Gerald Flurry: God Just Gives Me Something He Does Not Give You!

 

Why is it that Church of God leaders are such appalling narcissists?

United Church of God - Pitting Brother Against Brother?

Armstrongism has always tried to paint itself as this oh-so-unifying church, the kind that magically turns the hearts of the children to their fathers. Rainbows and lollipops everywhere, folks—pure utopia! Yet, almost every member knows this fairy tale is about as close to reality as Bob Thiel qualifying as a genuine Christian. Shattered marriages, obliterated families, lives snuffed out by suicide and murder. Ah, yes, the glorious ninety-year legacy of Armstrongism, leaving a blood-soaked trail in its wake.

One of those charmingly dysfunctional clans is the Kitchen family. Things aren't exactly rosy in Kitchen-land—shocker, right? 

They've treated us to some spectacularly public meltdowns several times over the past few years, especially after Samuel's botched bid to herd folks off to Petra a couple years back. That little fiasco sparked massive division among the Kitchen brothers. Then their younger sibling had the audacity to decide he wanted zilch to do with the steaming pile of Armstrongist nonsense they were peddling. Naturally, he got branded the villain—because why not blame the sane one?

Now, brother Timothy's cozied up at the United Church of God, where he's probably spilling the beans to Aaron Dean about what a total whack-job Samuel has devolved into. Oh, to be a fly on the wall for those chats! Fingers crossed Timothy can finally kick back from all the absurdity, plop down with Aaron over a cold beer, and cackle their heads off at the whole ridiculous mess.

The UCG is more of a senate of Rome type of government. Far from what was restored through Mr Armstrong. 

 

The outside is outside. Those inside are inside. To support the UCG and its organization, is to step away to the outside. 

 

No there isn’t a second church of God, but there are organizations of men pretending to be the succession of the church, while the wolves got them surrounded. Our Good Shepherd just wants repentance and trust in Him. 

 

Faith. Not our puny human faith, but the living faith of Jesus Christ! 

 

My brother received attacks for what I’ve been saying, and he’s been attending with the UCG. Your people put my brother against me! That was the reason why he came out in a bashing article! 

 

He was already against me, but insult was added to injury. Why should he be attacked? Why are cowards attacking their own members, because of something i am saying here? 

 

Who devours who? Some sheep aren’t sheep. They keep the sheep in line. 

 

Who opposes the apostle? Who says he isn’t part of the foundation of the Church? A sheep? A Shepherd? Or a wolf? Sometimes men have let Satan use them too much, that a wolf comes out when it should have been Christ in them. 

 

When will have to change, before it’s too late?

Sinning COG men who celebrate birthdays while sitting on doctrinal committees are wearing colored shirts as they rob God

 

Since when is it a salvational issue that COG men serving MUST be dressed in a white shirt? Samuel Kitchen claims it is shameful towards God to wear a colored shirt in church, especially if you are a leader. Rod Meredith pulled a stunt like this in 1974 when he popped his veins, screaming about men wearing pink Izod polo shirts. The next time the class met, most of the class wore them just to piss him off even more.

People are also supposedly asking Samuel Kitchen to take on the reins of a minister. What the holy hell!

This is the result of decades of pulpit pounding men focusing on irrelevant things instead of being followers of Jesus and teaching about Him and what He accomplished.

More eternal words of wisdom from Samuel Kitchen:

God says we’ve been robbing Him of tithes and offerings! Haven’t you given to your church organization? 

Haven’t you benefited from tithes and offerings in these churches? 

Why then is the Temple of God in ruin? Who among you seek to restore what God has ordained? 

God says to put the tithes and offerings into the storehouse, so there may be meat in HIS HOUSE.

Yet it is spent in the houses among Babylon, these variety of church groups and works. 

Not one of these groups is supporting the Worldwide Church of God. They all expect those who came from the Worldwide Church of God to support them.

