E. W. King On Why Guilt Leads to Hatred of His Cult

E. W. King, the great leader of the Worldwide Church of God Speaking to the Remnant is not happy with those that pick on him in their BLOGS!  He hates these BLOGS because he thinks they are attacking whatever it is he calls "the truth."

One condition I find amazing that I wish to bring up in this article is the fact that there are some people who have dedicated their entire lives to attacking the true Worldwide Church of God [Christ’s Church]. Why? They are running deeper and deeper into denial of the Truth. This is how they are dealing with their guilt because they have not been shown how to properly deal with sin. It amazes me that those who deny the Truth of the WCG continue to go on with their hate BLOGS. If they do not believe in what we teach then why cannot they just move on with their lives? But they continue. This means that they must have some sort of inner struggle with the Truth.

The effects of a disturbed conscience have been experienced by everybody. Troubled conscience can display itself in numerous ways. It can even manifest itself in various physical ways [what psychologists refer to as, physchosomatic issues]. Actually, God states that physical death itself is due to sin. [Genesis 3:3] We read in the Psalms how David’s body actually began to hurt because of his iniquities. When the brain can no longer carry the load of guilt it then moves it to the human body. Sin is a deadly practice!

Some symptoms of guilt may manifest as;

Anxiety

Depression

Self-fate

Panic

Fatigue

Obsessions [such as hatred toward WCG/COGSR]

Withdrawal

Escapism [as through drugs]

Fantasy [such as New Age beliefs]

Suicide

Rationalization

Blaming others [such as picking on Christians]

Self-pity

Rituals [such as counting things, obsession with cleaning and or controlling specific issues]

Overeating

Intoxicants [can also mean ‘toxic’ or ‘false’ teachings]

I assume from his list above he is describing the typical hard-line Armstrongite who call Christians "fake," who are alcoholics, over eat, commit suicide, are fatigued from useless and worthless laws rules and regulations on how to follow God, are depressed because they can NEVER measure up to the lofty standards that their "god" expects of them, blame others for their church issues and split into hundreds of self serving splinter groups.  The list could be endless when applying the above to Armstrongites.

Is Imitation the Best Form of Flattery?

Bob Thiel, the "unofficial" Official spokesman for the Living Church of God, the world's foremost authority on prophecy and Mayan gibberish, has posted an article justifying the use by WCG and LCG of using the Psalms instead of Christian hymns for church singing.

My first reaction was to the picture of LCG's hymnal.  Why is it that none of the 700 some splinter groups can EVER come up with an ORIGINAL idea?  They took WCG's old purple hymnal, changed the color and added a picture of an old school house.  I guess that is very appropriate since that seems to be where many COG's meet.  I do think a Masonic Temple or Odd Fellows Hall would have made a better picture though. 

Why is it that none of these hundreds of splinter groups could come up with original names for their groups, magazines, colleges, etc.?  It's 2012, the old RCG/WCG is 70 plus years in the past and yet none of these groups have moved into the 21st century.  Ministers preach the same recycled sermons, evangelists preach the same things over and over and never open themselves up to new things.  The old guard still rule and the younger leaders are considered potential heretics.  The COG's have turned into tired, worn out, useless organizations that are strangling their members spirits.

 (Yes, I know it is their weird looking HQ building. Good taste in architecture is not a strong point of the splinter groups anymore.)

Chinese Buy Ambassador College Pasadena Hall of Ad With 2 Day Escrow

Harvest Rock, the weird charismatic personality sect that bought the Ambassador Auditorium had high hopes in buying the Hall of Administration so they could start a School of the Supernatural and a preschool.  They were constantly bragging on how the Holy Spirit was leading them to buy the Hall of Ad.

Apparently the Holy Spirit pulled a fast one on them and helped a consortium of Chinese to buy it with an offer of a two day escrow that left Harvest Rock flailing in the dust.  All of the prophesying, pogoing, and barking members never had the inspiration to know what was going on.

