End Times Fear Mongering and It's Repercusions

Last year when Harold Camping was blaring his end of times scenario there was a news story here in Los Angeles about a woman in Palmdale that tried to kill her two daughters to save them from the apocalypse.  This woman turned out to be a former Church of God member who tried to slit her daughters throats.  The girls survived and she is in prison.

Last night on the news another woman in Palmdale tried to drown her son in a pool to save him from the apocalypse.  I just hope this is not another COG member!  The boy survived, thankfully!

Cops: Mom Tries to Drown 8-year-old Son, Saying World is Ending

PALMDALE, Calif. (KTLA) -- A mother in Palmdale is being held on $1-million bail after allegedly trying to drown her 8-year-old son in the pool at their apartment complex.

Around 7:30 p.m. Thursday, deputies from the Palmdale Sheriff's Station responded to a rescue call of a woman attempting to hold a child under water in the pool at the Monte Vista apartment complex.

Once at the location, they learned that 33-year-old Allaire McDougall attempted to drown her son in the pool, according to a news release.


Bystanders intervened and rescued the boy.

“She’s telling him, ‘Son, you have to go. This is the end of the world,” witnesses told reporters.

The boy was taken to a local hospital and is now listed in stable condition.

McDougall was arrested for attempted murder and booked at the Palmdale Station.

Ron Weinland: Live From His Back Yard

I keep looking for Jesus to be in his front yard, a mushroom cloud in the skyline and rampaging Muslims, Germans and Chinese in his back yard.  Alas, no excitement on the home front.

Maybe he is inside preparing to rip his clothes and cover himself in sack cloth and ashes for being an epic failure once again?  What's his wife thinking right now and his daughter that continues to makes excuses for him?

How Does An Obviously Insane Lying False Prophet Con People?

Check out Douglas Becker's article on the Painful Truth site about people who "continue to follow an obviously insane lying false prophet" like Ron Weinland.  These people will give Ron a free ride on Monday morning making all kinds  of excuses for him.

First, we want to make it clear that every major problem in the Armstrongist Churches of God came originally from Herbert Armstrong. These problems are rooted in the narcissistic personality disorder of Herbert Armstrong where he had no empathy for his followers. It should further be noted that he had a set of delusions now thoroughly disproved which formed the “collective conscience” of the basic church cult. At the center of the delusions was British Israelism, the proposition that the United States and British Commonwealth are supposed lost tribes of Israel and that British Israelism is the Key to Prophecy for the understanding of all key events to follow. This heresy of a preposterous science fiction style alternative earth history was and is indeed the Key to the failed prophecies of the Armstrongist ministry and leaders from the very beginning in the Radio Church of God starting with Herbert Armstrong, following down to this very day, where Ronald Weinland has prophesied that Jesus Christ will return this weekend. British Israelism is at the heart of it all and it completely invalidates all the teachings of the Armstrongist Churches of God.

The delusions were extended through the silly history of the church stolen from Dugger and Dodd who plagiarized it from Ellen G. White who just made up the whole thing. We know and can prove that the Waldensians considered themselves good Catholics and nothing more, never kept the Sabbath, let alone the Holydays. This “True History of The True Church” was nothing of the kind. It is thoroughly debunked and has been long rejected by the original Church of God Seventh Day. In fact, The Church of God Seventh Day had an article showing the folly of British Israelism in The Bible Advocate in this past year.

Van Robison on "The Real Origin of Mass Deception"

The Real Origin of Mass Deception---The Bible


If it were not for the Bible, there would be no pastors and no churches.  The origin of the so called Bible, was birthed in the minds of many sources all eventually compiled into one book or volume and called "The Holy Bible."  There have always been human beings who understand how to rule over others and it dates back many thousands of years.  Calling something "Holy" or "Sacred" is as old as dirt.  Humans have always been superstitious and human cultures the world over have their "sacred" beliefs, customs and practices.

Church goers who call themselves "Christians" are no different.  Many think they must go to church on Saturday, because it is "Holy" time or sacred.  Others think they must go to church on Sunday as if it is what makes one a "Christian."  Depending on the filters in the mind, the Bible is interpreted into as many different ways of believing as there are pastors or elders, who think they speak for God.  There has never been a greater source of power over the human mind than "sacred" texts, which by now date back many hundreds or thousands of years.  For whatever reason, many human cultures always refer to the "ancient" as the source of all truth.

I suspect that the real authors of much of the Bible, knew exactly what they were doing when they penned their writings and their intent was to control common people through perpetual FEAR.  It applies to the real authors of the Old Testament, just as much as it does the New Testament, including the fictional book of Revelation.  A classic example of fear-mongering and control over people is found in Romans 13 "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers,  for there is no power but of God;  the powers that be are ordained of God. (2) Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. (3) For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil.  Will you then not be afraid of the power?..."

It is exactly this type of writing (Romans 13: 1-3) that is a master stroke of genius to gain power and control over human beings by the millions and billions, and consequent train loads of never ending free $money.  Some sources will say that Romans 13 is referring to secular authority and others to religious authorities or both.  Taking a look at Matthew 23:8-10 we read that Jesus said "But be not you called Rabbi (same as pastor or senior pastor or elder or teacher, or bishop or whatever vain title of men): for ONE IS YOUR MASTER, even Christ; and ALL YOU are brethren. (9) And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father which is in heaven. (10) Neither be you called masters; for one is you Master, even Christ."  We also read that you cannot serve two masters.  So then who is Master?  Is it the pastor, the politician, the government, the deacon, the senior pastor, the bishop, the human priest, the organized church group or "spiritual" leader of your group or Christ?

The idea that the bible is either 100% infallible and inerrant or 100% a fraud is the extreme of Bible apologists, who use that nonsense in an attempt to cause people to accept the total bible as true, when it is blatantly not so.  The Bible does indeed have worthy teachings, especially and foremost coming from Jesus Christ, such as "love your neighbor as you love yourself" and "blessed are the peacemakers" and "blessed are the merciful" and "blessed are the meek."    Is anyone who stands in a pulpit a meek or humble human being, or are those who claim power and control over others, simply deceiving themselves and those they mentally control?

If indeed humans obey the "powers", then Master cannot be Christ.  Pastors by the thousands think that Christ functions through them.  This is the great deception of the church world and its man-made clergy/laity system that enslaves millions to false and fake human authority.  Not only do all splinter groups of the Worldwide Church of God falsely represent God/Jesus Christ, but so do all organized church institutions.  There is no mediator between God and man aside from Christ and so the pastor system of churches is 100% fraudulent.

The origin of church deception is founded upon the Bible and the false belief that God inspired every word of the Bible.  The bible is such an overwhelming contradiction to itself in so many ways that it is astonishing that more people don't see through it.  Liars have always put words in the mouth of God and the LYING PEN of the writers have caused massive, worldwide religious bondage to pastors and church organizations for centuries.  Pastors ought to be ashamed of themselves for pretending that they represent Christ to gullible church goers.
