Bob Thiel, Ever the Comedian, the Hobbit Talks About Women




Bob Thiel, is  he a Hobbit or what?  

Does he realize how stupid he still looks sitting in front of that crooked bookcase?  Bookcases that have doors on them usually only cover a couple of shelves on the bottom of the bookcase.  Look across the room at your book case and see if your doors go up over halfway as Bob's do in his videos.  Those doors extend up past his chair.  Everything about the image he presents is off kilter, just like his ministry.

He starts off trying to be cute and humorous about women in the New Testament.  You can hear his wife or some other female chortle along with him.  Then he starts flapping his arms, waving his wrists and laughing that it so is distracting to what he is trying to get across that you will quickly tune out after 3 minutes.

Bob Thiel's Vengeful god Is Back Punishing California With Wildfires



Bob Thiel's god is apparently on a rampage in California again.  Is his god so pissed off that he let a Kenyan still tithe money that it is punishing the State of California because Thiel lives here?  That logic is about as logical as Thiel's claim that his god is trying to wake the world up.

Wildfires are part of the Sierra in the summer. But no one has seen a fire this out of control since 1987 when all of California seemed to be burning.  http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-yosemite-fire-20130824,0,1432454.story?page=1
The Bible shows that God uses weather to get people’s attention. Sometimes to punish, sometimes to lead to repentance, and other times to consider that God, not humankind, is in control.
Wildfires have always been a part of the world humanity lives it.  It is a natural way of cleaning overgrowth to allow new growth to start anew.  Only because we have a hyperventilating press and a population that has moved into theses areas, are they in the news so much.   Then, coupling that with the whacked out view of a nutty Armstrongite spouting "biblical" passages and you have the ultimate godly super-storm of wrath and punishment.
Although California historically has wildfires, the Bible also mentions fire as a tool that God sometimes uses. Here are some examples:
11 The Lord said:
“Surely it will be well with your remnant;
Surely I will cause the enemy to intercede with you
In the time of adversity and in the time of affliction.
12 Can anyone break iron,
The northern iron and the bronze?
13 Your wealth and your treasures
I will give as plunder without price,
Because of all your sins,
Throughout your territories.
14 And I will make you cross over with your enemies
Into a land which you do not know;
For a fire is kindled in My anger,
Which shall burn upon you.” (Jeremiah 15:11-14)
12 O house of David! Thus says the Lord:
“Execute judgment in the morning;
And deliver him who is plundered
Out of the hand of the oppressor,
Lest My fury go forth like fire
And burn so that no one can quench it,
Because of the evil of your doings.
13 “Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley,
And rock of the plain,” says the Lord,
“Who say, ‘Who shall come down against us?
Or who shall enter our dwellings?’
14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,” says the Lord;
“I will kindle a fire in its forest,
And it shall devour all things around it.”‘ (Jeremiah 21:12-14)
11 The Lord has fulfilled His fury,
He has poured out His fierce anger.
He kindled a fire in Zion,
And it has devoured its foundations. (Lamentations 4:11)
15 There the fire will devour you,
The sword will cut you off;
It will eat you up like a locust. (Nahum 3:15)
But have comfort Oh distressed ones....the non-ordained and s self-appointed Chief Overseer of the worlds most import Church of God doing an end-time work, Dr. Bob is praying for you!

My family used to live near the area of the current wildfire and I know of people who are being affected by it.
Then we see the REAL point of Thiels article, those gays are the cause of it.
My prayers are with those affected by the fires.  I also pray that those in California will repent as worse problems are ahead if it continues to go in a moral direction away from the Bible.  California set a bad standard last Fall when it became the first USA state to outlaw attempts to convert homosexuals from that ‘lifestyle’ (see California’s Brown Signs Anti-Homosexual Conversion Bill)–the State of New Jersey recently followed California’s bad example (see Republican Christie to sign bill outlawing homosexual conversion therapy).  Additionally, the State of California has other issues where it is also setting very bad examples (such as the production of pornographic entertainment).
The same old drumbeat of Armstrongism marches on and on, thankfully the  drum skins are getting old and will soon break leaving these buffoons with nothing to scare people with.

E. W. King: The Most Important Thing The Church Does Is Stay At Home And Focus Upon One's Self



Armstrongism has always thought of itself as special and set apart.  God was only working with and was only going to save COG members in that great day of trial and tribulation.  The world was not to be bothered with other than to warn them to shape up or else.  Nothing else was done for the world because God was going to fix it all later.

E. W King the new and current leader of the REAL Worldwide Church of God proves that point with this idiocy:

The Worldwide Church of God is the center of Christian Life. We are the “body of Christ”. As true believers and those experiencing true conversion we continue to grow together and learn from each other. We are most importantly the Church at home, with fellow family members. The home is the sacred meeting place for Christian Life.
The observant Christian begins the day and ends it with prayer. All of our meals are accompanied by prayer and concluded with it. We eat the diet that our Heavenly Father advises. Our every week ends with Holy Sabbath rest. We as families come together in our homes on Friday evening and light Sabbath candles and say prayers to invite the Sabbath experience into our lives. This is consistent from childhood to adulthood. We also observe all of God’s holy festivals. As family and friends come together God is praised and fellowship begins. Our children are taught the moral commandments of God and experience the importance of family life. We learn that ALL LIFE is precious. 
The entire life cycle of the child revolves around God’s church. From baptism to weekly Sabbath experience, from holy festival to holy festival, from eating to sleeping, from praying and talking with mom and dad, husband and wife - we experience God’s love like no other people on this earth. Home worship is extremely important. Preparing our children to one day marry as God has ordained is extremely important. We pray and worship without ever having to leave our homes to go to some fancy building.

That's rgith, clos eyourselves up on your homes, homeschool your kids, only read boks written by Herbert Armstorng, associate only wiht your closest church members and above all NEVER, NEVER help the world!

Many denominations today have lowered the standard of God. They do this to get members. The true Church of God is not worried about membership numbers. The true Church of God will always be a remnant. [Revelation 12:17] We should all pray for courage to talk with others about the true gospel of the Kingdom. Only God’s coming kingdom will solve all of our problems. In the mean time we can rest in His one true church. This Devil-ruled world does not want the Good News of the Kingdom or the laws of our Great God. Truly obeying all of God’s laws will indeed bring health and healing on all levels.

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.
