Van Robison on "Is God Mean?"

Is God Mean?

Some preachers seem to think God is always in a state of anger.  They teach that God uses bad weather (tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes, etc.) to punish people for their sins.  Just one problem with this nonsense type of reasoning.  If God really did use bad weather to punish human
beings, then why oh why does the bad weather often happen to good people, while not impacting the ones who are responsible for vast evils in life on earth?  Ever wonder why God does not target specific individuals for doing bad things like killing others in war, paid assassins, sadistic enforcers and those who pass legislation that hurts millions of human beings for the benefit of special interest groups (such as the medical establishment, the banking industry and so forth)?  Oh yes there is evil in this world and most often it is the innocent who suffer at the hands of those with no conscience.

Wonder why God did not send a whirlwind (tornado) down on those who were responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ?  Instead tornadoes frequently hit housing areas of totally innocent human beings, as do hurricanes and earthquakes.  Well, it is more than obvious that God actually does not use weather to punish people, anymore than any loving parent would do such things to their own children.  Come on you preachers who teach that God is a monster just waiting to punish.

Perhaps if cult preachers got their heads out of the bible and started using common sense and reason, they would be able to think these things through.  Fear-mongering never ceases from the pulpits of many churches.  If you believe some of these preachers, then you have to think that God is a very bad parent who relishes judgment and punishment instead of love and mercy.  Thank God that such preachers are not God, because they would be the worst parents in the universe, always ready to pounce on the heads of the helpless, the innocent and those with human nature.  There is a vast difference between most human beings and the psychos with no conscience, ruling the world and who live to destroy what is right and good.

For God to send tornadoes upon the innocent is pure nonsense and no doubt many of those destroyed in bad weather are in fact Christians or good people no different than anyone else.  They don't deserve the wrath of God. Anyone going to a church where the preacher teaches that God is a monster, should exit immediately, because Christ is not present in that preacher.  Christ taught love and mercy and humility, where cult-preachers thrive on instilling fear in people.

God is not mean, but many preachers are.

Dennis on Diety's Fall 2013 "Trying to Get Your Attention" Tour

 

 Three US Landfalls Predicted

Itinerary Details

 Key Points:

1. The Deity may arrive quickly this year with opening trys and attempts 

in the Caribbean in June.

2. Non-Prophet Thiel is predicting a strong "try" this year with a strength of category 2 or higher.  He concedes a Cat 1 is never a "try" but merely a weak storm.

3. Areas along the East coast to the Gulf of Mexico are at risk for more trying than usual so should pay attention.

Warm water across the Atlantic and Caribbean, paired with less frequent wind shear, may result in an ideal opportunity for the Deity to make turn a "try" into a touchdown.

 The normal number of named Prophetic Arrivings in a given year is 12, 
according to NOAA.

Additionally, 2013 could set the stage for more enthusiastic "trying" 
than were seen in 2012.

Due to Satanic restraints, episodes of Saharan dust, a factor that can stifle a storm's development, may be less frequent this season. The reduced amount of dust may allow the Deity a better chance  with a "trying and attention getting formation " of category 2 or higher.

The attention getting  is predicted to be normal in development, compared to last year when the Deity pulled off an ambush  before the official start of Atlantic hurricane season, June 1.

Should The Deity brew early in the season, from late May to early June, the season total for storms may be even higher than originally forecast.





Last year's early storms were an " prophetic ambush" AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist Don Kottlowski said. "We think that this year will be more in line with a typical active tactics and sufficient warnings can be issued ahead of any low pressure trying and attention getting incidents."

The biggest concerns for the upcoming season of trying and repentance provoking will  include development in the Gulf of Mexico, an impact in Florida and also another East Coast impact.

Florida is long overdue for a direct prophetic hit, Kottlowski said. Though they have been impacted by near Deity hits in the last couple of years, a direct hit  God has not occurred since Hurricane Wilma in 2005.  

Concern is high for the East because of the remaining devastation as a result of the October 2012 landfall of Super ambush Sandy.  Residents are too busy cleaning up and rebuilding to get to church. No aid from the Prophet Thiel who warned them was forthcoming but he has assured them he is praying for them.

"It would be very difficult for the Deity to hit right where Sandy hit," Kottlowski said. However, impacts such as storm surge, strong winds and heavy rain are possible as far as a few hundred miles from a storm, he explained.

The areas impacted by Bible God  remain vulnerable as powerful storm surge wreaked havoc on the dune systems that were in place along the coast. Without dunes, there is increased potential for severe inland flooding.

Overall, however, the exact areas to be directly impacted this season and the severity of those impacts remain unclear.  When asked why the Deity felt attempts at getting people's attention were limited to seasons, we were told it was none of our business. 



"Those are very, very difficult to compute early in the season," Kottlowski said. "As we get into the 'trying and attention getting season" and see how things are setting up, then it becomes a little bit more noticeable."

I am not making fun of any Deity.  I am trying to get the attention of those who use ancient superstition and attribution to the gods for the very normal planetary weather we experience here on earth seasonally and sometimes tragically.  Bronze age prophets, priests and kings searched for answers to what was weather and they came up with what ignorant and mere Bible readers still push on the public as the answer.  "It must be the gods."   As I pointed out in Job, questions that one might ask 2500 years ago that seemed to have no human answer and therefore must be attributed to the workings of a God are easily answered today by Middle School Children. 

I cannot unring my WCG experience but I will use it to challenge those stuck in time and ignorance to wake up and stop trying to draw people unto themselves through fear, guilt and shame. 

