UCG John Elliot: UCG is Struggling With Keeping West Africa Members in the Church and Says There is Another Split Coming to UCG

The United Church of God is facing more issues in it's struggle to keep its self unified as one body.

John Elliot, in his sermon on February 15, says that UCG is struggling to keep disillusioned church members in West Africa in the fold.  There are UCG members there that are seeking to be more strict in their sabbath keeping and are starting to swallow the "new moon" baloney that some in the COG are trying to imprison members with.

It seems that other COG legalists, who are intent on holding members in bondage to the law instead of letting them live in the freedom of Jesus and grace, are influencing the UCG members in West Africa.  Armstrongsm has always had a segment that worshiped the law more than the Giver.  Living under a task master is more safe than being free in Christ.  They conveniently forget that...

• One cannot be justified or saved by the law of Moses (Acts 13:39).

• A Christian who seeks to be justified by the old law has “fallen from grace” (Galatians 5:4).

• One who desires to keep the law of Moses is obligated to keep not just part of it, but all of it! Such a person is “a debtor to do the whole law” (Galatians 5:3). Under the old covenant the Jews were commanded to offer animal sacrifices to God, travel to the place that God appointed (Jerusalem) to keep annual feasts (Passover, etc.), stone to death those who blaspheme the name of the Lord, every seventh year (the “Sabbath” year) refrain from planting crops and do many other things. Again, if we say that we ought to follow the old law, then it ought to be 100% or not at all!

• It is impossible to keep both the law of Moses and the teaching of Christ at the same time. There are just too many differences! Should Christians Follow the Law of Moses?

James Malm, one of Armstrongism's biggest legalists has this up today:

I have been holding back on certain UCG news about West Africa, but since John Elliot has now revealed this issue I feel able to publicly report on issues in West Africa.

While UCG was keen to portray West Africa as in full unity with Cincinnati, John has admitted to his Phoenix East congregation in the first few minutes of his Feb 15 sermon that the recent tour of West Africa was to try and deal with a groundswell of discontent with UCG that has been rising there over the past year.  

In West Africa a substantial number of brethren are turning to the holiness and sanctity of the Sabbath and to the Biblical new moon calendar.  Another substantial number are eyeing leaving UCG for other COG Groups.  In short, UCG is having serious problems getting the West African brethren to toe their line.

Right after admitting this, John Elliot also announced in his Feb 15 sermon that they expect another split off from UCG soon.  This probably has to do with the coming changes in the organizational teachings and beliefs of UCG. 

Stephen Flurry Riverdances As Daddy Goes Banana's

From a reader here:

I think we need a different approach rather than just getting away from this destructive charlatan cult. I was a member for many years and was being prepared for the ministry before I woke up and left many years ago. These criminals don't care if you leave, they have your money in secret bank accounts and trusts. Stephen Flurry knows his dad is a psycho but has become the damage control legal aid waiting to get his inheritance from the blood of the people while learning Riverdance in his estate. This whole cult is disgusting and has destroyed thousands of lives and families. These sadistic criminals need to be brought to justice. These are the most disgusting people I ever came across in my life. Is Gerald Flurry Purging Ministers As PCG Starts Imploding?

Robin Webber: Prospective Members Driving 14 Hours To Church Equivalent to Queen of Sheba Visiting Solomon

Robin Webber says:

Are people searching today for that “pearl of great price”? Recently in a trip back to Cincinnati, I was struck by a conversation with a fellow minister. He shared how prospective members recently traveled 14 hours to attend our services. Hearing the eternal truths of God and fellowshipping with like-minded people was so important that they made the trip! They obviously believed the drive was worth it! It reminded me of the Queen of Sheba coming so far to visit Solomon to see if what she heard was true. Were these folks seeking a “pearl of great price”? You fill in the answer.

James Malm In Financial Straights. Send Him Your Money! NOW!!!!!!

