Ron Weinland Loses More Members

Ever since Ron Weinland went off for a prophetic honeymoon of 3 1/2 years with Big Bubba as his cellmate, the Church of God Preaching the Kingdom has been losing members.  Then when his loony wife Laura and money laundering Audra were elevated to preaching positions, even more members left.  We all know how painful it must be to sit and listen to Ronnie pontificate for 2 hours in his basement on some balmy Saturday afternoon, but imagine 2 hours of loony Laura and Audra! The licking flames of the lake of fire would be comforting to see at this point!

Even after felon Ronnie got out of his half-way house, he has been struggling to keep his dwindling flock in check.  More and more people leave each week, taking their money thus forcing Laura to stop buying lingerie in Las Vegas.

Ronnie mentioned in his sermon this past Saturn's Day the following:

“So the question, again, was asked: “So is anyone being sloppy, negligent in how they follow or choose to believe the instruction, the guidance, and direction God is giving now and that He has given to us in the past?” Because as it was brought out in several sermons, this is happening way, way, way too much. Two more people in this past week now being suspended and one disfellowshipped, and there are more to come. For those who don’t respond, to those who don’t listen to God, those who aren’t making change in their life, this is it.

As I mentioned during the Feast, this is it, and God is bringing these things to the surface and they’re being dealt with. Either we’re really in the Body and we’re functioning within the Body as we should be or we’re not, and if we’re not there is no sense in playing games anymore. There is no sense in wandering around blind out in the courtyard, and maybe farther away than that. So we’re following through and doing what needs to be done to cleanse God’s Church.”

He then goes on to call his followers that question his revelations, fools and stupid.

“How long will scorners take pleasure in scorning, and fools, again, as I mentioned in that particular sermon, basically just a word that means to be stupid. Because we’re really stupid if we neglect what God has placed before us, if we don’t fight this fight after being ever how long you’ve been called and a part of God’s Church and at a time of all time in all human history to not use what we’ve been given, to take it seriously. We would be most stupid to neglect what God has given to us. Yet there are people out there being, candidly, stupid. I mean, there really is no other word for it, just stupid, not very bright. I have a hard time understanding that and yet I don’t.

...and fools/the stupid hate knowledge. Because there is knowledge that God gives to us that we’re to apply to self. There is a sound that has been going out so powerfully before the Feast, a sound that God has been giving during the Feast, and it’s up to us to hear it and to receive it.”

Ronnie is particularly pissed that some of his flock would rather stay home and watch TV on Saturn's Day than to assemble with other members and listen to him preach.

“There are too many people neglecting fellowship with God’s people when they could be having fellowship with God’s people; too many people doing that in the Church. Okay? It’s easier to stay at home and watch it or whatever on TV or listen to it. Now, if you’re not able to that’s one thing, but if you have the ability to, shame on you. Because this is where, here and other areas where people are today, wherever your congregation or group of people is that meet together, there is a fellowship there, as was mentioned during the Feast, that you’re able to have with God, because these are God’s people and God’s spirit is in them and we’re lifted up by that and we’re strengthened by that. We’re not strengthened by that by being on our own unless you can’t help it.”

The Most Important Book To Gerald Flurry After MOA and Malachi's Message

Gerald Flurry has claimed his Malichai's Message and Herbert's, Mystery of the Ages are on the same level of importance as the Bible.  They are so important that they will eventually be made into scripture.  These books should be in every one's library.

Now it seems Flurry has been influenced by another book.  A book so significant that it has influenced the editorial department of the Philadelphia Church of God.

Let me give you an example. One time, when the Key of David tv crew was waiting in Heathrow Airport for our return flight to the States, we decided to shop. My dad, as he typically does, made a beeline for the bookstore. He left the store with a new volume tucked under his arm: Full Disclosureby Andrew Neil. It was several weeks later when I realized the importance of that book, as my dad quoted large portions of it at an Editorial meeting.

The impact of that one book has been significant. In the editorial department alone, it has helped to better organize our publications and improve our writing. My dad later told me, “It’s as if that book was written for this Work.”

