REAL Christians Will NOT Watch The Super Bowl



God's most important man on earth, after Davey Pack, is back tossing deflated footballs at COG members who will be gathering to watch the Super Bowl.  It's a pagan filthy celebration that REAL Christians would dream of watching.

This coming Sunday is known as “Super Bowl Sunday” in the USA. Most years, the American football (which is not the same as the sport called soccer in the USA) contest known as the Superbowl is the most watched television program in the USA. Between 100,000,000-200,000,000 are expected to intentionally (as opposed to perhaps seeing a news item about it) watch at least some of it today according to various reports.

Self appointed false prophet Bob  Thiel is back spitting spittle about the dangers of football and how it causes people to not "love their neighbor."
9…You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. (Romans 13:9-10, NKJV)
The Super Bowl will do harm to participants in it.
The New Testament also warns Christians against being violent or approving of those that are (Romans 1:28-32), while history records that early Christians would not watch violent sports. Notice one such report from Theophilus of Antioch perhaps written about 180 A.D.:
Consider, therefore, whether those who teach such things can possibly live indifferently, and be commingled in unlawful intercourse, or, most impious of all, eat human flesh, especially when we are forbidden so much as to witness shows of gladiators, lest we become partakers and abettors of murdersBut neither may we see the other spectacles, lest our eyes and ears be defiled, participating in the utterances there sung. (Theophilus of Antioch. To Autolycus, Book III, Chapter XV. Translated by Marcus Dods, A.M. Excerpted from Ante-Nicene Fathers, Volume 2. Edited by Alexander Roberts & James Donaldson. American Edition, 1885. Online Edition)
So, Christians did not believe that they were to watch the violent sports so popular in the second century.

Get on your knees and repent from watching this blasphemy!  But if you sneak a peak remember that Passover is approaching and you will be forgiven.  So enjoy!

Dave Pack: Chief COG Narcissist Announces He Is Going To Make An Announcement



What would this world and the Church of God be like if the most important man in human history did not exist?  Jesus be damned! Dave's the man!

The Chief Narcissist of the Churches of God has been in hiding since the epic failure of his prophecy that three COG leaders would be killed by his god and that all of their members would jump ship to his cult based in Wadsworth.  Two years in a row this prophecy has FAILED.  None of his antagonists died and NONE of their members jumped shipped with their money to join Dave's magical mystery tour.

Stung by that failed prophecy, declining membership and dramatic drop in income, Davey had do delay his mini-me auditorium and his student center.  Davey is now ready to let the world know that the largest and most superfantabulous COG to exist in history is exploding at the seams with new members joining up and bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars with them.



We will be blessed on Friday with his amazing earth shattering announcement.

The annual “Fruits” letter from Pastor General David C. Pack will be made available next week. As in previous years, it is bursting with statistics of The Restored Church of God’s tremendous growth across many categories, as well as staggering eyewitness accounts of God’s blessings and interventions on behalf of His people—way beyond anything we have ever posted. Be sure to check this page.

UPDATED: It Is An ABOMINATION To Put A Premature Baby On Life Support



The perverse "logic" of James Malm continues unabated.  Did you know that it is an abomination to put a premature baby on life support if the mother was not able to complete the pregnancy?

The idea that anyone follows this asshat is amazing! Why are so many Armstrongite cultists attracted to these theologically bankrupt blasphemous idiots?

