PCG Makes It Offical That They Dumped 4.5 Million In Tithe Money On Edstone House UK

Just as Jesus supposedly walked the hills of England, so thinks the PCG that Shakespeare might have walked the hallowed grounds of Edstone - as if any PCG student or member would read the pagan Shakespeare's possessed writings!

The Philadelphia Church of God has now made it official that they bought the property in England in order to establish another Herbert W Armstrong "college."  Rumors have been swirling around for a while now abort the PCG looking into buying property in the UK.

The PCG cult had hoped to buy the former Bricket Wood campus of Ambassador College.  That fell through when local zoning ordinances stopped the current developer from building condo's and restricted the sale of the mansion and other buildings.

The PCG was not happy that word had slipped out that they were negotiating with millions of dollars of tithe money for this property.  Now they have admitted that they have bought a new property that we previously reported about here:

Gerald Flurry Cult Buying Edstone Hall in England In Order To Start Another "college"

Gerald Flurry's Edstone House UK Financial Boondoggle

The PCG News has this to say today about how their god has been working behind the scenes on making this property available to them.  Just like the printing press and jet airplanes, this house apparently was built in 1939 to be specifically bought by Gerald Flurry in the end times.

EDMOND—The Philadelphia Church of God officially purchased a new campus in England on November 12. United Kingdom/Europe Regional Director Brad Macdonald received the keys today from a Sotheby’s real estate agent, marking the official closing of the deal and opening of a new chapter for the Church’s work in Britain and Europe.

The estate will serve as a new location for the Church’s regional office in England. A handful of students from Herbert W. Armstrong College will also travel to England to support the Church’s work in the region.

Edstone Hall, a 24,000-square-foot mansion in the Warwickshire countryside, contains more than 30 rooms. Built in 1939 in the art deco style, the building has an oak double-door entrance into a stained glass vestibule, stone mullion windows, stone fireplaces, balconies, a 5,500-square-foot Georgian cellar, a Cotswold stone roof and a detached garage. The 22-acre campus sits among the meadows about 4 miles north of Stratford-upon-Avon.

The parkland surrounding the hall includes meadows, pastures and woodland including mature oak and beech trees, as well as walking paths, gardens and a cedar of Lebanon; it also overlooks a large pond. The property also includes planning permissions for a 10,000-square-foot additional building, and an indoor swimming pool and a leisure complex.

“I believe God has long been preparing Edstone for His Church,” Mr. Macdonald said. “Edstone is ideal for the pcg—a perfect combination of majesty and functionality. It’s dignified and impressive, yet practical and sensible.”

It will be interesting to see how the neighborhood react to having an American cult in their midst that is going to be staffed by the elite of the Edmond compound.

Assistant dean of students Eric Burns announced on October 29 that 11 Herbert W. Armstrong College students and graduates from Edmond—Christopher Eames, Jessie Hester, Samuel Livingston, Kiall Lorenz, Brooke Davis, Victoria Lancaster, Nick Irwin, Emmanuel Michels, Kaitlin Eames, Anya Trietsch, Paris Turgeon—will transfer to Edstone to serve in the pcg office for the spring semester.

UK office staff and contractors are currently renovating Edstone Hall, updating fixtures and appliances, and installing new flooring, partition walls, paint and a computer network. pcg chief operations officer Andrew Locher said the technology should increase website performance, create a secure connection to the Church’s headquarters campus, and facilitate broadcast production.
Meanwhile, the Church’s regional office operations will move from a 900-square-foot facility in the Northampton town center to approximately 5,000 square feet in Edstone Hall devoted to office space.

PCG members will soon be able to look forward to mass appeals for more offerings and financial donations towards the upkeep of this financial boondoggle.  As the PCG shrinks in membership money is also starting to shrink.  How long will it be till either Edmond or Edstone is closed down and sold to the Catholic Church or Scientology?

Wayne Turgeon: "...a man of low character..."

Here is part of a letter that was on Exit and Support today.  It describes once more the degenerate man/boys who are wrecking havoc in the Philadelphia Church of God.  Why members of the PCG continue to let these piles of excrement treat them like shit all the time is beyond me.

I also remember another holy day (the LDUB) when the great PCG evangelist Wayne Turgeon (who just happens to be married to Gerald Flurrys daughter) came to Cincinnati to beg for a large holy day offering. He said he felt "kinda bad" asking young couples with children and frail seniors on Social Security for more money but "God needs your support." He also added that if anyone was thinking about being stingy with offerings to flurry then a nice one way ticket to the tribulation might be your fate. [Note by ESN: Turgeon's last comment has been added to Amazing Statements Made by Philadelphia Church of God Ministers.]

It takes a man of low character to stand behind the pulpit and extort money from people they know are the least able to afford it. As they stand up there, they must have to look into the eyes of young children, infants, and older folk and know that Gerald Flurry is a fraud and it is all about the money. Yes, people like Turgeon, Malone, Davis, Locher and others will threaten "eternal death" and then take money from the poor sheep and run back to their luxury homes, cars, and $65,000 a year salaries. Oh and now we may add--nice company Visas.