Keep a watchful eye on what the Church quotes or often refers to. If it is good enough to be quoted extensively in the Trumpet, it may be worth adding to your library. Be observant, seek the advice of those knowledgeable in certain fields, and you will have no problem finding plenty of good books. Your problem will then be trying to narrow your selections down.

Andrew Neil's autobiography. As Managing Editor of Britain's Sunday Times he was the most powerful and innovatiev editor in Britain's Fleet Street. He fought with The Royal Family, endlessly with Margaret Thatcher and eventually with the paper's new owner Rupert Murdoch. Fascinating and required read for anyone interested in journalism

All of this comes from the latest article by Lil'Steveie Flurry telling PCG members to build home libraries.  Forget the fact they will be fleeing in a couple of years, it is important to build worthy libraries.  Your Personal Library: Build a book collection like Churchill.

This desire to have a library like Winston Churchill comes about after Gerald Flurry was filled with lust in his heart after viewing Churchill's library.

“Wouldn’t you like to get your hands on that?” my dad remarked as he gazed at Winston Churchill’s private library. We were in Chartwell, England, at Churchill’s home. Churchill was a great man, and the books on those shelves—still preserved just as Churchill had left them—helped to shape his mind. That’s why my dad wanted them.

I am surprised at Flurry's great desire to have a huge library, considering his idol, Herbert Armstrong did not have a huge collection of books in his home.  His library was rather small but was decorated with expensive gold and silver statues, some rare books that he never opened other than the day he bought them at Harrod's and a few personal books, like Message to Garcia, which he kept on his desktop.

Once your small, personal library is in place, don’t just give each book a cursory read. Study those books. Read to learn. And every so often, re-read. This seems obvious for books like Malachi’s Message and Mystery of the Ages, but we rarely apply this principle to secular reading. Why not? We’re better off mastering 20 or 30 excellent volumes than quickly browsing 100. 

Mr. Armstrong often said that the Bible does not contain all knowledge; it is merely the foundationof all knowledge. God expects us to build upon that foundation. He admonishes us to prove allthings—to keep growing. There is always room for improvement. Education never stops.

God has given each of us a responsibility to develop character as we support this Work. Studying history and the lives of great men and women, keeping up with current events, and reading all of the Church-produced material makes us more responsible in our role.

Develop your own 20- or 30-volume set, and then let those books shape and mold your thinking the way Churchill’s library did his.

Pastor General Report 08/29/80

"To say Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong is NOT a Saint, is kin to the UNPARDONABLE SIN!"

The Kitchen clan have a bizarre posting up on Facebook concerning HWA and the unpardonable sin.

A person that one of the Kitchen's had attempted to "friend" on Facebook rejected his friendship when she found out he was not a Living Church of God member.

She made this comment:

"Mr. Merideth was appointed by the church board members, all ministers. I don't know where you get your info. but you are wrong on more than one count. My. Armstrong was a very good and intelligent man and he loved Father God and he taught others to be the same. He is not a Saint. Nor is He an apostle. He would be the very first to say so. I am sorry you do not understand your Bible better and that you believe without proof in your fellow man."

Her comment above, that HWA was not a saint, sent the Kitchen clan into a pretribulation Laodicean meltdown.

To say Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong is NOT a Saint, is kin to the UNPARDONABLE SIN!
It is saying he had NO HOLY SPIRIT within him, and therefore is NOT a member of the Church, and therefore WILL NOT rise to meet Christ in the air on the last trump of God! And that sentences him to the third resurrection does it not? The Lake of fire?

And to say he is NOT an apostle, and that Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong would be the first to say he is NOT a Saint, and apostle? Read Mr. Armstrong's articles! Listen to his sermons! In his article “How Christ gives Church its beliefs” he specifically says he is an apostle! In the World Tomorrow TV program “The Coming Kingdom” he says to the PUBLIC that he is an APOSTLE of Jesus Christ! He says this numerous times! Yet you say he would admit that he WASN'T ONE? First, perhaps you should consider that you could be wrong or mistaken. Or if you are merely parroting what has been told you by a pastor, maybe you should examine whether such statements is true. They are not. And is very dangerously close to committing the unpardonable sin!

The Kitchen's worship at the altar of HWA like James Malm worships at the altar of the law.  Neither has any idea who Jesus is or what he accomplished.
