (Gen. 4:1). There is no passage in Scripture where a sexual union between Satan and Eve is ever spoken of. Those who promote otherwise speak directly against God's written word. (Our research reveals Satan to be a very frustrated and hermaphroditic entity. Hence, there is hardly any chance at all of Eve ever being able to become impregnated by such a creature. Hermaphrodites don't reproduce very easily according to God's laws of physics.)

COG: "Earth Cake" or Fruitcake?

The "earth cake" theory.  Bet you never heard that one preached in a COG before have you? It certainly sounds more interesting than hearing HWA bellow on about the two trees week after week.

Here is what Jeff Dugger from A Small Voice has to say:

This "earth-cake" theory asserts that God placed the pre-fallen Lucifer on Earth (along with one third of the angels), to better complete what was supposed to have been an already perfect creation. God does not create in any other fashion than perfection. The analogy of the Earth being represented as a baked cake with the angels being ordered to frost the unfinished sweet concoction is often thrust forward as an explanation. Another analogy in this same line of reasoning portrays Earth as a piece of newly constructed furniture, with the angels being sent by God to sand, stain and varnish our planet to a final and better completed product. 


Scripture never states that God placed Lucifer on Earth to do any type of finishing work at all, unless one assumes God to be represented symbolically as the red dragon of Rev. 12--which is wholly impossible. This theory attempts to show that Lucifer was transformed from super-angel into the Devil while on Earth, and subsequently traveled to Heaven in an attempt to knock God from His throne. However, the text cannot possibly support such a scenario. It's abundantly clear from Rev. 12:3-4 that it was Satan, no longer the good guy super-angel, who was responsible for sending one third of the angels to Earth, and not God.

Instead of "earth cake" I think this more aptly describes him:

UCG's Unique Money Saving Plan

The WCG always had a liberal policy of reimbursing ministers for personal items.  This ranged anywhere from household food, alcohol, lawn care, clothing, and even condoms and women's sanitary supplies.  Many times there would be really strange things purchased and the church would pay for it.

Then the huge blow-up happened and tens of thousands went off to form new church corporations where these procedures were carried over.  UCG though, but the brakes on reimbursement for alcohol last year soon after COGWA split off.  I am sure this was a huge disappointment to several in the UCG ministry. Some of them are well know for their prolific alcohol collections and consumption.

I wonder how many tens of thousands of dollars have been saved over the last year?

Malm: Animals Suffer To Teach Us A Lesson About Satan

One of the apostate apostle's acolytes wrote to him asking why animals have to suffer.  According to Malm, animals have to suffer in order to make us realize how mean Satan is so that we will not rebel against God in the Kingdom. 

My question to you is this. Why do you think a Loving and merciful God lets millions of animals suffer everyday all over the world.
No one has answered this for me. With your wisdom and relationship with the almighty you may understand this.
Thank You

Right now this world belongs to Satan and God is letting Satan have his way within certain limits. Even humanity suffers greatly. In the kingdom God will take away the wild nature of even the beasts and the lion will lie peacably with the lamb and the wolf will play with the kid.
It is also true that God creted all things for a purpose; some were created for sacrificial purposes to teach us lessons; others were reated for other purposes. We are to use what God has crated for the purposes that God intended and receive that with thanksgiving.
I dare say that all the suffering and death is to teach us so thoroughly that the ways of Satan and the results they bring are so hideous that we will get so full of the horror of iot that once eternity has come, we will never rebel as he did. James

It is Not Safe For the True COG to Worship In This Age

Armstrongism has always had the strange practice of holding church services in Masonic Lodges, Elk's Lodges, and Odd Fellows Halls.  Making that practice even more strange are the numerous articles put out by the church criticizing those organizations as satanic.

We now have a COG splinter cult here in CA asking why the COG's continue this practice.  But before they get to that, they want you to know how dangerous it is for COG's to meet together on Saturdays.  I don't know what planet this splinter cult is on, but there has been no hindrance to any COG meeting in the United States.

