Yesterday I posted a brief story about the death of William Dankenbring, a former Worldwide Church of God member, writer, and minister. I deliberately did not make any comments about his track record of public pronouncements, predictions or esoteric beliefs. That should not be the point of announcing the death of people who have historical ties to the Church of God movement, and of whom many of us know.
Not so with Almost arrested and jailed Bob Thiel and Chief Pharisaical Zealot James Malm. Both of these false prophets let the spittle fly right off the bat with righteous indignation.
Zealot Malm writes:
29 Aug: Self proclaimed COG prophet William Dankenbring died today from congestive heart failure and renal failure, he had been living in Omak, Washington.
False prophet William Dankenbring had numerous prophetic failures and many obviously false doctrines, which were as unscriptural and as utterly fantastic as Dave Pack’s or Ron Weinland’s. He left the WCG to form Triumph Ministries, establishing himself as a sacred names enthusiast. Most COG folks saw through him but he did have a small following.
Elijah and Second Witless Witness Bob Thiel was even more brutal:
William Dankenbring was a prolific, though often inaccurate, writer. He used to write for the old Radio and Worldwide Church of God until he left and went out on his own.
Although I heard about him originally in the 1970s, my first encounter with William Dankenbring was about 25 year ago. I wrote to him then objecting to some of his writings and asking to be taken off of his mailing list–a mailing list I had never asked to be on. Well, he was not pleased and wrote a tirade against that which he published. All my encounters with him over the years were negative.
William Dankenbring made many false predictions over the years that I have denounced. He was always in error and time proved that.
But perhaps the most egregious negative experience I had with him was when I informed him that a written source he claimed proved at 15th, and not 14th of Nisan, Passover did not say what he claimed it did. He refused to even look at the actual proof when I offered it.
He, like many, had an opinion, and did not want to believe facts that did not support that opinion.
Here we have two certified liars and false prophets, who currently preach unscriptural baloney, proclaiming another fellow COG leader a false prophet and a liar. Talk about total hypocrisy! Thiel and Malm have both lied and made false prophecies and predictions. They both teach heretical crap that has no relevance to a new covenant Christian. Both continue to bow at the altar of Moses while ignoring and diminishing that so inconvenient dude, Jesus. Whoring themselves out to the law apparently is not an issue for them. Nor, is looking inward at their own warped sense of reasoning.
How people respond to the death of these two will be interesting to see. It remains to be seen if they will continue to lie and set wrong dates, and then back peddle and lie again, as they already have been doing, and as Dave Pack and Gerald Flurry do. I can guarantee though that when Gerald Flurry and Dave Pack die there will be no mercy leveled at their death announcements. Perverse men like these do not deserve the honor.
