Gerald
Flurry has always held himself up as better than the rest of the church.
He thought he knew more than the WCG when he started rebelling against the
changes and formed his own splinter cult. It has always been about
him. The narcissism and ego-centrism of Flurry is what makes him stand
out as another aberrant teacher of Armstrongism.
Here are a
few bits of wisdom from the Dear Leader, a man so morally superior that he is
now a King and the Official Law-Giver to the Church of God. A man so stupendous that we are to gaze at his feet an awe. Dave Pack has been
seen cowering in Wadsworth because of Gerald's holy feet!
Mr. Armstrong had an intimate relationship with God too -- in a way we do not have. Presently, I am intimate with God in a way no one else is directly; you are, however, indirectly. This has to do with the man to whom God is giving the revelation. God gives the revelation to a man and has the Church look to that man. Then God holds that man very accountable. Because it is through him and the revelation God gives him that we get to know God intimately. [RV Sept./Oct. 2000, pg. 6]Following God’s Man is actually following God. [TP pg. 11p5]The Church today will truly unify only by rallying around this throne through a man. ... There is a spiritual Throne of David in God’s Church today. [TP pg. 12 bottom, 13p1]God placed me into the office of a prophet. The fruits of new prophetic revelation and a work to declare the message prove who I am. [TP pg. 21 bottom]In fact, “king” and “counselor” apply to the office I hold. [TP pg. 34p1]This prophet ... He speaks for God. Here is a clear statement that God sends a “thus saith the Lord God” through one man – His watchman, or prophet. The man speaks for God! [TP pg. 43p2]His man, His lawgiver – that prophet. ... He can give His lawgiver something you don’t have ... God has given me that same advantage He gave Mr. Armstrong. [TP pg. 55p2,3,6]I didn’t receive this message from man! I was taught it by revelation from Jesus Christ! [TP pg. 61p1]Remember, when God places a man in charge, He gives that individual something extra spiritually – an added power to lead God’s people. That places him at an advantage, prompting the people to look to him. [TP pg. 62p4]Like Paul, I will continue to magnify my office that I might save some. ... The ministers have to magnify this office ... God’s ministers must understand this concept deeply and lead God’s people to magnify my office – which is really God’s office. [TP pg. 70p1,2,3]There is abundant rain coming from a teacher of righteousness – or that prophet. ... It says God has spoken to this man. That does put me in a different category. [TP pg. 110p4, 111p5]A man must deliver this message, and cause the whole world to drink it. ... I must cause all the nations to drink this message. [TP pg. 113 bottom, 114 top]Think on “the feet of him” – some man ... We need to see the beautiful feet of “him” – the one bringing revelation ... God actually wants us to focus on this “him”... Not only should we see the man ... but also notice his feet. ... Look at the beautiful feet of him. [TP pg. 117p4,6,7, 118p3]