Who came out of whom? Who convinced us to feel shame towards what God ordained holy? Sounds like Adam and Eve after sinning. Now we are made to feel shame of the Worldwide Church of God, that which God ordained, because of sin and wickedness.

Just as they were barred from the garden of Eden, so will anyone who tries to enter the Kingdom any other way.

Why is priority and importance placed on these church organizations over the Worldwide Church of God? 

 

Why are women wearing makeup? Why are birthdays celebrated? Why do men serve with no white shirt? Why is a doctrinal committee established? Why was a “regional pastor structure established by Victor Kubik in 1993, and used to form the UCG? Mr Armstrong abolished and gave instructions! Why wasn’t he obeyed? Oh….because he died? Is that a valid reason?

I’m not here to call upon destruction to befall anyone. But God giving you all a chance to repent and turn things around.

Dave Pack News Flash: Headquarters Couple Leaves The Restored Church of God

 

Newsflash: Headquarters Couple Leaves The Restored Church of God

David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God was a little salty last week because a couple and one other person attending at Headquarters in Wadsworth, Ohio, quit his spiritually corrupt organization. During “The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 606)” on November 8, 2025, the Pastor General lamented this “naïve” wife just “strolled away with her husband” out the door because he “broke her because she’s the weaker vessel.”

Ever deflecting and never the direct reason why people flee The Restored Church of God, David C. Pack’s fingers have not gotten tired of blaming external evils for his biblically fraudulent organization’s dwindling numbers. But certainly not the 600 sermons of malarkey.

Part 606 – November 8, 2025
@ 53:15 It's the lies and the half-truths and the misrepresentations that can cause this.

What lies, Dave? What half-truths? What misrepresentations?

Those sound like the talking points Headquarters trains the field mollusks to say when concerned members bring up documented facts and uncomfortable reminders archived at exrcg.org.

Lies are not necessary for valid reasons to leave The Restored Church of God.

Half-truths are not necessary for valid reasons to leave The Restored Church of God.

Misrepresentations are not necessary for valid reasons to leave The Restored Church of God.

If anyone wants to find verifiable facts free of lies, half-truths, and misrepresentations, please visit exrcg.org. The channel on YouTube hosts the video evidence.

@ 53:20 Think. This husband could not possibly have believed a kingdom was just weeks away. Impossible.

No discerning, critical-thinking, bible-believing person would either. The failure of Kislev 16 on December 5 is inevitable, like the 135 others before it, and is just one uncomfortable suspicion away from being disproven by the man who taught it. At that point, the couple were not rebels. They were ahead of the curve.

One of David C. Pack’s strategies is to pit husbands and wives against each other. When couples have a doctrinal issue, they try to separate them to manipulate them individually. Two men will team up to work on a woman to get her to flip on her husband. That is standard operating procedure in The Restored Church of God.

@ 1:01:24 And you can't be a pastor like I am …without weeping over people that leave.

Raise your hand if you believe David C. Pack weeps for anyone.

As an added bonus during Part 606, David C. Pack paid homage to his "father in the gospel" by explaining 23 prophetic understandings that his mentor got wrong. Herbert W. Armstrong, Pastor General of the Worldwide Church of God (WCG), was forbidden by God to understand bible prophecy correctly despite being an apostle and the Messenger to the Sixth Era who led a church of over 100,000 members for fifty years.

Dave humbly admitted there were only 23 examples because he was reciting HWA's errors without a prepared list. He confessed that there are many more.

In contrast, only Pastor General David C. Pack understands bible prophecy accurately because the Book of Revelation and Daniel have been unsealed to him. Please disregard the painful truth that he has been wrong since August 2013.

Despite being free of corporate debt, The Restored Church of God limps along without any discernible plan for the future, with no will to herald the good news of the coming Kingdom of God. No new literature. No new videos. No new advertising campaigns. No new fruits letters.

Members are aging out, and more in the Headquarters congregation have their eyes on the exits. David C. Pack will now need to ponder if that is a lie, a half-truth, misrepresentation… or a proven fact. Stay tuned.