Affordable, convenient, comfortable, and safe places to formally worship God are very difficult to find. However, the practice of the Father's  true religion is not convenient, comfortable, or safe in this age. The elect of God are limited in almost every endeavor they attempt in this evil world, and to use monetary justification,  convenience, and comfort as the foremost criteria or as an excuse to use the facilities of this world's religions seems to be missing the point of the many instructions of God that require a true Christian to separate themselves  from false religious systems  and false gods.

Questions to Consider

• Why  would a true Christian want to meet in a building that is dedicated to the worship of a false religion and god?
• Why would a true Christian want to worship the true God surrounded by idols,  paintings, and symbols that clearly violate the first two of the Ten Commandments?  
• Knowing how God feels  about false religious systems and their practices and places of  worship,  can a true Christian offer up praise to him and worship him within a building or a place dedicated to a false god in good conscience? Congregation of God, San Jose CA

Ron Weinland: "My Work Is Nearly Complete"

Armstrongism has had a long history of men who think they have an inside channel to God's master plan.  Over the decades they have run off at the mouth with some incredibly STUPID things.  Such as these lies from Dale Schurter, Herman Hoeh, Rod Meredith, and Herbert Armstrong:

4) 1964 Coworkers letter: "only 7 years before H-bomb warfare breaks out"

5) May 1965 PT: "Hitler will be falsely resurrected by the Pope"

6) Feb 1965: by Meredith: "documented proof Hitler did not die in his bunker"

8) 13 Dec 1965, HWA in co-workers letter: "We are in the grand smash climax - only 6 years left."

11) 1955 PT by Hoeh: "within 20 years this nation will be toppled by worst drought in its history" - note: 1975 US had one of greatest grain surpluses and sold it to Soviets

17) April 1956 PT by Hoeh: "Disease epidemics threaten US in 2 years"

22) 1934 PT: "Christ will return in 1936"

23) 1940 PT: "Christ will come after 3.5 years of tribulation in October 43"

24) 1982 Coworkers letter: (for those who claim he mellowed with the years) "I hope to arrange for the use of Petra as a possible refuge or place of safety during the Great Tribulation when I see King Hussein. Pray for this please."

25) 1960's PT repeatedly claimed 1972 would be the year of Christ's coming

26) after 1969: HWA claimed it would be 1975

27) first half of 1950's PT: Christ would return in 1957

36) Gerald Waterhouse continually: if HWA died, God would destroy the world

48) April/May 1978 Worldwide News: HWA teaches you can only come to Christ through him through government structure: cut yourself off from Christ if you disobey HWA

61) 1966 PT by Dale Schurter: prepare for famine in US within 3-5 years; note - hundreds of WWCG farmer members bankrupted following his teaching that fertilizer was sinful

  71) Turkey will prevent the United States Sixth Fleet from fleeing from Nazi European air attacks and will stab America and Britain in the back. It will later be destroyed for this treachery. - Plain Truth articles by Hoeh, Herbert and Meredith in the 1960s.

89) He and Dale Schurter warned farmers against using nitrate fertilizers claiming it would ruin their lands and would cause famines around the world. Instead, nitrate fertilizers, developed after the turn of the century, have fed billions of people. It was farmers who followed HWA who were ruined when they suddenly abandoned all fertilizers on his urging and went immediately to compost heaps without easing their land off it. Hundreds or thousands of families were ruined.

92) From 1950s onward, HWA and Hoeh: King Hussein of Jordan will grant the WWCG a tribulation-time "place of safety" at Petra. 1994, King Hussein is dying of colon cancer. Extreme Islamic fundamentalists are threatening to topple his dynasty and seize Jordan.

108) March 1950 PT: "One third of our people will die from starvation ... - and in the next FEW YEARS!" Is 48 years just "a FEW YEARS!"?

