Straitway Life Ministry: Another Splinter Group Claiming To Have ALL The Answers

Identify Fake Christians Who Follow Another... by straitwaylife

In the first few seconds of Brother Dawid's video you will immediately see that he places his significance upon the law by having illustrations of the temple and the ark.  Like most in Armstrongism the law trumps everything.  Just another confused dude spouting hot air.   At least he has a straight backdrop unlike Bob Thiel.  Why do all these know-it-alls always look and sound batshit crazy?

New Book: Walking From Lockney To Jerusalem: My Life In The Worldwide Church of God

For those interested:


From Amazon:

It’s a walk of faith--and it also involves a “faith of inconvienence”...Join Coy Reece Holley as he takes you through a "walking tour" of his life in this unique "memoir with a twist in ”Walking From Lockney To Jerusalem: My Life In The Worldwide Church of God". This book will help you see evangelical Christianity through totally different eyes and will provoke you to explore issues not only in religion, but also in society that you may not have otherwise considered. He also recounts his own unique journey as a member of the Worldwide Church of God originally founded by Herbert W. Armstrong (now called Grace Communion International) through an insider's perspective of what happened in the years shortly before Joseph W. Tkach, Sr.'s 1994 "Christmas Eve" sermon as well as the aftermath of "the changes" within WCG/GCI that followed. Mr. Holley tells the story of how those "changes" have impacted both past and present WCG/GCI members even to this day.

From Authonomy:

Come join me on a TRUE "walk of faith" by reading "Walking From Lockney To Jerusalem"!

Second Corinthians 5:7 reminds us that we "...walk by faith, not by sight." For most people in evangelical Christianity, this particular verse is a hard passage to put into practice. But my own life has proved to be an continued practical lab experiment that my God has used to put abstract spiritual concepts on the bottom shelf and make them more easily understandable. "Walking From Lockney To Jerusalem: My Life In The Worldwide Church of God" serves as an autobiographical account of not only my own personal life story, but also particularly emphasizing the personal journey I underwent in becoming a member of a church that just 25 years ago was once called a "cult" by many in orthodox Christianity, but which has since renounced previous unBiblical teachings for the cause of Christ. In "Walking...", I recount from an insider's perspective both the positive experiences as well as the trail of tears that myself and many other WCG members experienced after "...the changes". I also use some of my own stories as a way to give voice to other WCG brethren who still to this day have problems in expressing how they feel about what has happened in WCG/GCI.

Gerald Flurry Still Looking To Establish A "College" In An Area Known For Nudism and Wicca

Click picture to enlarge

Gerald Flurry seems to be having some issues in finding a suitable estate in the UK to start a satellite version of his idolatrous Herbert W Armstrong "college" based in Edmond Oklahoma.  Flurry originally had his sights set on buying parts of the old Bricket Wood campus that the Worldwide Church of God owned in the 1960's and 70's.

Most COG members never knew that Bricket Wood held some dark secrets that most would never have appraoved of in the church: nudism and wicca.

During the 1930s the area became popular with naturists after Charles Macaskie set up a naturist camp on the outskirts of the village. Naturists bought up plots of land on the edge of the village and built their own communities, which at first didn't have electricity or running water. The village also began to attract Wiccans after Gerald Gardner set up Bricket Wood coven.

Naturism

The village of Bricket Wood has been host to at least six naturist clubs: Fiveacres Country Club, Spielplatz, The Sun-Folk Society, Gardenia (originally named Silverbirch), Diogenes Sunlight Society (also known as The Phoenix Recreational Society), and The Suncampers. Of these, Gardenia has now closed and been built on, Diogenes became the Diogenes Sun Club when it moved to near Maple Cross. The Suncampers have gone but the three remaining clubs are all still open.
The clubs have been there for many years. Fiveacres Country Club was founded in 1927 off Oakwood Road and is the UK's oldest naturist club on the same site. Spielplatz was founded by the Mackaskies in 1929 after visiting Fiveacres and they purchased their own site in the village in Lye Lane , The Sun-Folk Society started in 1931.

Wicca

In 1954 Gerald Gardner published his book "Witchcraft Today" to advance his own practice of Wicca as a modern religion. He established his first coven at Bricket Wood. Gerald Gardner operated his coven from Fiveacre Country Club in Bricket Wood.[1]

6+ Hour Sermon Still Plodding Along on 16+ Different Topics. Gerald Waterhouse Is Jealous!!!!!!!

Remember those wonderful days sitting in a boiling tent listening to the Church of God's greatest buffoon talk on and on and on and on.... Four hours after the wind bag droning on he would still have something he felt needed to be said.  Then after it was all over  you sat there and thought to yourself, "What the hell was that all about?  He never  really said anything that was worth remembering!"

Since the death of Gerald Waterhouse the COG has had an empty void that needed to be filled.  There have been many windbags over the years but none has ever compared to Waterhouse.  That may be changing. Though this new preacher has been splitting his up into 1+ hour segments.  Week after week he plods along never sticking to one point by jumping all over the place.

Here is what he brags about in his 5th sermon in his series:

This is the fifth of a multi-part sermon series by ______ covering the Gospel account credited to Luke. This sermon covers chapters 12 through 13. _____ discusses hypocritical religious leader, that souls can die, standing for Jesus, persecution, the parable of ‘the rich fool,’ Christian priorities, the ‘little flock,’ treasure, being ready, watching prophecy, explains that to whom much is given much is required, Jesus’ plan was divisive not ecumenical, discerning the signs of the time, that God has some patience for those who have not born fruit yet, Sabbath hypocrisy, parable of the mustard seed, the kingdom of God, the narrow way, and those unwilling to listen.

 Its exhausting just reading all the topics!

The other previous sermons are just as convoluted and over inflated with nonsense.  Why anyone sits there and listens to this drivel is beyond me.  All prophet, apostle, Elijah Thiel talks about is the "ministry of death-the law" and nothing about Jesus.