It is almost assured that condo's, a hotel or some other large complex will be built there.  There is no historical significance in preserving the building.  The inside is in fair condition and still actually contain some of the furnishings from the old WCG that are in that "Mad Men" style.  The biggest use of the building was a few years ago by the cable series Fringe where they made it into a museum.  Harvest Rock was renting rooms from Maranatha High School, then owners of the building.



I have to wonder how long it will be till Prophet Bob Thiel finds some prophetic reasoning behind the Chinese buying the building.  Crazy COG ministers decades ago used to claim that when Germany invaded the U.S. they would be so in awe of the magnificent buildings and grounds that they would make it their HQ for the destruction of the western United State.  Since that turned out to be an abject failure, now they will start claiming the Chinese will use the campus for their HQ when they invade the U.S.

Fun times are ahead!

Why Do Armstrongite Legalists Love "Wild Assed Tangents of Bibliotary?"

It has been ages since I was on the WCG Alumni group.  It used to be a lively place with the legalists wielding their KJV /Moffet Bibles against all of us heathens who were no longer sabbath keepers and who ate pork and shrimp.  

They love to throw scriptures and spittle around as proof that Sabbath keeping, clean and unclean meats and holy days are still required.

Checking it out tonight there was a comment with the following quote that the legalistic Armstrongites still refuse to answer to this day:

When exactly is sundown in Heaven?  If you think Jesus is still observing the Sabbath from Heaven, please tell us what time zone He is in? Would that be GMT?  Or EDT?  Or maybe you should set your watch for Jerusalem time?

Your problem is that you believe in the Gospel of Jesus++.  You can't just accept the fact that you don't need to add anything to His salvation at the Cross.  You have to add the O.C. rules of "Touch not, taste not, handle not!" thinking you are earning "legal brownie points" with your Maker.  But He doesn't care about your brownie point scoring system.  Because all your efforts at keeping the law are as filthy rags to Him.

Let that sink in before you decide when your "day" starts and you go off on yet another wild-assed tangent of biblioalatry, dressing yourself in those filthy rags of self righteousness and your idea of sun-up.

Jesus said that His yoke is easy and His burden is light.  You dare not add anything as a Pharisee to that, with all your O.C. laws and self-righteous fly swattings.

I love it!

God Punishes U.S. For LCG's Arrogance

Remember the post in a thread that contained Living Church of God's idiotic statement that God caused the gas prices in the United States to fall so that LCG members could travel to the Feast?

Apparently God is royally pissed at the arrogance of the Living Church of God for making such an idiotic claim that was aimed at setting LCG members apart from the rest of the COG's making them far more special in God's sight.Gas prices skyrocketed here in LA right after Living said what they did. You are your own worst enemy.

Los Angeles Times:  Gas Prices Set Record Pace

Living Church of God's "we are sooooo special" posting:

God blesses Feast of Tabernacles travel.

For the last several years, oil prices have dropped right around the time of the fall Holy Days (fall in the northern hemisphere, that is). This year appears to be the same. Gasoline (petrol) prices have been dropping for the last several weeks now. Monday, oil reached its lowest price since September 2010. It ended trading in New York at $78 per barrel. Experts believe it will stay low to year’s end (Associated Press, October 3, 2011).

Thousands of years ago, God gave His people the command to keep His annual festivals, including the Feast of Tabernacles (see Leviticus 23). These days were to be statutes “forever” and blessings were promised to those who keep them, and the rest of God’s laws (Deuteronomy 14:29).

It is both interesting and encouraging to see a trend in dropping gasoline prices (which some would call “chance”) just prior to the “pilgrim” Feast of Tabernacles–a time when God’s people are commanded to travel to locations where He has chosen to place His name (Deuteronomy 14:22-26). In allowing fuel prices to drop, God is blessing the obedience of His people who are willing to travel to worship Him at this very important time of year.