120) August 1957 PT: Another old favorite still with us today. Roderick Meredith: "at the conclusion of the drought and floods we are now just beginning to suffer this nation is going to be punished by horrifying DISEASE EPIDEMICS - plagues." When? He approvingly cites a 1956 Plain Truth title: 'Disease Epidemics Threaten USA in Two Years!" Clearly, 1958 was meant. Meredith continued, "In addition to those warnings ...we will soon find that hoof-and-mouth disease will spread COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL!" The only thing that spread out of control, then and the next 40 years, was the disease of his own big mouth.

149) PT, June 1963 - Roderick Meredith gets his knickers in a twist claiming that a "Protestant leader credited the Roman priests of Europe as being 'the minds behind the (European Common) Market', the real planners of this coming Holy Roman Empire which is prophesied to arise in Europe and CONQUER America and Britain within the next 10 to 12 years ... It is later than you think."

34 years on from that remark, meredith continues to sound off on such subjects, still without humility, without shame. In fact, the true "Minds behind" the European Community after World War II were Robert Schumann, Jean Monnet and - most of all - Winston Churchill, whom herbert had already predicted years before would be conquered by Hitler.

156) PT, February 1965: Roderick Meredith - "Dozens of prophesied events indicate that this final revival of the Roman Empire in Europe -and its bestial persecution of multitudes of Bible-believing Christians - will take place within the next seven to ten years of YOUR LIFE!"

Yet another false prophecy, another foul lie. In fact, the years 1967-70 saw the Catholic Church charity organization Caritas make far greater and more successful relief efforts to save hundreds of thousands of starving children (hundreds of thousands died anyway) in the Nigerian Civil War than all other groups combined. The 1966 Medellin accords opened a new era of respect and support for human rights in the Catholic Church throughout Latin America. The complete list of 209 failed prophecies is here: Herbert Armstrong's 209 False Prophecies

      
There you have a record of some of the lies that have been spewing from the mouths of the "enlightened" evangelists, ministers and apostles of the Church.  Every single one of them have proven to be liars.


You would think that given this horrendous track record of lies and false prophecies uttered in the Church that other splinter cult leaders would have learned to keep their mouths shut.  Sadly, they have not learned a lesson from the past.


Today, the biggest liar and fool that the Church has is Ron Weinland.  Weinland claims he is THE end time prophet, that he is one of the two witnesses, and the last apostle for this age.


He has published and said  so many foolish and stupid things that he has no credibility anymore.  Yet, like the EverReady Bunny, he keeps on going.


On April 29, 2012 he had this to say about his awesome revelations:

As readers of this site know, May 27, 2012, is the time that I have stated as being the date Jesus Christ will return as King of kings over all government on this earth. For such an event to come to pass, the Trumpets of Revelation must all sound, the United States and dollar collapse, the ten nations of Europe arise to fulfill the final revival of the Holy Roman Empire, and Russia with China must unite against Europe in WWIII.

But as the last apostle in this age, and as God’s end-time prophet, I am still telling people that this is true and that a short-lived WWIII is now at our doorstep. Due to this strong conviction, the Church of God – PKG is putting all its resources into promoting this final message of Christ’s impending return in order to complete the “work” that God has given us to do. This “work” is nearly complete. As my previous post was written over two months ago, this may well prove to be my final one, since there are only four weeks remaining in this age.

Then a wave of sanity briefly kicks Ronnie in the ass and he rambles on about things maybe not happening according to plan because God is "merciful."  I guess on Monday morning  May 28th when the sun rises, Weinalnd will be saying, "God has shown great mercy on the church because it is not ready and has therefore delayed the coming of Jesus Christ."  That is the same broken record the liars of Armstrongism have been saying for 70 some years now.  The dumb sheep are not ready and God has to delay his awesome plan of death and destruction.

When I began writing posts for this site, I initially envisioned the possible need of writing more often, primarily due to our preparing for the possibility of “great tribulation” beginning at the very start of this final three and one-half year period. However, great physical tribulation did not begin at that time, and it thankfully has not yet begun. So the need to write more often in order to help people deal with tribulation that could have begun early on has not been needed. But rather, in the midst of horrifying prophecies for this end-time, God has revealed in a most powerful manner one of His greatest attributes toward His creation—toward mankind. It is the awesome quality of “mercy”!