I am proclaiming the SINS of the people so they can return to their Husband

The Church of God's greatest Pharisee is declaring himself "The Watchman" to the filthy remnant of the Churches of God who are back-sliding, pagan worshiping, pork eating, sabbath breaking, Saturday restaurant eating, Laodiceans.

The Chief Pharisee still is stinging from his wife walking out on him leaving him penniless and with no one to care for him now that he has serious health issues.  That anger comes out repeatedly as he uses the "husband" metaphor in describing Jesus Christ being eternally PISSED at those who claim to follow him. His wife turned her back on him, so he assumes all of the COG's have turned their back on Jesus Christ.

Brethren of the church of God; Why is there no one to proclaim the sins of the people and turn them to a passion for their Husband, the love of their youth?  Why will today’s elders and leaders lead the Ekklesia into the sin of following them, instead of proclaiming the warning, and teaching sincere repentance and a passionate zeal for the truth?   I have no choice but to stand in the breach, for the guilt of the blood of the unwarned people will be upon me if I do not speak out.

These are the "sins" of the Church of God today, particularly in the Untied Church of God, whom the Chief Pharisee is continually ticked off at.

God gives a few reasons why they shall be removed from the land in those days and again in our days. 

• We eat without properly bleeding as I mentioned a few days ago.

• We are zealous for our idols of men and corporate entities and their false traditions. 

• We spiritually shed blood by turning people away from any zeal for God’s Words out follow and be zealous for our corporate idols. 

• We depend on the sword [war and bullying] 

• We are full of abominations like calling the Sabbaths holy and then polluting them. 

• The Ekelsia is full of spiritual adultery, loving others instead of loving and being faithful to the Husband of our baptismal commitment. 

We shall be corrected along with physical Israel in this latter day.  We shall NOT inherits the spiritual Promised land of eternal life, unless we sincerely and

If you do not heed his words he says this about you:

If the watchman does his job, then the people who hear the warnings and do not sincerely respond and repent, will bear their own guilt; they have been warned and have rejected the warning.

You BAD, BAD, BAD heathens!  How dare you reject God's most perfect and mightiest angry man!!!!!!

Columbiana Church of God - - More Drivel for the Theologically Bankrupt Church of God

One thing Armstrongism has accomplished over its eight decades is that it has created some of the craziest and theologically bankrupt men the world has ever seen.  If you thought Bob Thiel had poor speaking abilities then you have not seen this guy.  I have a feeling that Bob Thiel gets his training from this guy.

This guy also has ties to Sir Anthony Buzzard's "One God" group that promotes "Christian monotheism."  Restoration Fellowship

The World Tomorrow May Be Ruled By A Woman!

Did you knew that the ruler of the Kingdom of God could possibly be a woman?  She would be directly under JC on the organizational chart. 

The ministry is beginning to be streamlined and organized in a fashion that better prepares everyone for what lies ahead of us, including the Millennium. Some of those changes have already begun. One important change involves the preparation of the immediate structure of the Church once we enter the Millennium. Although it did not strike me at the time when it took place, the recent ordination of a third prophet in the Church was picked up by quite a few people as they realized this could mean that a woman, if not part of the 144,000, would be the physical head of the Church at the beginning of the Millennium, just as I am now, as an apostle, the physical head of the Church under Jesus Christ. It is wise to note here that God is preparing someone for that role and it will be someone well trained and molded for it. Read it here

I can just see it now.  In that World Tomorrow, Dave Pack will be humbled and will be her chauffeur and Rod Meredith will be cleaning her palace in his bright pink speedo.  Flurry will be doing what he does best, making alcohol for her parties.

The mind of Weinerdude Weinland just gets crazier day by day!  I think he has too much free time with Bubba in that jail cell!

Preparing for the last Feast of Tabernacles 2015 in Cincinnati Ohio

Cincinnati, Ohio - a foretaste of what the kingdom will look like...

Ron Weinland's personalty cult is in the process of registering for what will be their last Feast of Tabernacles in this dispensation of Armstrongism.  Weinland has been preparing his rapidly dwindling group of followers that his god has revealed much to him and that "Jesus" is ready to come back and kick ass next fall.  This coming year from the Feast 2014 to the Feast 2015 has been declared the Year of Dedication by Weinland as he prepares for the tribulation.  The seven trumpets have already sounded and his god is now preparing his followers to be rulers and Kings in Weinalnd's mythical kingdom.

Weinland is so sure that this will be the last Feast that he is allowing members to attend anywhere they want to go as long as they have the funds.  Those destinations though have shrunk down to only four locations worldwide.  With the continuing exodus of members out of his personalty cult due to his incarceration and the loony rantings of his wife Weinland has had to close down numerous sites.

