It's hard to believe that this little blog is close
to reaching 3.2 million hits in the next few days. What was started as a
pastime to highlight the craziness of some in the Church of God movement has
now morphed into the "go to" source for information on the Living
Church of God, United Church and Restored Church of God.
We have really struck a nerve in LCG, UCG and RCG. Many members in
these groups are frustrated by the lies and cover ups presently going on in
their groups. They suffer under abusive tactics of ministers and see
tithe money foolishly spend on building lavish mini-me campuses and decorating
offices, because coddling the child of a leader is more important than the
hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted redecorating office space. Millions are being spent to build buildings
that no one is allowed to be in other than the elite of the church
leadership.
For decades the church felt it was not accountable to the membership for
anything. The leadership was above
reproach and and criticism of them was the same as criticizing God.
Then, the internet became available and information freely flowed
about. The church leadership could no
longer contain the flow of information coming from the PR departments. The membership rebelled and spilled the beans
on countless abuses and injustices.
The church splintered into hundreds and hundreds of little groups. Some benign and some more abusive than the
parent organization. Information continued
to flow out and various leadership went into massive meltdowns. The membership continued
to share horror stories as the leadership continues to abuse.
2016 certainly will leader to another year of horrendous stories of
abuse in the various churches. Dave Pack will continue to claim he has the most
superfantabulous Church of God to ever exist as tens of thousands of COG
members still refuse to join his cult.
Rod Meredith will fade further from the scene as his health and mental capacities
deteriorates. United will still continue to spend hundreds of thousands of
dollars on failed campaigns and billboards as the public continues to ignore
them.
The Churches of God are in their last days. Not the biblical last days they desperately
want to see explode around them, but the last days brought on by their own
lies, abuses and lusts. They need the end
times to happen in order to make themselves look legitimate. Decades of lies and failed prophecies have not
deterred them. As they continue to lie
and spread false prophecies, we here on Banned and on the various other COG related
sites will continue to post information about them.
Here’s to another fun year!
