22 Year Philadelphia Church of "god" Member Finally Leaves The Manipulation of Gerald Flurry Behind



A woman who was a member of Gerald Flurry's personalty cult, the Philadelphia Church of God, relates what she had her family experience in her  22 year membership in the PCG.

She writes what everyone who has been part of Armstrongism has experienced.
When you first come in, it looks so good--lots of friends, laws to live by that seem to promise happiness. All is well--until they think you didn't do something they said to do. Then you're constantly watched as they can't take the chance of you thinking for yourself and breaking rank. Just the smallest thing is suspicious. Then comes the threats. You can't be part of this if you don't follow suit. They begin to instill fear. After that you're hooked. But you keep going on and on because all your friends are there, all your money goes there, and your children are in there.

They have cut you off from the world ever so gradually and replaced everything and everybody with them only. The constant fear of being put out and not "making it into God's Kingdom" keeps you from leaving. You will do anything. Your hope of a lifeline to someone on the outside, to get out, is gone. You have alienated everyone in your family that could help you to get out. You're constantly talking about prophecies and that "we alone" are called and going to the "place of safety" and that no one understands but us in the "true church." It really turns others off.  Giving the Reigns of Our Life Over to Someone Else

Fear is the only way the leaders of all the Armstrongite splinter groups stay in power.  By threatening a member with the lake of fire and eternal damnation for going against them, it scares people enough to keep them submissive and weak.

Cultwatch says this about fear:

Cult leadership is feared. To disagree with leadership is the same as disagreeing with God. The cult leaders will claim to have direct authority from God to control almost all aspects of your life. If the cult is not a religious group then questioning the leaders or program will still be seen as a sign of rebellion and stupidity.

Guilt will be used to control you. Maybe the reason you’re not making money is because you’re not “with the programme”. Maybe the reason you’re not able to convert new recruits is because “your heart is prideful and full of sin”. It could never be that the programme isn’t working, or those new recruits have valid reasons for not joining. It’s always your fault, you are always wrong, and so you must try harder! You will also be made to feel very guilty for disobeying any of the cult’s written or unwritten rules.
 Psychology Today writes:


.....pathologically narcissistic. They all have or had an over-abundant belief that they were special, that they and they alone had the answers to problems, and that they had to be revered. They demanded perfect loyalty from followers, they overvalued themselves and devalued those around them, they were intolerant of criticism, and above all they did not like being questioned or challenged. And yet, in spite of these less than charming traits, they had no trouble attracting those who were willing to overlook these features. 

"Pathologically narcissistic" is a great description of the leadership of almost all the Church of God's.  One needs to look no further than David C Pack and Gerald Flurry to see these traits blatantly obvious.

On a Facebook page recently, a person wrote that they witnessed a scene with David C Pack that left them appalled.  It seems a group of young men and women were standing around waiting for Dave to arrive.  When he did, the guys rushed to see who got to open Dave's car door first as they shoved the women aside. 

Demanding extreme loyalty is the only way these men stay in power.

JC Returning in 2020! In The Meantime Pleeeeeeeease Send Me Money!

 Detail from a Puck magazine cartoon, "Superstition Has Always Ruled the World," April 19, 1901. Satirizes the Millerites, followers of William Miller, who predicted the return of Jesus in the 1840s.

 "The salamander safe." A millerite preparing for the 23rd of April." A playful caricature of a Millerite, an adherent of the Adventist preacher William Miller who predicted that the world would end on April 23, 1844.

Ever since William Miller's epic prophetic failure the Church of God has  been filled with so  many prophets that its hard to keep track on who is actually a real one.  We've all seen how that worked with Herbert Armstrong...not one thing he prophesied came true. Dave Pack has been an epic failure these past several years with his prophecy that three COG leaders would be struck down by his god and all their followers would flock to his group.  Not one thing Gerald Flurry prophesied has come true.  UCG and COGWA are just plain impotent in that department.  That leaves only one TRUE prophet out there...James Malm!

His prophecy today is:

This post is about prophecy and personal plans for this work in the coming months.