The Debbie Downer Of COG Leaders Has Another Depressing Sermon

 

Traditional speechwriting typically starts with something positive, elaborates on that, moves to the message, and then ends with something positive again. Oh, but not with God's greatest gift to the human race and the Churches of God—how utterly depressing! Everything he writes and speaks kicks off with one bombastic evil or negative thing after another, and then, right in the midst of it all, he humbly brags about how perfect he and his little church are, having restored all things to their glorious pinnacle. And then to top it off, he wraps up with even more delightful negativity. What a brilliant formula for inspiration!

Can you imagine the sheer bliss of spending 3½ years cooped up in Petra with this Queen of Negativity? If he's not graciously bitching about something wrong, he'll be modestly extolling how wonderful he is, only to lovingly berate those present for continually failing to meet his impeccable standards. Ah, what a heavenly paradise that would be—pure utopia!

Armstrongism has always tended to be grace-deficient in its message, hasn't it? Doom and destruction were the name of the game, with just a few tantalizing glimpses of the lion dwelling with the lamb thrown in for good measure. Have you ever heard a COG minister preach an entire sermon on grace and how deeply loved the people of God sitting before him are, and how precious they are in God's sight? Of course not—it would ruin the fun! 

This is the Great Bwana's latest sermon (always in multiple parts since he can't edit his words). Oh, and there will be consequences for resisting Bob's messages because they are directly from his god, which apparently dislikes paragraph breaks.

2 Timothy 3-4: Scripture and Truth Restored
This is the second part of a 2-part sermon series covering each and every verse of the Apostle Paul’s second epistle to Timothy. In this sermon, Dr. Thiel covers the last two chapters of Paul’s letter. Paul tells Timothy how terrible people will be in the last days, and that many are always learning but not coming to the knowledge of the truth. Dr. Thiel quotes passages in scripture showing that God’s word is truth, yet that many suppress the truth in unrighteousness and promote sexual immortality and other evils. He also quotes information about the possible identity of Jannes and Jambres, and warns that there are consequences in resisting God and His messages. He also cites Jesus who essentially warned that the Sardis and Laodicean Christians also resist the truth and need to repent. Dr. Thiel also covers the fact that Paul was persecuted, that Philadelphian Christians will be persecuted, but that later they will be protected per Revelation 12:13-16, but that the non-Philadelphian Christians will then be subject to persecution during the Great Tribulation. Prophetic errors that certain Laodiceans hold are also pointed out. He also explains why Richard Dawkins’ book, The God Delusion, is not scientific. He warns that Greco-Roman Catholic and Protestant teachers have accepted traditions over the word of God, when instead they should be faithful. Dr. Thiel quotes various passages of scripture from the Apostle Paul showing that Christians are to continue in the original faith and doctrine, as well as grow in spiritual knowledge. He also goes over many truths that have been restored in the Continuing Church of God and gives biblical reasons why the most faithful in the 21st century should support the CCOG. He quotes the Apostle Paul who says ministers are to preach the word of God and mentions some of how the CCOG does that. He warns that throughout church history, people have rebelled against church government as well those who loved the world more than the truth of God. Some information related to the canonization of scripture is touched upon. The faithful couple, Priscilla and Aquila, are mentioned, including places they had lived for a time. Dr. Thiel concludes by saying that all need the Lord Jesus Christ to be with us, we all need God’s grace, God will strengthen us, His word is more of a guide than a GPS, and we simply need to do things His way which includes obeying Him, resisting Satan, not following the ways of the world in these last days, growing in knowledge, and supporting the most faithful Church in these end times.

Where is Bob Thiel's Love If He Has Restored All True Spiritual Knowledge?

 

I couldn't help but comment again on Pastor Dr Bob's latest rant in Cogwriter, 

Bob states everyone must look to the CCOG as he/it has restored so much knowledge and is the only COG holding the Philadelphia Mantel. The problem with this is even if this were true, it doesn't mean jacksquat as the Bible states if you have not Love, all knowledge, all prophecy, all signs, all anything else doesn't matter at all without Love. 