Then, I guess Weinland's brain fart is over and he says:

A fast approaching fixed date of May 27th for Christ’s return does not seem reasonable to people. It just does not seem right. Throughout time, those things that God has given to people in the form of prophecy and instruction just do not seem right to mankind. Human nature has always resisted the true ways of God.

 Those in the world and in the Church that was scattered who hear (or read) what I have said about the timing of Christ’s return and all the horrific end-time events that will precede it respond in similar manner—with utter disbelief. Oftentimes, the response is also mixed with ridicule, slander, anger, mockery, chiding, correction and a seemingly endless barrage of other negative human emotions regarding the “message.” God actually addresses this exact kind of response, for this exact moment in time, by a prophecy given through Ezekiel (Ez. 12).

For all of you that mock Weinerdude and his prophecy this is what is in store for you:

God says He will scatter such people and they will be taken into captivity. This next part will make many mad and upset with me, but this is from God and not from me. This is speaking of the vast majority of the Church that was scattered after the apostasy. They have become so spiritually sluggish that they cannot and will not accept truth that God has given since the apostasy—truth that He has given to His end-time prophet.

Weinland ends with this:

God’s timing is based on the day He has set for the return of His Son as world ruler. God will allow mankind to begin his final war, but He will also quickly stop it. The reason should be obvious! “Why” massive destruction from end-time events has not yet begun is due to the reality of how massive such a war will become as soon as it starts. Once a single nuclear device is detonated, and it will happen very soon now, who will refrain themselves from retaliating? Who will be the first to limit the response of their attack once the cycle begins?

It is because of such destructive power in the hands of mankind that God has shown that if He did not intervene quickly, once such a conflagration begins, mankind would destroy itself. That is exactly what God is going to do. He will cut short the war that man begins, and He will do so on May 27th, which is also the day Jesus Christ returns.

I am going to have a great bottle of wine, grill some shrimp and steak on the night of the 27th as I watch the sun set; while laughing with some other ex-COGers at yet another idiotic Church of God minister made a public fool of himself.

How Cults Rewire The Brain

Van Robison: "Truth is Always a Threat"

Truth is Always a Threat

The greatest control systems on earth are the religions of the world and the governments of the world.  Anyone who bucks the status quo with alternative thinking is always considered a "threat."  Truth frightens those who assume power and control over common people.  Truth is opposed, suppressed, criticized, ridiculed, mocked, scorned, laughed at and censored.  Truth is considered "propaganda", heretical, satanic, despised and hated. Truth is fought tenaciously, and truth tellers or whistleblowers are often silenced, assassinated in character and sometimes even physically.

Every religious culture perceives truth on the basis of their programmed minds.  It applies as much to the world of "Christian" churches, as it does Hinduism, Buddhism,  Islam, Judaism and all other religions on earth.  There are divisions and often many, within each religious culture.  We all know that there is a world of difference in the "Christian" churches and yet all consider themselves as knowing and understanding truth in God.  Governments of men also live in constant and perpetual FEAR, and this is more than evident.  All governments exist through brute force and the fact that there is any military upon planet earth is total proof of FEAR.

Religions and governments are not however the only control systems in life on earth, because there are many.  Those in power and control, as for example of the medical system, the vaccine industry, the prison system, the enforcement system, the insurance system, the banking system and so forth, all "think" they are God, in their particular expertise and that all the world should bow to these systems.  Who among those in power and control ever asks the question: "is there a better way?"

What is really done upon planet earth for the good of common people or for humanity, as opposed to special interests groups?  Governments generally exist to serve special interests, all the while they pretend to serve the public. People in power, whether in the church pulpits, governments and their agencies or special interest, generally HATE opposition to their power over others.  What "pastor" standing in a pulpit wants to be challenged?  Many pastors of churches are really tyrants and present themselves as having "authority", when in reality they have none whatsoever.  Why do people live in FEAR of these pulpit-freaks?