Apostle and prophet James Malm claims to have thousands who follow is legalistic muttering and who are supposedly dedicated to preserving the "truth" as Malm declares it.  You would think that if there were thousands out there supporting his legalism that they would be sending in their money.  That's not the case.  He is in serious financial straights and needs immediate income otherwise his world girdling awesome work will face huge difficulties.  Since he does not do any real work and sits in front of his computer or bible all day long; he is reliant upon mooching off of his few followers.

PERSONAL:  Our accountant, who volunteers his unpaid services, has just informed me that: “As of now we have $1,091.46 in the account”.  We need an average of over $5,000 per month just to meet our monthly expenses and we are also in debt to do this work.  We are also now approaching renewals of our web sites in spring, and we need to build funds for the Festivals. We do not have millions like other COG Groups, and operate by faith that God will provide; on an almost daily basis.  This means that we are in serious need of your financial support.  I know that God will provide, however you have the opportunity to help us continue to share the whole word of God with the brethren.Yes, you can say:  “Let someone else do it”  and God will still provide; but in doing that, your opportunity to have a part in preparing God’s people and exhorting them back to a passionate loving zeal for God and his word is lost. Please support those who speak the truth of God’s word.  James Malm

Blog Trolls

Every once in a while we get hit with a series of asinine comments that are directed towards certain people who post or reply here.  They are deleted.  There are some directed towards Dennis or myself and they too are delete.  Most are hilariously so stupid that I almost post them, but don't want to give the mentally disturbed people a platform.  Others are racist in nature and they too go down the rabbit hole.  All in all, it is quit entertaining to see the rapidly rotting minds of these men.

There was a recent study done on the type of people who do this.  Here is what it said:

"Narcissists, psychopaths, sadists or Machiavellian? When it comes to
online trolls, you can take your pick: Researchers say habitual
electronic provocateurs have several of these serious personality
issues.

One of the biggest studies yet into such behavior has found that Internet “trolls” — those who post deliberately provocative messages to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument — may need some intense therapy."

E.W. King Worlds Foremost Authority on UFO's

Eric King now claims to be the worlds foremost authority on UFO's.  He knows all, just like Bob Thiel knows all concerning prophecy.

The Science of it all

So what have we here at SOCT learned in our studies regarding the physical manifestations of this UFO phenomenon?

1-Intelligently Controlled Craft are visiting our planet.-

2-These craft are using a special type of nuclear power (perhaps nuclear fusion) and are using Hydrogen and Helium propulsion systems.-

3-They can travel 0-600 miles an hour in less than a second putting them at 30 G’s.-

4-Any being can survive any ‘G’ as long as the duration is extremely short.-

5-Most all of these craft are inhabited and are using electro magnetic charge systems.-

6-These craft adjust ionized air plasma using magneto propulsion systems.-

7-Craft have been witnessed traveling 1800 miles an hour and making up to 2200 mile an hour turns.-

8-Some of the fastest speeds are around 7000 and then able to “stop on a dime”. Extremely fascinating….to say the least.-

9-After 1950 an increase in craft numbers and bolder appearances of the crafts began.-

10-President Ronald Reagan was concerned about the beings being hostile.-

11-True Christians have to deal with the fact of their existence.-

12-True Christians are aware that some of these beings are seeking worship and are the source of all false religion.-

Get Over It! " Your ugliness, your unforgiving, your hatred, your self-centered pity parties ..."

A reader here responds to the demolition of the Academic Center on the former Ambassador Campus in Pasadena and the angry bitter people he thinks reside here.

As an outsider, who followed the WCG for over a decade in the 80s, I am shocked at all this. I guess the one major proof above all others, that this whole endeavor was a fraud, is simply by just looking at you people - its fruit. Your ugliness, your unforgiving, your hatred, your self-centered pity parties and your disdain for anything that may be good out in the world - is rock solid proof, to me, of a false prophet that HWA may have been (I do not know). Still, you are the product of your own choices, yet you never say this - your focus, to this DAY, is still on a flawed human (who is now dead). You JUST WILL NOT LET GO OF HIM will you? Move away from all this and find peace if you can. You are in charge of your life. Forgive yourself and start finding peace with God. Although, many blame God more than they do HWA, so be it; time may even heal that wound as well. Ambassador College Campus Demolition