I am not a stupid person and I know how ministers and religious organizations think even if it is subconsciously so. I'm not sure they know how they think and aren't interested in finding out.  Everything they say and do is to impress an audience to support them.  To send them money and to elevate them above others as being more true and correct along with knowing the mind of God better than others.  It is how you build one's religious empire and feed the human ego which is the false self.  Many false selves rule this planet and we are paying the price for it.  What one sees in most COG leaders is pure ego and at times strong hints of mental illness and personality disorders of which, I am sure, they know little about.  I have never met a minister who suspected they were a narcissist or sociopath by nature and got help. The problem is their ego devours others to live and thrive and I'm not going give them a pass on their foolish and very public announcements.  You shouldn't either.  

While I made my choices and accept responsibility for them, this experience brought me divorce, failed relationships, depression, anxiety , and probably not a little desire for payback, all of which is NOT what I wish my true self to be.  Dark nights of the soul are very real and force change that can come no other way so I suppose I can honor and respect the process.  But I am not going to let these men, who are not very well versed in the Bible, have no training of any value and merely lord it over people by the power of their personalities and perceived understanding of all things God, as if they knew, to get a free pass on their ignorant foolishness without challenge. 

Dr. Thiel...NO DEITY TRYS TO GET PEOPLE'S ATTENTION WITH WEATHER.  YOUR GOD IS LAME IF THAT'S THE ONLY WAY IT THINKS TO COMMUNICATE THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON EARTH THAT WE MUST GET EXACTLY RIGHT OR ELSE.

My "humor" has always been passive aggressive.  It's how I survived and stayed way too long with WCG hoping for positive change and common sense to show up. I believed the basic storyline until I didn't.   Common sense and intellectual honesty never showed up in the COGs and lack of it is out of control in slivers like PCG and RCG 

Thanks for listening.

Dave Pack: The Clever Trickster

Dave says:

    "I want to make a statement about...me...now, if I became deceived, I will never tell you what I'm going to tell you now...I am telling you if I go off into strange ideas, misconduct, rebellion, you name it, don't follow me. I want to tell you that now, because if I start doing that I'm gonna try to get you to follow me! I'm gonna come to you and tell you it doesn't apply, it doesn't mean me, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's OK to follow me because ABCD and XY and Z. Do you understand what I'm saying? Listen to me now, when I tell you don't follow me if I go off into weird ideas, or if I get off into other things that are total absolutely unscriptural conduct, because if I do I'm gonna paint it with a different face and try to get you to follow me. Do you understand what I'm saying brethren? Please remember that, because I promise you that if I become deceived, I'll forget it, and I'll want you to forget it...And I hope you'll remember it well enough to quote it right back to me...But I'll tell you what, I'm not going anywhere."

I have tried to define what that last sentence is really saying and finally can.  Anytime you use a "BUT" after all of what one just said, it is a wash out of all said before the "BUT."   It is projecting an awareness one has of their ability to screw up and be deceptive which makes people feel good that you are aware of it.  However, the "BUT" cancels all preceding it so the person can go about their business and still now do what they wish without a challenge because they said they would not be a problem ever. 

It's a false humility with no intention of actually being something the author intends to be cautious about because they really don't see anything THEY do as ever being able to be labeled strange or weird. 

Clever trickster.  

Herbert Armstrong's Non Reproducing Dinosaurs and God's Master Plan

Living Armstrongism has an article up today about HWA and his theories about dinosaurs. Like all things in Armstrongism we had to have an answer about everything.  Of course paleontologists were ignorant evolution believing morons so they could not be believed.  Only Herbert Armstrong had the correct answer about dinosaurs.

In all the silliness that the church taught about dinosaurs I had forgotten this little gem from Herb:

Notice what he wrote in The Incredible Human Potential. HWA is not writing about the initial creation of the Earth, he is writing about the situation after the failed rebellion of Lucifer and the Earth is in a chaotic and empty waste. Look at the link below if you do not believe me.

Consider, now, the truly AWESOME project God set out to accomplish - to REPRODUCE HIMSELF!

It is probable that, prior to this time, no form of life had ever been created with the reproductive process. Probably the very first example of reproductive life was that of plant life - at the time God was renewing the face of the earth (Gen. 1:11-12). God had created the physical universe before placing the angels on the earth. God had created MATTER containing properties so that marvelous things may be done with it. (Chapter 6.)

It would appear to me that HWA was irritated by the thought that physical life in the pre-Adamic Earth reproduced themselves for billions of years. It made human reproduction appear less important. According to HWA humans have been reproducing for 6000 years. But if life in the pre-Adamic Earth have been reproducing themselves for billions of years why would (HWA's) God reproducing himself be anything special to see? How could reproduction be "the CROWNING PINNACLE of even God's unmatched creative POWER" if pre-Adamic life had already been doing so for billions of years?

HWA's answer to this problem was to simply deny that any pre-Adamic life could reproduce.

In summary:

It seems to me that HWA was denigrating pre-Adamic life as non-reproducing in order to elevate reproduction (natural and spiritual) among animals, humans and within the God Family as something that only happened after Lucifer's rebellion.

I sure wish we had these kinds of illustrations in our Bible Story book instead of the drowning people clawing at the side of the ark and people being killed by hail stones  While these pictures are here in jest, there are a few in the COG who believe that dinosaurs were in the garden of Eden with Adam and Eve.
