Malm's New Fundraising Cash Cow To Milk The Brethren With

James Malm, he who is NOT starting a church, has conned some of his acolytes into setting up a "charity" that will keep him in his apartment so he does not have to go out and get a job now.  Only last year was he complaining about being low on funds and needing support.  Today, it is official.  SEND IT IN!  NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With his new money  miking machine, his new COG empire can quickly arise.

Feast sites are planned, weekly broadcasts are being made, tithes and offerings are coming in, life couldn't get any better!  Pretty soon he will be jetting around the world with his message to world leaders about a "strong hand from the Old Testament."  Money will be available for Steuben gifts, suites at Raffles will be booked. Oh the life of an Armstrongite cult leader....

Life has been rough for Malm lately.  He is in desperate need for cash.  He has not been able to receive his income stream and he needs it now.  With his feast in Oregon coming up, his travel and lodging there, he must book the finest establishments as possible.  No more Motel 6 for him.  Super 8, here he comes!

It has been my experience that US Priority Mail is no faster than regular mail, so don’t waste money on that.

Bob Thiel Has A Kenyan Deacon Who Is Conning Him and Various Churches of God for Money

Poor Bob Thiel, being doubly blessed apparently has not given him any double insight into the types of "leaders" he has preaching for his personality cult.  In order to increase his numbers and look like he is doing a worldwide work, Thiel embraced a lot of Africans who claimed they wanted to join his group.  It turns out that they were only after money. Instead of a Nigerian money scam going on, it is a Kenyan money scam. 

Life can't get any more delicious....Thiels tithe money has been conned from him.

James Malm has an article on his blog today about Kenyans who are conning various COG's into giving them money.  They are contacting various COG's telling them that they are a longtime COG members and need financial help.   Kenya, A Warning to The Church of God

On August 19th, in a phone conversation with James Russell, of the Church of God in Truth, “Prove All Things”;  it was discovered that their Nyandiwa Scout Camp [Feast Site]arrangements had fallen through, but they weren’t aware of it in time to withdraw the announcement from being published in their magazine.  

In another unrelated search, it was discovered that a George Otieno was listed as a deacon in the “Continuing Church of God”, led by Bob Thiel.  Otieno is named as a ‘deacon’ in his organization, and is a representative for Thiel (and apparently Russell’s the Church of God in Truth, “Prove All Things”.) simultaneously. 
 
Otieno had contacted Thiel for the first time in about February of 2012 (claiming to have been a long-time member of the WCG / UCG / LCG over time).   Bob Thiel, until August 20th, was not aware of these other affiliations.  

He today (8/21) indicated that he’d found that George Otieno was nephew of Lukas Ogada.  We have long known that Polycal Ormondi Ogalo is also nephew of brother Lukas.  Just this morning (8/21/13) Simon Muthama, rep. for the Living Church of God in Kenya, wrote indicating that Polycap Ogalo and George Otieno are brothers.  

Thiel indicates that his sponsored Feast site was not Nyandiwa.  But, that George Otieno was the contact person for his site at Homa Bay!  The Continuing CoG website lists the location as the Prudence Hotel in Homa Bay.

We are at present drawn to conclude that these men were colluding to draw support from our two organizations, the CCoG-GJ and CoGit (and perhaps others).  When CCoG-GJ balked at sending $17,800+, the deal fell apart. 

The Blatant False Prophecies of Armstrongism That COG's Love To Ignore

A COG False Prophet

This letter was on Exit and Support.  While it is from an exUCG member, it applies to COG members in all the splinter groups who know about but don't talk about HWA and his failed prophecies.  He is highly regarded by most, but a lot don't like to bring him up now at all:

Blatant False Prophecies:

August 5, 2013
I was wondering if you still have Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web book by David Robinson available in PDF form? I think it would be helpful.
We have stopped attending with United Church of God after reading some articles on the history of the WCG and HWA's failed prophecies. I had to really stop and think, "How could God endorse such doctrine proposed by a man who made blatant false prophecies?" UCG never talks of it's relationship with Armstrong. --No longer attending UCG

Here is a list of 209 failed prophecies of Armstrongism
