Armstrongites Worried That Glenn Beck May Bring Undo Attention To The True Believers




This was sent to me today by a reader here. It seems that the diehard Armstrongites are worried right now about a story that Glenn Beck did on British Israelism.  What these people fail to understand is that BI is NOT unique to Armstrongism and is believed by the Mormons and other church groups around the world.

I regularly watch Glenn Beck's TV program...some shows are good some aren't. He has a huge audience and his number of paid subscribers to his website is larger than the number of people who watch CNN in primetime. Well my jaw dropped the other night when he did a segment on why the fate of Jerusalem is more important to America than many imagine. He mentioned that Israel was divided into two kingdoms, Israel and Judah. He then went on to explain that the northern kingdom of Israel migrated into Europe and then spent quite some time showing how symbols of Israel are spread all though out our flags and symbols.

Now I'm not sure where he is going to go with this and how far he is going to take it BUT....IF it takes hold in the mind of his viewers and they start to investigate this forgotten fact of history further it could very well start focusing attention on God's Church and It's teachings and doctrines.

Now there is a real possibility that nothing will come of this BUT, since it could impact each and every one of you I felt it was worth mentioning. Be prepared to answer questions. Personally I feel that one of our most serious responsibilities is to be able to properly answer questions correctly and in a way that is easy to understand to the one asking the question.
Being ready to give an answer on a theory that has been proven to be irrelevant is nothing to get worried over.  If these Armstrongites truly believed in a "new" covenant, then they would know that there is neither Jew nor Gentile, male or female....you are..heirs according to my promise.  Instead, their provincial world exists only in Hebrew scriptures and constructs of the law.

Van Robison: "Noah's Ark Found On The Moon"



Noah's Ark Found on the Moon


Biblical archaeologists traveled to the moon and discovered Noah's Ark, while scratching around.  WCG splinter group heads are elated over this discovery and have purchased tickets, for a flight to the moon.    It could be that this phenomenal discovery will unite all the WCG splinter groups into one unified group, which will be headed by the resurrected Herbert W. Armstrong, who is highly favored by Yahweh.  That is bad news for the splinter group religious executives, who will have to take a back seat to Herbert.

Well of course this is all a fairytale, just as all WCG splinter groups are man-made fictional groups also.  They have no clue about the "World Tomorrow", have zero understanding about "end times" and have no clue what truth is.  They don't know why you were born, what the past or the future was or is.  They don't understand the bible, even though they proclaim they do, but then no other groups do either.  They do take your $money, your estate and your time, if you are willing to bow down and worship them and follow their nonsense.

They will gladly indoctrinate you and your children at no charge for their glossy booklets and literature, but once hooked they demand your $cash, as if it is a God thing.  Each WCG splinter group head is his own self-appointed Pope of his little tiny religious kingdom.  Among the most shallow-minded human beings on earth, are the followers of these pope-like dictators of WCG splinter groups.  It is simply appalling that there is even so much as one human who submits to this fantasy world of WCG splinter group make-believe.

God/Jesus Christ never appointed HWA to anything and neither has He appointed or ordained any WCG splinter group head.  The world is of  course inundated with self-important, self-appointed religious rulers of  men and every town in the U.S. of A. has them on every street corner, dwelling in man-made temples of worship.  The man-made bible as interpreted by these priests of false religion,  is the forever means of keeping millions of human beings captive to those who deceive others for their own benefit.

Get Your Feast Bumper Stickers! UPDATED



For those nostalgic for the good old days and want to make your car a target of criticism, mockery and possible vandalism, then head over to this site to buy your bumper stickers for the Feast.

Who can forget forget driving down the freeway and passing a car with a green sticker on it.  You had an instant connection to one of the few out of billions that God loved.  Until of course you passed a car with an orange sticker and you attitude changed to envy because you knew that car belong to a special person in a higher spiritual plain than you and was going to get to park next to the convention building.  You were reminded instantly that you were relegated to a parking lot a mile and half away that you had to walk from with three screaming kids, diaper bags, blankets and brief cases while it was raining torrents along with gale force winds. Oh the Pocono memories!  :-)

Get you feast stickers here along with other trinkets for special Feast gifts.  Nothing strikes fear in a Feast goer more than to get a homemade gift from a church member who thinks it is the next best thing to the Bible.

James Malm: God Is Not Limited By Head Coverings for Women...HOWEVER... It Is A Test To See If You Really Care



James Malm, Chief Pharisee of the Malmite Church of God, still does not have the balls to tell his women that they are REQUIRED to wear head coverings.  He claims his god is not limited to hear the prayers of women whether their heads are covered or not.  However, Malm claims it is a "test" to see if people really care enough about the law to do it. That is the same bullshit the COG has used for decades about the sabbath and other teachings.   Whenever the church threw out the word "test" you knew for a fact that the church was requiring it, even though they did not have the balls to tell you so directly. Everything was a test in Armstrongism and everyone seemed to fail miserably.  A person could never do anything right in the eyes of the church leaders or their god and as a result we have suicides, broken marriages and 700 splinter groups as a testimony to that failure.


Still trying to understand- are you saying the hair covering is a sign of being married therefore unmarried women need not wear one? Or are you saying it required among women when they pray – regardless of their marital status? And if that is what you’re saying then when would you consider a female child old enough to be wearing one during prayer?

Paul said that women should cover their heads while in prayer or discussing scripture and God. I only remarked that this was a command of God for Moses and was a custom of the people before Moses. Yes God through Paul requires this from all women whenever they pray or discuss scripture: However God is not to be limited by a piece of cloth and there are unusual exceptions to the rule. The head covering is only a symbol of modesty and humility and a test to see if people really care enough about pleasing God to do this simple and easy act. Those who reject this command of God through Moses and Paul, are merely demonstrating that they have NO zeal for God and would not lift a finger to please him. James