Is Bob showing Love when he betrayed Priscilla and her children? 

Is Bob showing Love, covering Radsons' lies and sins, so he can maintain his Delusions of Grandeur? 

Is Bob showing Love, allowing his leading ministers to practice witchcraft and desecrating babies' bodies to get demonic favors? 

Is Bob showing Love, covering up Evans' sex scandals? 

Is Bob showing Love, covering up a Former CCOG leader's sin, lying to a member of Hope of Israel, saying it was a rumor, but admittedly saying publicly that it was in fact true? 

Is Bob showing Love covering up Evans Ocheing and his son Bradox Ouma Ocheing's political scandal of 2017 and 2022? 

Is Bob showing Love when Ministers and Deacons under Radson and Evans come forth telling him the truth, only to be dismissed and handed over to Evans and Radson's cruel punishment and death threats? 

All these things Bob talks about don't mean a thing to God, as God is concerned about Love first and what is true. Dr Pastor Bob Thiel is without excuse. Many have tried to help him, but being he only loves himself above all else, he fails BIG TIME. 

Dr Pastor Bob Thiel, show some LOVE won't ya!!!!

Apostle Paul Foretold The Current Vicious Satanic Attack Against Bob Thiel

That crafty, fork-tongued abomination of a serpent is throwing yet another epic tantrum, zeroing in on the unparalleled, godlike genius that is the Supreme Overseer, the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel. Can you even fathom the depths of Satan's soul-crushing jealousy over Bwana Bob's utterly revolutionary drivel—er, I mean, literature—spewed forth in literally hundreds of tongues, complemented by the most hyper-mega-ultra-superfantabulous websites ever half-baked by any ragtag Church of God splinter group? Satan's pathetic posse of shadowy Google gremlins sicced a swarm of digital demons to wreak absolute, laughably amateur havoc on the Great Bwana's oh-so-impregnable online fortress. Heaven forbid the masses miss out on the Great Bwana's brain-melting masterpieces—scribbles so staggeringly, coma-inducingly brilliant that Old Satan himself had to drop everything and DDoS the servers in a fit of infernal rage.

As us puny humans have oh-so-heroically evolved our pitiful computer smarts, poor Satan—bless his blackened heart—has been dragged kicking and screaming into inventing brand-new, convoluted plots to pester the church. No doubt he's got this gargantuan, brimstone-belching server farm humming away, cackling maniacally as it torpedoes COG tech and churns out AI hallucinations of perpetual doom. Personally, I'd peg him as a die-hard "pen and parchment" purist, but hey, if he's gone digital, it's surely just to snoop through your browser history for some premium blackmail fodder.

But wait, there's more infernal innovation! Satan's got bio-engineered nano-devils swimming through fiber-optic cables, sabotaging COG servers with precision strikes that make the CIA look like toddlers with crayons. He's even time-traveled (because why not?) to retroactively invent the blue screen of death just to foreshadow his assaults on Thiel's throne of theological triumph.

Satan Servants Again Strike! 

In the past week we have had to endure physical as well as software hacks. 

 

These hacks cost time and money, as well as discourage people from viewing our materials. 

 

A ‘google bot’ hack on Tuesday greatly slowed down viewers’ abilities to access information on our websites. People were often delayed, sometimes so much as to get timed out and not able to view information. 

 

We asked our man in Portugal to assist on Tuesday related to the bot slow down, as well as had a hardware/software man help recover from a series of costly hacks this week. 

 

So, we have been working on these matters, as well as taking steps to try to further protect our websites from being hacked.

The Apostle Paul was inspired to write:

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12) 

 

Satan does not want Matthew 24:14 to be fulfilled as that is an important sign of the end, which will lead to the countdown of his end. 

 

Remember:

We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God. (Acts 14:22-23) 

 

Since Satan is the “the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2), he has directly or indirectly, various of the disobedient in his service to attack our websites.
