Philadelphia Church of God Mistreating Members In The Philippines

More sick news concerning the Philadelphia Church of God and is abominable treatment of members.

Exit and Support has this up about a Philippines family:

February 6, 2017 

This is just another sad story among the many on your page. Here is one tragedy. 

For a background, the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Melchizedek Tupas. They were last seen at the Feast of Tabernacles in 2013. 

The couple received the wrath of the former Regional Director of the PCG, John Macdonald due to a trivial incident that happened during the Feast. During one of the services, Mel Tupas forgot to turn-off his mobile phone and, unexpectedly, it sounded an alarm which caught the attention of John Macdonald. That made the man who is well known for his temper and harshness to give the couple the equivalent of capital punishment immediately. They were suspended and not allowed to attend services anymore after that Feast. As called for by the PCG's unreasonable and much abused NO CONTACT POLICY, all the children of the couple who are in the PCG were automatically prevented from having any contact with their parents. They were to be treated like they don't exist anymore or like they are dead already. Consequently, the Tupas couple were abandoned, neglected and forsaken by their children to prove their loyalty and faithfulness to their ministers. 

The Tupas family are not really from Angeles city. They are from Rizal, Palawan, Philippines and they used to have a good life there. All their children were born and raised as well as educated in Palawan. Then things took a wild turn when John Macdonald started to pursue a dream of turning Angeles City into a little Edmond, Oklahoma. 

We still do not know the fate of this couple as they have not been able to contact any friends and family. 

I wish to remain anonymous. Maybe someone reading your site could help us. --Anonymous

United Church of God Minister Stephen Allwine Back In Jail

It was not long after United Church of God minister Stephen Allwine was arrested for killing his wife that his parents jumped up and posted his $500,000 bail.

Some people who knew Allwine thought this was not a good idea for him to be out on bail.  He has/had the resources to possibly flee or do other illegal activities.

His moment of freedom out on bail did not last too long because he did just that!  He is now back in jail for attempting to track down his son with a Smartwatch.

The Star Tribune is reporting:

Cottage Grove murder-for-hire suspect back in jail after allegedly trying to track son via smartwatch

Allwine had been released from jail after posting a conditional $500,000 bail on the second-degree murder charges. But police arrested him Monday, said Fred Fink, criminal division chief in the county attorney’s office, after authorities found he had tried to get in touch with his son. Allwine had been told to have no unsupervised visits with the boy.

The judge wisely raised both bail amounts even higher after this second arrest.

Allwine appeared Wednesday in front of Judge Mary Hannon. She raised unconditional bail to $1.5 million — originally $1 million — and conditional bail to $600,000. The judge ordered Allwine to have no contact with his son or Amy Allwine’s parents.

The victim’s parents, who now have custody of the boy, notified law enforcement that Stephen Allwine had contacted them and asked that they “charge up the GizmoGadget smartwatch and program his phone number in there as well,” Fink said. 

Can you imagine the hell Amy's parents are going through having to deal with the death of their daughter, take care of her son and then to have Allwine contact them?  They promptly reported him to the police.

The victim’s parents, who now have custody of the boy, notified law enforcement that Stephen Allwine had contacted them and asked that they “charge up the GizmoGadget smartwatch and program his phone number in there as well,” Fink said.

Fink argued in court that Allwine’s attempted contact of his son was especially worrisome because of Allwine’s skills with digital technology and the nature of the case against him. 

This court trial is going to end up being a huge mess.  Allwine will work the system to his benefit.  He is already claiming that a disgruntled dog owner was angry with his wife and killed her.

For some reason United Church of God has had bigger percentage of these sick ministers than any other COG.

Philadelphia Church of God: Ruth and Naomi Musical Abomination A Total Flop!

‘The Widow’s Might’ to premiere Dec. 29 at OC

Herbert W. Armstrong College announces its fourth musical theater production, ‘The Widow’s Might —The Story of Naomi, Ruth and Boaz.’ The production will make its debut at Armstrong Auditorium in three performances; at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 29, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 31, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 1.

In this new musical by Armstrong College music director Ryan Malone, one of the most renowned love stories of all time comes to life from the book of Ruth. Follow Naomi and Ruth — two impoverished widows — on their journey as they discover loyalty and love, rescue and redemption. With a lyrical and heart-rending new score, breathtaking step-dancing choreography and brilliantly colored costumes, a 100-strong cast brings this adventure to life in dramatic detail.

Great-grandparents to King David of the Bible, Boaz and Ruth remain the most distinguished royal family of the Old Testament. The hope-filled story comes to vivid life in this new musical – performed by staff and students of Herbert W. Armstrong College teaming up with its sister school Imperial Academy and its internationally acclaimed Irish dancers…”

From a PCG source:

It has been a little over a month now and it is apparent that this musical was a very big flop with the local Edmond Population. Some say it is the disturbing rumors of child/spouse abuse that has leaked out of the Flurry Cult Compound. Others attribute the embarrassing crash and burn to the prosaic and bland overall presentation of this pretentious musical dud. Think of "High School Musical" performed by the Amish.

When the Cult Musical Virtuoso Ryan Malone has his great  Magnum Opus staged by untalented, average looking, average gifted wives of ministers, kids of ministers, Flurry family brown nosers, and other Cult lackeys - what do you expect. This ain't going to be like "Hamilton" folks.

Gerald Flurry bankrolled and underwrote this latest attempt by the PCG to look professional and legitimate to the surrounded Edmond OK populace. With the PCG subsidizing the admission cost all tickets were $10 for adults and even less for children. However this generous cut rate entrance fee failed miserably to jump start this Musical Abomination into the hearts and minds of the public. The most devoted ticket purchasers were..you guessed it....local and out of town PCG members. Those PCG zombies just can't get enough of the Riverdancing Flurry Grand children. 

The privileged elite of the PCG families on stage.

Part of the reason these musicals are turning into epic failures is the use of Paula Malone and other local elite wives of church employees in lead roles.  Local PCG members have complained about being subjected to the screeching of Paula Malone during Sabbath services and recitals. 

This is a perfect picture of a PCG marriage.  

A sanctimonious self-righteous husband with is back turned to a dejected downtrodden wife and the concubine in the middle.  Those boys on the compound sure know how to have fun!

Church members keep wondering when Malone will set the Sodom and Gomorrah story to music.  Imagine how much fun that will be watching Paula Malone turn to a pillar of salt as she is screeching singing! Something tells me that they won't have too much trouble gathering a large cast of scantly clad men to be pounding at the door of Lot's house in the musical. "Cast them out so that we might know them!" Oh my...

The Armstrong Auditorium seats 823 people.  Notice how may attended opening night:

EDMOND—Four-hundred twenty-eight concert-goers watched the premiere of The Widow’s Mighton December 29 at Armstrong Auditorium. The musical, produced by the Philadelphia Church of God and Herbert W. Armstrong College, was also viewed by members around the world watched via a live-stream at live.pcog.org.  

Since the project began in February, more than 100 cast and crew have spent thousands of man hours on props, sets, lighting, costumes, choreography, diction, blocking, staging and recording.  PCG article

It is pretty pathetic that you can't even con church members, employees and students to fill up the building, let alone the public!

Hundreds of thousands of dollars in tithe money have been wasted on these amateur productions, all to please the elite of the Philadelphia Church of God so that the Flurry grand kids can Irish dance.  I bet PCG members never thought they would be financing buildings for the exclusive use of Flurry's grand kids so they can  dance jigs.  Irish dance is a major way of spreading the gospel brethren!  Jesus danced a jig right before he fed the 5,000!