Authority figures in the world of churches are really 100% all self-appointed, or at the least "appointed" by other self-ordained church leaders.  People who challenge the man-made clergy/laity or priest class of rulers are always looked upon as skunks, when the real truth is that the "professional" clergy are the real skunks who deceive the simple minded lambs and fleece their wool.  Every splinter group of the Worldwide Church of God, without exception is nothing more than a fraud and a deception and they exist for no other reason than free $money.  Truth is always a threat to those who consider themselves "servants" in the pulpits, when in reality they are NOT servants at all they are bullies in power over weak-minded church goers.  Ok granted, some preachers are sincere and are self-deceived, thinking that the clergy/laity system is of God, when it is not.

Apostle Malm Not Ready To Baptize Acolytes - YET...

The apostate apostle claims to have acolytes asking to be baptized into his new splinter cult.  He is telling them he does not have that ability at the moment and to wait.  The day is apparently coming. 

A point on baptism:  I personally have people asking for baptism that I cannot accommodate because of a lack of means at this time.  I am confidant that, that will be remedied in due course.  What if a diligent lover of God and his commandments dies before he can be baptised?  God will judge him on his commandment keeping, in the same way that he will judge Abel and Noah who were neither circumcised nor baptized.

Circumcision and baptism are only symbols fo our commitment and there will by very many baptised people who will NOT be in God’s kingdom through their failure to overcome and keep the commandments of God.

There will be many who repent and even die for the faith in the imminent tribulation who will not have the opportunity to be baptised.  Baptism IS commanded and we are to do so at the earliest opportunity, yet it is far more important to love the Father enough to keep ALL of his commandments with passionate zeal; not just be baptised.

Just being baptised and attending some corporate church does NOT mean you have a pass into eternal life!

Ron Weinland: "Never Mind Lad's, Same Time Tomorrow..."

Ron Weinland has been passing a mighty wind over the last few weeks leading up to the return of this creature he calls "christ" on May 27th. Sadly his dwindling flock will be just like the people in this video. They will all be back, "same time tomorrow" after Ron's delightful failure on the 27th.

Joel Olsteen On Pork

This will certainly get COG groups tongues wagging! I think I will go out and get a BLT sandwich in honor of Joel today.  Or maybe a chicken sandwich.  I grew up around chickens that ate dead chickens, ate it's own feces and other delightful clean things......yummy!

How Does Your COG Spend Your Tithe Money?

The Silenced blog has a great entry today on how the Churches of God use tithe money of the members to fund their various "ministries".  It is The Myth of Free Literature  Most assume that their tithe money goes towards "proclaiming the gospel to the world."  In reality a small percentage goes towards that kind of outreach while a huge amount goes to salaries for lifestyle upkeep.  Note that this does not only apply to UCG, but to RCG, PCG, LCG, and most of the other COG's.

7. If we assume there are about 10,000 baptized members left in UCG after the COGWA split (this is the estimate most popularly thrown about), and if they all had an average annual income of around $42,000, of which $1,281 was being sunk into media projects, this would give the a cult a yearly warchest of $12,810,000 for literature and broadcasts, of which its cheap printing and primarily web-based video productions cannot possibly cost that much. Factoring in GNM’s supposed 450,000 circulation, that would give UCG about $28.50 to spend per copy. It costs a fraction of that to print each run of the magazine. After six runs, they would have some of that left over.

8. Using these calculations, this family is paying $2,919 straight to ministerial salaries and other overhead costs per year through First Tithes and only $1,281 to print, web and broadcast projects. But the reality would be slightly different, since there are also annual offerings and whatever the COG can suck out of a family’s Second Tithe over the festival season, making the true cost much higher and more difficult to calculate.

Years ago, one of WCG's accounting men publicly stated that the Church could, "take any figure and make it say want they wanted it to say."  In other words, financial pictures and statements could be manipulated towards whatever direction the "church" wanted it to go to.