Cult followers will only be able to attend in Cincinnati, Ohio, Gold Coast of Australia, Niagara Fall's Canada and a location in the Netherlands.  I can't imagine spending eight days in Cincinnati as a foretaste of the Kingdom!

Weinland has scared the crap out of his members over the last few years so much so that many are afraid to travel long distances from their homes in case the shit hits the fan while they are at the Feast.

Consolidated Feast Sites
We are consolidating a lot of sites for this coming year. As a result, the Church will be helping some who are most affected by the need to travel a lot of extra distance in order to attend the site closest to them. However, not all will be able to receive such assistance. There also will be some who may receive assistance for travel, but it may not be the full amount of travel expenses that they will incur. This information is being sent out early so that you can begin making plans, which will include financial ones, so that you can start preparing now, seeking extra work you might be able to pick up, and/or to save extra in order to insure you can attend.

By consolidating sites, we also recognize that due to age and/or factors of health that hamper mobility that there will be more individuals who will not be able to attend this next year. However, God will bless those individuals with an extra measure of help and spiritual strength as they seek to glean all that they can from the messages of the Feast.

For any who will be traveling long distances, above all things, do not make early airline reservations unless you have the money in hand to do so, as such funds are not refundable if you have a change in plans or do not receive the full assistance you need for travel. We will have an early sign-up for the Feast. Hopefully the information on all sites will be out before the end of this year, and then you can begin to make lodging reservations right away.

Anyone who desires to attend an international site should feel comfortable and free to do so. This is being stated because sometimes in the past there has often been some reluctance to travel far from home because of uncertainty about when tribulation might begin that might prevent one from returning home. After the last post, it should be clear that any physical destruction from the sounding of the trumpets cannot begin until some point after the Year of Dedication is over.

Those who plan on traveling to the Gold Coast in Australia, lodging reservations need to be made as soon as possible since there are other activities taking place in that region that are already resulting in fast booking of available lodging. If you are going there you will need to contact Wayne Matthews right away to get what you need concerning the meeting location and lodging information.

It has been decided that there will be no Feast site in New Zealand this year. There will only be the one in Australia on the Gold Coast for everyone in that region of the world.

Another area being consolidated is in Europe, as there will only be a single site in the Netherlands and there will not be one in the United Kingdom.

The site in the Niagara Falls, Canada region will remain the same. Just as a side note to any in the States who might want to attend that site, please be advised that you must have passports in order to cross-over into Canada.

There will only be one site in the United States and that will be in the Cincinnati area. It will be at the same location as last year, except that by the time of the Feast, the entire hotel will have been renovated. There will be no site in Hawaii, or any other location in the U.S.

That makes only four Feast sites to choose from for this coming year, which includes the Gold Coast of Australia, the Netherlands, Canada, and the Cincinnati area. So you have some decisions that you will need to make concerning this next year, as we plan on having our sign-up for the Feast to be out by the end of the year, and we are requesting that everyone sign up as quickly as possible for planning purposes. Any who fail to sign up early and then have need for assistance to attend will not receive assistance. It is highly needful that everyone sign up early.

Creepy UCG Program To Indoctrinate Young Children Into Staying In The Church

The Untied Church of God has published new guidelines for a new youth educational instruction program, "UCG Youth Instruction Program—A Deuteronomy 6 Model."

Like all COG's these days, the UCG is not able to keep it's youth from remaining tithing members once they hit college age. Most leave because of the hypocrisy they see daily or have easily proven that the law is NOT to be kept, or that they are just plain sick of religion.

The following quote from the United News is stirring up a lot of talk on various COG related sites.  What has struck many people is the list of things that people can do to entice children to stay involved, starting at a young age.  What many are noticing is that the list sounds much like what pedophiles do to groom children into becoming compliant.  While I know that was not UCG's intent, it still is rather creepy!  Nothing makes a COG feel more successful though than having brain-numbed compliant children and adults.

One thing that is painfully obvious is that no where in the list of points below is there ANY reference to Jesus.  They just cannot handle the guy! If they did, they would have to admit their Old Covenant silliness is wrong.

While God clearly lays the primary responsibility for teaching children on the parents, He also indicates that the Church community at large must be involved in passing on His ways.

As a church, we are assessing how to be more effective with youth instruction by emphasizing a Deuteronomy:6:6-7

“parents first” model, where the Church supports and supplements parents’ teaching, but does not supplant their responsibility.

So how can you as a Church member be involved and help pass on God’s way of life to the children in your congregation?

Here are some tips:
 

• Get to know every child’s name and have conversations with him or her.

• Make a point to acknowledge, smile, talk to each child every Sabbath or at other times when you see them. It is important for them to know you care about them as an individual.

• Get to know one thing about him/her that they enjoy doing.

• Ask how school is and what do they want to do when they grow up.

• Find out who their favorite Bible hero is.

• Find out what their favorite Bible scriptures or stories are. Why do they relate or like those the best?

• Where are they going for the Feast and what are they looking forward to learning and doing?