“If Jesus was produced by the Father’s sperm combining with Mary’s egg we have several issues 
A.  As it is written in spirit there is no man or woman. Spirits have no sex and cannot reproduce sexually.
B.  You have the Father committing adultery with Mary,  Since she was not the Father’s wife and was the espoused wife of another.
C  You are calling Christ a bastard since he would have been conceived by adultery…….
The truth is that man was made after the God kind, and the very Creator gave up his God-hood to be made flesh and was inserted into the womb of Mary as an already complete human embryo by God the Father; in the same sense that a human embryo can be inserted into a surrogate mother today.”
I find your logic for the above two scenarios a little difficult to follow.
If we look at this in terms of a physical marriage, you seem to be saying that with a married couple who are unable to have children, it would be permissible for the wife to be implanted with an embryo from a completely different couple, and produce a baby that was not related in any way to the woman or her husband.
However you also seem to be saying that if the embryo was from the woman’s own egg, and a donor sperm (as would be the case with an infertile husband), then that would be adultery, and the child would be a bastard.
So carrying and giving birth to a genetically unrelated child is OK, but doing the same for a child which has genetic input from one of the partners is not OK?
CORRECT! In your first case the woman is only a provider of care; in your second case she is an adulteress: but you are switching the issue from the Father to the woman. If a man produces a child by another man’s wife; he IS an adulterer!
That is basic; no man may have another man’s wife; and if a man father’s a child by another man’s wife the child is a bastard and the man is an adulterer. To say that God the Father placed his sperm [which he does not have being a spirit] in Mary, an already promised woman; is accusing the Father of either adultery or fornication. It is calling the Son a bastard. Such claims are blasphemy. 
For a woman with an infertile husband to give herself or her eggs to another male in an effort to make a child is adultery; the child is born a bastard; it is an abomination! 
Really this is so basic. if you were infertile would you want another man servicing your wife? and even if you did want that; either by intercourse or by mixing in a test tube; it would still be adultery! 
On the other hand it is wrong to take a child conceived by you and your own wife, and put it on life support for a few months if your wife could not complete the term of pregnancy.
Also the fact that in vitro results in the destruction of multiple fertilized eggs is also an abomination! I know that several women in UCG have engaged in this appalling abomination with the advice of false elders. James


James responds to this post:
Sir
I am informed that you have copied a para answering a comment; before it was edited. 
 
The correct comment response was:
 
"On the other hand is it wrong to take a child conceived by you and your own wife, and put it on life support for a few months if your wife could not complete the term of pregnancy?  Of course not."
 
This should have been obvious by the context.

Is Rod Meredith Running LCG for the Benefit of His Family and Friends?



A Comment from the previous posting about the Meredith family empire.


Not long ago, I was shown a letter written by an LCG member to a minister in another ACOG. Here is the letter, with some personal information removed:

Dear [minister’s name]:

[Family member and] I are at our wit’s end and don’t know what to do. [Family member] was baptized in [YEAR], and for a while we were both very excited to hear Dr. Meredith and the other ministers preaching from the Bible, teaching so many wonderful things.

When [my family member] moved to Charlotte, I was so happy for [my family member]. Unfortunately, what we have learned since then has torn us up inside.

The shocking truth is that Dr. Meredith is a constant liar who runs LCG for the benefit of his children and their friends. His children have broken civil laws and moral laws that would get any other member kicked out, but family members keep collecting their paychecks. The sheer amount of sin among Dr. Meredith’s own family members is hard to believe unless you see it for yourself. What is even harder to believe is that not only does he tolerate it, he rewards it with office jobs and big salaries. I know this is so hard for loyal LCG members to believe, but [family member] has seen it and could testify in court if required to. It isn’t false rumor.

Even aside from his own family members, Dr. Meredith puts other liars and abusive ministers in positions of authority, and when innocent people ask him about this he attacks or even disfellowships them. Because of this, LCG’s income is down, and Dr. Meredith may soon bankrupt LCG, just as he bankrupted GCG, though the liars around Dr. Meredith are taking big steps to hide this from members.

Behind their backs, Dr. Meredith says awful things about some of his top ministers. Ambitious younger ministers trash-talk Dr. Meredith and are eagerly waiting for him (and other older ministers) to die, so they can move up in the organization. There is no love or loyalty among the ministers in Charlotte, only competition.

Other LCG members have told us these kinds of problems are found in every Church of God headquarters office, and that it was even worse under Mr. Herbert Armstrong, so we should be glad it isn’t even worse than it is at LCG.

My question to you is simple. If [family member] moves to [Home Office city], will [family member] find more of the same, and become even more discouraged? I am concerned that if [family member] moves and only finds more of the same, the discouragement will be too much for either of us to bare.

Please, no more lies. Is [group name] a place where the leadership sincerely tries to live by the bible, and where people do not get ahead through lies and cruel acts? Or must we wait until Christ’s return to find peace and truth and decency in the ministers we rely on?