That's one of the reasons people do not believe Dave Pack when he says that the Restored Church of God has a huge money base to fund all of his earth shattering ministries.  It's no wonder he refused to release financial statements.  If he did the world would know him to be the deceiver he is.

Dennis On: "Foolishness of Preaching or Preaching of Foolishness?"

Foolishness of Preaching or Preaching of Foolishness?

1 Corinthians 1:21
For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe.

I have to say that I do miss teaching an attentive group of people who simply want to know the truth of the matters placed before them.  Alas...it is what it is.  In my earlier years I gave many a sincere sermon that now makes me cringe knowing the information was less than accurate and the truth of it all was less than true.  But it's a journey, at least for me, and the key is not in what one used to preach or teach but what one has learned through the years and the personal growth in "grace and knowledge" one has actually accomplished in life.  "Growing in grace and knowledge" is not actually one of the positive traits of most churches most of us know.  Grace is only extended when not really needed or just needed for the self and knowledge....well forget that.

Ministers surely do say some incredibly stupid things in the name of preaching.  I suppose this could be easily illustrated by the last three years of sermons given by Ronald Weinland, but I spare us.  This should end or get substantially worse in the next few weeks.

I was never personally comfortable giving sermons on such things as The Place of Safety, British Israelism and tithing.  The first two seemed irrelevant to actual religious belief in the real world and all of the NT message, and I hated reminded people of what we already knew.  It takes money to do "the Work."  I don't recall many times where those over me reminded the brethren to give as they were able.

The concept of the Place of Safety was not only annoying but at times terrifying when I thought of how few thought HWA would die before the time.  I always hoped he would so that would end the idea of "HWA says it's time to flee."  Most of you know that the visits of Gerald Waterhouse , to me, were exercises in the exact art of preaching foolishness.  I felt that back when I was in my 20's.  I was right.

The COGs have many foolish teachings and they usually center around on just how do we "do things," like putting leaven out or eating out on Sabbath.  Some groups become experts in foolish preaching and never get around to the core message of the NT.  Mixing the OT and the NT has been raised to an art form by some.  You know, old wine in new wine skins...kaboom!  

There are foolish preachings about "science falsely so called."  The facts of evolution and a 4.5 billion year old earth are just too much handle.  Human origins as opposed to the Adam and Eve myth are way beyond their comprehension or the fact that those OT stories were never written to advance true scientific discovery.  They had meanings, but not the ones foolish preaching assigns.

Somehow the tithing admonitions are dredged up from the Old Testament, but the ones advocating stoning rebellious children or sabbath breakers are listed as "the old ways."  Men can't have long hair because Paul aid nature tells us it is wrong, but far as I know, lions have the best manes in town and the lioness seems rather bald.  I have never figured out just how Paul's foolish comments about that were to be understood.  "Time is short," was also one of Paul's more foolish preaching concepts.

I am sure the more recent "foolishness of preaching" topics are endless in the COGs.

Some include:

• Me and my wife are the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11
• Jesus is coming back in a couple weeks
• Revelation 11 is about the WCG apostasy
• Man is still 6000 years old
• Send it in
• "And yes brethren, I am an Apostle..."
• God needs a new college
• God needs a new house
• God needs us to give him money (He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. Can't He sell some?)
• Fatima is somehow relevant to us today
• Revelations and the Mayans are right!
• The Mayans and the Wiffenpoof Indian prophecies are meaningful
• Women are still less important than men
• Men are the leaders  (wow...pretty well proven false by those with eyes to see)
• There is a place of safety still  (Resurrection avoidance?)
• God's puzzle has been solved!
• Noah's flood accounts for all world geology
• The story of Noah is really really true and it could happen
• All language started at Babel 
• If I came from a monkey, how come we still have monkeys around today!
• We are not to wear sunglasses because the eye is the light of the body... (one of my personal favorites I was personally told.)

and so on...

What foolish preaching have you heard over the years?  What nutcase personal opinions are stuck in your mind to this day?  Why do people listen to such stupid and ignorant teachings from the pulpit and never speak up?  Will the congregants or followers of the lone wolf preacher of foolish things ever stand up for themselves and call the man out on it.

