Obama's Brother Works With Dangerous Church of God Splinter Cult

I was doing a search on Yisrayl Hawkins and the House Yahweh today and discovered this little tidbtit that I had never seen before.  The article is in one of the Church of God's favorite ultraconservative "news" sites...World Net Daily. Bob Thiel and Flurry quote from WND frequently assuming it is a legitimate news source.

NEW YORK – President Obama’s half-brother from Kenya, Abongo Malik Obama, will return Friday to the U.S., not to visit the White House as he has done before, but to begin a partnership with a cult leader in Texas who has been compared to David Koresh and Jim Jones.

Malik will be in Abilene, Texas, to attend the Peaceful Solution Character Education Convention hosted by known polygamist Yisrayl Hawkins, head of a group called the House of Yahweh, reports Arabic-speaking Islam researcher Walid Shoebat.

Hawkin's traces his ties back to the Worldwide Church of God movement under Herbert Armstrong.
Hawkins believes he is personally mentioned in the Bible and has actually rewritten his version of the Bible to include his name and the House of Yahweh in it.  Hawkins also believes that a baby was born in 2007 that will grow up to cause a nuclear ward that will burn the entire earth in a matter of 30 minutes.  Like Bob Thiel and Dave Pack, Hawkins self-appointed himself as God's most important man on earth that will lead the chosen people of God into the kingdom.

In 2008, Hawkins was prosecuted in Baird, Texas, after being charged with performing polygamous weddings and forcing children as young as 11 to work at his 44-acre compound, the the Associated Press reported at the time.

“But this isn’t the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints’ ranch, which authorities raided last month in Eldorado after receiving reports that underage girls were being forced to marry much older men,” the AP noted.

“This is the House of Yahweh: a different, even darker sect that the state has been investigating for years.”

In 2009, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the bigamy charges against Hawkins were dropped in his Callahan County court case, because a Class A misdemeanor bigamy charge had a two-year limitation and the charges dated back to 2005. There also was a resource limitation when the trial judge granted a change in venue from Callahan County to Parker County, Texas.

Hawkins, however, pleaded “no contest” to four counts of child labor violations for which he was assessed a $2,000 fine, 100 hours of community service and 15 months probation for each count.

Shoebat pointed out in a report that Malik has described Hawkins’ group as a “partner organization” in a posting titled “Impacting people everywhere for meaningful change” on his Barack H. Obama Foundation website.

A press release issued this week by Peaceful Solution Character Education promoted the upcoming meeting.

“Various speakers from around the globe, including Malik Obama, yes, the brother of President Obama, will address a variety of issues. The group says each speaker will provide answers that will solve many of the problems being faced in the home, school, workplace, and society as a whole.”

The press release also quoted Yisrayl Hawkins, as founder of the program, saying: “We will give you answers to solve any problem you can think of. Just show up, and be ready to get your solution.”

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
