Joel Hilliker: Men of the PCG Constantly Need Problems, Challenges and Afflictions




Joel Hilliker, part of the elite at the Philadelphia Church of God compound has lived a life of privileged over the years, as has all the "men" working at PCG's headquarters.  He and the rest of them have never known hardship or real distress.  Yet, Hilliker thinks he is qualified to tell other men on how they need to be able to endure hardships.

While being part of the 1% of the PCG he has this to say:

Endure Hardness

2 Timothy was the last book Paul wrote. He wrote it from prison—an uncomfortable place—right before he was put to death. Despite the hardship, 2 Timothy is Paul’s most inspiring book.

The apostle admonished young Timothy, “be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God” (2 Timothy 1:8). Doing your duty before God involves some affliction! Paul suffered to do God’s Work! Read 2 Corinthians 11:24-28. Paul was beaten with 39 stripes five times; beaten with rods three times; stoned and left for dead; shipwrecked three times; he suffered in dangerous journeys, perils, weariness, pain, hunger, thirst, cold, nakedness. He lived a rough life as a minister of God!

Fluury's god expects everyone to struggle and be in constant battle...except for  the elite in Edmond.  Men of the PCG are required to struggle for the good of the PCG.  This translates into working over time so you can send in more money.  Mortgaging your homes, farms and businesses so you can send it in to PCG.

God put this man through a lot! But Paul told Timothy, That’s the way it is! That’s the life we’re called to! God intends for your life to be difficult. He doesn’t intend for you to live your life of snuggling in your comfort zone. He wants you to struggle, battle, overcome, conquer! He wants you to do what needs to be done for the Work of God and the Family of God. “Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 2:1). This is manly advice: Don’t be weak—be strong!

Men of the PCG NEED problems in their lives!  These asswipes ignore the simple quality of Jesus where he says he will carry your burden and make the yoke light.  He says nothing about living a life of finding constant affliction.


“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ” (verse 3). There is hardness that benefits you. We need the problems, challenges and afflictions life presents.

How skilled are you at enduring hardness? God wants you to embrace this struggle. When you do—and you learn to rely on Him—He can develop His character in you!

“God has ordained that this life will not be an easy life—for a very good reason. He knows that, if we have no severe trials and tests, we become spiritually soft and flabby!” says the July 1967 Good News. “A comfortable man is a complacent man. A comfortable man doesn’t want to change—doesn’t want to alter the status quo! Why should he? He is quite happy to let things continue as they are. Why change—when everything seems to be going along so very smoothly?”
Hilliker feels that he and his cult are constantly facing one trial and persecution after another.  These guys  have never known persecution because they are the PERSECUTORS!  Look at the lives of church members which have been destroyed by sick ministers of the PCG.  Look at the families broken up because some ministurd tells a family to kick their child out of the house.  Look at the parents and grandparents who now ignore their children and grandchildren.


“God Almighty knows that we need problems, temptations, trials, necessities, weaknesses, persecutions and afflictions to stir us to action—to stir us up enough to overcome our spiritual lethargy!He knows that we need to have continual trials, tribulations and persecutions in order to toughen us up spiritually—in order to show us how weak and helpless we are so that we will always look to Him and rely on Him for everything!” (ibid).

Challenges reveal your heart (e.g. Deuteronomy 8:2-3). They teach you about yourself, reveal your weaknesses, and show you the areas where you need to be stronger, more like Jesus Christ!

You must get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Men who are part of the PCG need to know that their lives will constantly be uncomfortable.  They will never be able to do anything right.  They will never be able to please Gerald Flurry or his god.  Its a no win situation for these men.

Why Are The Church of God's Too Embarrassed To Answer A Question?


The Church of God has always hidden itself under the basket.  Neighborhoods never knew about COG's in their midst and members never discussed where they attended.  Even Pasadena, with its grandiose buildings and magnificently groomed grounds tried its best to hid from the world.  It was always about Ambassador College or Ambassador Foundation.  The church was never discussed.  Even when Herbert Armstrong was traveling around the world all he could talk about was " a strong hand from someplace."

We are now in the 21st century, decades past the time the church was to have been in Petra during World War III and the Kingdom of God firmly established on earth.  One epic failed prophecy after another has left the Church of God's in disarray and with rapidly shrinking churches.  In spite of all that, they still hide themselves from the world because they are too ashamed of what they believe or teach.

From Exit and Support:

One thing I'm amazed at even at this late date is the splinter groups' continued unwillingness to answer a direct question. Just for inquiry, I contacted several of them that supposedly have "congregations" near where I live, and I was able to get almost ZERO info from them. Most of them responded, but wouldn't answer anything. They wouldn't tell me where and when they meet, they wouldn't tell me how "large" (or tiny) the congregations were, nor what to expect at a service.

I also decided to email the Restored Church of God and asked them quite forthright: "What must a person do to be saved?" I got a long email instructing me to send away for their literature so I could be familiar with their church's teachings. I emailed back and asked again and I got the same response: "Send away for our literature."

Ok, so the "one true church" that only uses the Bible (supposedly) as their source couldn't respond in the same manner Paul responded to the jailer in Acts 16: 30-31 ["Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."]
I responded one more time to them and reminded them of this passage. I received no further responses from them.

David C Pack's Epic Failure of 2013 Now Being Predicted to Happen August 2014



David C Pack made a complete fool of himself last October when he publicly declared that tens of thousands of current and former members would suddenly come to his personality cult and be joined as one body in the ONLY true Church of God ever to exist in 1,900 years.

Because of that incredibly HUGE embarrassment Pack has been hiding away in Wadsworth trying to restore his bruised and sullied ego.  Try as he might, that huge embarrassment continues to hang over his head.  He gathered around him his loyal 16 and agonized over why his prophecy failed and where he had made a  mistake.

In typical Pack fashion he never made a mistake.  God just changed the time table.

Now word is leaking out that Dave has set his sights on August 2014 as the time of the great reunification.  It had better happen this time because Dave has over extended himself with all his new buildings and projects that the money flow cannot keep up with the demand.

A letter sent to Exit and Support had this to say about the new date:

David Pack Still Predicting a Huge Inrush of Members:
June 26, 2014
I want to let you know that David Pack is still predicting a huge "inrush" of members, when his "unprophecy" about three splinter leaders dying together in fire is fulfilled. All eyes are now on this August, since it didn't happen last year on schedule. August is also when the ministry will gather for their yearly conference. I wonder what "new understanding" will be revealed this year? Will any of the members come back to reality, when the "prophecy which is not really a prophecy" fails again? I'm not holding my breath. --[name withheld]