Foolishness of Preaching...or Preaching foolishness?

Another Worldwide Church of God Property Sold to So Called Christians! Gasp!

More shocking news from the real estate division of the Worldwide Church of God.  First they disposed of the Big Sandy Campus to Alert Academy a conservative Christian "humanitarian" organization.  Then Pasadena went to the Harvest Rock personality cult and Maranatha High School.  Now the Australian Feast site in the Blue Mountains of Australia  has been sold to MORE Christians! Gasp!  Protestants or so-called "Christians" as Bob Thiel like to arrogantly label them. Imagine that, Christians using a COG facility. Shocking, I know!

This is the site of the old WCG Feast of Tabernacles in the Blue Mts, Australia - http://www.mountainscc.nsw.edu.au/ - sold to another organisation some years ago. It has since been re-sold and now a protestant college.

E W King and His Persecutors

God's mightiest man on earth is now traveling to various locations to deliver his inspiring sermons.  He was in California recently give  one of his mind expanding talks.  Even the Hare Krishna's were in awe of him. 

Recently Mr. E.W.King gave a public talk in down town San Jose California. In this talk Mr. King addressed the problems with what he called “modern Christianity”. He addressed issues such as syncretism, paganism, occultism and then addressed issues regarding the worlds numerous religion. Mr. King’s knowledge regarding world religions helped him answer many questions.

The talk gathered many people including some Hare Krishnas. The talk lasted a little more than an hour and was fruitful. Mr. King promoted his current booklet regarding the Seven Seals Prophecy. Mr. King addressed many issues regarding the subject of the Seven Seals. This included talk of UFO’s and current New Age thought.

 Then he was asked a question about those of us who mock him.  He responds:

Finally, Mr. King was asked about certain bloggers who attack his teachings. Mr. King addressed this issue with Scripture. Mr. King said that; “These bloggers who attack me and what I teach are simply fulfilling prophecy…Jesus said that His true followers would be persecuted.” He then went on to say that nobody is persecuting them and that all should pray for them and show Christ’s love.

I don't think he really needs to worry about us making fun of him when he preaches sermons on UFO's and failed prophecy.  He makes an ass of himself all by himself!

Mr. King gives talk about those attacking his teachings

Apparently Mr. King is like Mr. Pack, who also likes to refer to himself as Mr.

Have No Fear! HWA Is Here!

Herbert Armstrong has been resurrected!  

Our salvation is secure!  

He has come back to put the church BACK ON TRACK and to prepare us for Petra and into glory!  

He cares so much for us all that he has set up a Facebook page to gather in all the wayward backsliders.  His vital end time message will soon be going out to all the world. Again....

Word has it he was none to happy when he came back onto the campus in Pasadena.  

He found a tongues talking personalty cult in the auditorium, so called Christians running a school, and the Health Center torn down and condo's going up.  Non COG people are living in in Manor Del Mar and Mayfair and a company using his house as a business adventure.  

The biggest blasphemy of all was seeing a cross in the gymnasium amphitheater.  He had previously banished crosses from the Auditorium when an opera company was using them for a Tosca production and now this!

Since he set this page up on April 28th, he obviously had to have been resurrected prior to this. 

 Maybe Easter?

Big Dude Breaks Ground With Second-Rate Shovel

Dave Pack broke ground on a ROAD this week for his new cult HQ project.  Since Dave thinks he channels HWA in all aspects, I wonder why he missed the mark and broke ground with a silver shovel?  Is this a subtle reminder that Packs's cult HQ is second rate to HWA's?  Everyone in the COG knows that real apostles break ground with GOLD plated shovels.

Dave still has not been granted funding by a bank for his new project.  However, he now claims that his membership has given all the money he needs.

It's funny seeing them in the middle of a field trying to look important with their hard hats on.  As if anything dangerous is going to hit them, other than maybe some bird crap.

