Feast Stickers Are Back!




Just in time for the upcoming Feast of Tabernacles celebrations this fall, there is an opportunity to get free Feast car stickers. The Sabbath Day Church of God is offering these stickers through Feastgoer.  Feastgoer lists sites for all the COG splinter groups and Messianic groups.

I remember the green stickers plastered on cars as we drove thousands of miles to feast sites in Georgia, Pocono's or Lake of the Ozarks.  It was fun looking for them and it also created an instant "family."  Now you can get your own sticker to put on your car as you travel.  Or maybe put one on your car for the hell of it.

Of course green stickers were for the lower masses.  Orange stickers were for the elite and ordained. Traffic moved aside as these important vehicles drove by.   Green stickers got you a parking space a half mile or more away, while the orange ones got you a spot close to the tent or tabernacle where a cadre of deacons would be ready to open your car doors, carry your briefcase and baby gear for you, and cater to your every whim.

Green stickers got you a hot chocolate stand in the middle of nowhere and some other goodies.  As you stood in long lines getting drenched in the rain it was a welcome sight after walking a half mile or more. Orange stickers got you into the ministerial dining area where young nubile waitresses were ready to serve you hot food and alcohol.

God Punished Richard Armstrong Because He Had No Faith.



Harold Reimann, who pretends he is the new Elijah III on earth, says that Richard Armstrong died because he told members that if they did not have faith to be healed then they should be going to a doctor.  Because of that, God caused a violent accident which ultimately lead to his death  God was apparently pissed so he let Richard die.  "Take that, you faithless laodiceans!"

Then a letter from Richard Armstrong to Rod Meredith dated 1-28-57, the year of Richard's death. "It was felt as a final conclusion, that we should not order any person to go off drugs or medicines!" Then a letter from a poor little sheep, Mrs. James F. Ward answered by Richard, 4-9-57. She asked, "but I do want to know if you think it is a sin to go to doctors." He didn't answer her but told her that the church would not forbid her to go. If you have the faith, God will heal. If you don't and feel you should go, then by all means go. AND THERE YOU HAVE THE BIG CHANGE IN HEALING! And Richard died for it.

Harold, one more in a long line of disturbed individuals with visions of grandeur.  Just how many Elijah's does there need to be running around out there?

The Church of God Love's It's "Unclean" Beer and Wine

Another gem from Facebook.  

In this same thread, there was a comment from a person who makes wine and beer.  One of the major components of wine and beer production is shrimp and oysters

BUT do they know that Wine is clarified with OYSTER AND OR SHRIMP EXTRACT AND TRIGGER FISH BLADDERS. The first two unclean and the second may be depending on the species.

Chitosan and Isinglass, the extracts, are in all commercial wine. I know first hand as a brewer of ales and maker of wine. Oh Yeah, and in some beer too. LOL

Now that those in the Church of God know this will they do the right thing and tell their members to stop drinking alcohol?  Will Apostle Malm tell his members to stop drinking beer and wine?   This is the perfect opportunity for all the 700 some splinter groups to stop the rampant abuse of alcohol in the ministry and membership. Do they have the balls to do it?  Or is this just another one of their "pick and choose" rules they can break.