The 2,300 day prophecy reveals that the sanctuary will be cleansed 2,300 years after the empire of Alexander is divided into four parts; cleansed by the coming of Christ.  The difficulty lies in determining the date that the empire became four parts and the start of the prophecy.  

The year of the division of Alexander’s empire into only four parts has now finally become clear and the coming of Christ is to be expected according to the Prophecy of God in 2020.  
No one in 1,900 years has ever been able to understand this till James came on the scene!
The fact that no one knew this during the life of Christ does not contradict Revelation 4-5 where Jesus is found qualified to UNSEAL these things AFTER his resurrection!   “No one knows” does not mean that no one will ever know!  

As Dan 12 tells us these things were sealed until the end time and at that time Jesus Christ will unseal [As per Rev 4-5 and Daniel 12] these things and reveal them in a large increase of spiritual knowledge.  

There is an extremely high probability [at least 90%] that Christ will come in early  2020 and that the abomination will be set up in the Vatican in early Oct 2016 with the tribulation beginning by the end of 2016. 


Being a prophet is a HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD work brethren!  Devoting sixteen hours EVVVVVVVVVVERY day is taxing on the wallet!  Having a real job apparently does not play into this picture of being a prophet.  This huge financial drain on Malm is cutting into his time writing his book and other articles.

As we get close to Passover if necessary I will leave the book I am working on, to return to it after Passover, as I want to cover John right before Passover.  
 
Then during the summer I want to complete the Gospels and also the Epistles leading up to the fall Feast.  At the same time I want to keep up with world and COG news and I also want to do studies on specific doctrinal matters and issues such as child rearing, marriage physical and spiritual  etc.  

To apply myself about 16 hours a day  seven days a week in composing articles for posting [remember that nearly every post takes hours of study, thought and preparation], and also in personal counseling; I need your prayers and financial support to complete this work
It is also time for this true followers to cut back on their standard of living in order to send it in for the final push.  That loyalty to the prophet with their finances will earn them high favor with Malm's god.

As we see God’s correction coming into sight; this work must be redoubled; and we must all awake and run to our Mighty God and to a zeal for his Word.  In that way true unity with God will come for the called out.  
 How can one not support a prophet with the following mission?

  • Brethren I am come  NOT to sow division from God, but to HEAL THE DIVISION of the brethren FROM GOD;  by calling all to sincere repentance and a wholehearted relatiuonship with Almighty God! 
  • I have come as a healer of the divisions between the brethren and God!  If that means that I must call the brethren to divide themselves from sin;  I will do so without compromise or hint of holding back!   
  • Yes, I AM dividing the faithful brethren from following idols of men and false traditions to turn to an intense zeal to learn and to keep the whole Word of God!  I am wielding the sharp two edged sword of truth, dividing the holy from the profane; according to the Word of Almighty God!  
  • In order to reconcile with God, it is essential to divide ourselves from our idols and false traditions: Yes in that sense I am causing division:  Division from idolatry and sin, and reconciliation to God!  
  • Brethren the time of our judgment for following men blindly and without question is at hand, within the next months.  
  • I can proclaim zeal for God, but the choice is yours. 

The question now needs to be asked....when will all of you reprobates return to the this slop?

God's Most Highly Favored Prophet INCENSED That Some LCG Members Celebrate Birthdays



God's most favorite end-time prophet to ever exist (sorry Davie Pack-it's not you) is getting bent all out of shape over some Living Church of God members who DARED to think for themselves and voice the opinion that it is not wrong to celebrate birthdays.  HOW DARE THEY!  Don't those heathen laodiceans know that the minute they cut into the cake they allow Satan a portal into their mind?


Ended up getting some type of a link to a Facebook discussion of claimed (mainly) LCG members who were discussing and basically advocating the celebration of birthdays. This has been a problem in LCG in the past, and apparently this is growing--that is disturbing.  

While I was in LCG, some would complain to me that various ones there were celebrating birthdays and I told them that LCG taught against the celebration of them (which it presumably still does, though not all there realize this).  Bob Thiel