Headquarters staff, volunteers, ministers, wives and children gathered on Thursday, May 10, for the official onsite groundbreaking ceremony commencing construction of its new World Headquarters Complex in Wadsworth, Ohio. The ceremony took place where the cornerstone of the 40,000 square foot Hall of Administration will be laid.

Mr. David Pack turned the first shovel of earth and gave the signal for construction to begin on the temporary road that will lead to the construction site. Permits for this phase of the project were granted by the City of Wadsworth, and enable Medina County to now issue the final shell permits to begin excavation.

The Restored Church of God Staff Attends Groundbreaking Ceremony

Transformed by the 'spirit' in UCG. REALLY?????

United Church of God has a report up about it's recent conference.  Just typical "we are family" and "we all need to get along" stuff.  However, one "keynote speaker" was Ray Wright.

Later in the day there was another keynote address from Ray Wright, pastor of the Dallas, Texas, congregation. He spoke on being “Transformed by the Spirit of God,” showing that God expects a total transformation in us when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. We become “a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

I am appalled that this man is still being allowed to minister in a Church of God congregation considering his horrible background in Worldwide.  He was kicked out of Worldwide for embezzling money, not once, but TWICE!  He would be sent into exile and then a couple years later he would be back and some moron would allow him access to church money again.  He has been sued multiple times, and may have even spent time in jail, can't remember on that part. At one point in time he and his family were living in Texas over the top of one of his fake businesses that got him into trouble. Several WCG ministers were jailed for money scams involving cars and investments in the late 80's/early 90's.

He and his wife used to cause a stink every Saturday in Pasadena when they would show up for church fashionably late in the middle of the sermonette and saunter in their expensive clothes down the aisle to a front row seat that they EXPECTED to be waiting for them.  They soon became the laughing stock of the church.

But never fear, Wright is the authority on being "transformed by the spirit." He's a "new creation."  This man should NOT be ministering to any congregation, anywhere!

Official Spokesman of the Living Church of God Publishes New Book

Fatima Shock!

Bob Thiel, the Official Spokesperson of the Living Church of God on prophecy and doctrine, has just published another book.  This will most likely join a long line of screeds against the Catholic church that no one ever reads.  His biggest audience will be COGers and anti-Catholic evangelicals who think he knows what he is talking about.

The prophet writes:

For those unfamiliar with Fatima, Fatima was the name of Muhammad’s favorite daughter.  Muslims often name their daughters Fatima (similar to Catholics naming their daughters Mary).  A small town in Portugal was renamed Fatima after a Muslim princess named Fatima converted to Roman Catholicism.  In 1917, three children claimed to have a series of monthly visits from an apparition who finally identified herself with the rosary.  The apparition is known as “Our Lady of Fatima” or “the Virgin of Fatima” (she never referred to herself as Mary).  Hollywood did a movie about this decades ago called The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima (which I have seen).

The apparition, which many in the Catholic world believe was Jesus’ mother Mary, gave various “secrets,” several of which were not written down until after they had apparently been fulfilled.  Many believe that Fatima holds the key to the future and that the forces of evil can be stopped if various portions of the messages of Fatima are heeded.

------

Although most non-Catholics do not think that Fatima can affect them, if they live long enough this century, they will find that this is not the case.  Fatima is a much bigger deal than people realize and seems to tie into a variety of prophecies throughout the Bible (e.g. Isaiah 47, Matthew 24, 2 Thessalonians 2, Revelation 17).

The truth about Fatima, the messages of Fatima, the “secrets” of Fatima, the Vatican’s views of Fatima, and how Fatima is expected to impact the future are all covered in detail in Fatima Shock!

Fatima Shock! also, and mainly from Catholic writings, exposes where the “rosary” came from, where many “dogmas of Mary” came from, and explains how Satan has used apparitions in the past to interfere with the Church of God and to promote non-biblical “Christianity.”  Fatima Shock! also explains what appears to be Satan’s plans for apparitions in the future based upon biblical and other prophecies.
