I am going to ignite a spiritual revival across the entire Spiritual Ekklesia and prepare a people for the advent of God’s two servants and the coming of the Bridegroom!

After suffering a public humiliation of mockery about his new YouTube channel, God's most important end time Chief Pharisee and bastardizer of the law, James Malm has decided that he will now move his kick off broadcast to next year.

The Chief Pharisee is quite adamant that he has no intention of being compared to our other resident foolish YouTuber, Bob Thiel of the improperly named "continuing" Church of God with his crooked bookcases, 1980's curtains, and door knobs.  Even Chief Pharisees see the bumbling mistakes of lesser church leaders. Though, we most likely will see the Chief Pharisees sitting at his kitchen table in his apartment pontificating away.

Pharisee Malm claims he is not going to impress anyone, but yet will IGNITE A PROFOUND REVIVAL OF PASSIONATE ZEAL.  There we go again, there is that word "zeal" that the Pharisee likes to throw out as a dagger to humiliate anyone who doesn't agree with him.  Don't agree, you have no zeal.  You are a Laodicean piece of trash.

Also, the Chief Pharisee says he is not going to waste an hour and a half preaching about innumerable topics or just taking too damn long to get a point across. He will get his point across in 10 minutes.

Ultimately though, the Chief Pharisee is going to start a worldwide explosion in the Church of God as he sets about preparing members to stand behind the two witnesses.

When pigs fly will be the day this ever happens!

Please note that I am not a polished speaker and I cannot come close to the nearly one million dollar studios, sets and recording equipment staffed by expert technicians; operated by the major COG entities.  They produce polished programs designed to impress people with a business model non offensive content sadly lacking in sound doctrine.  

I have absolutely no interest in producing such programs; my programs will NOT be designed to impress anyone, they will be designed to COMMUNICATE the truth and sound doctrine of the Word of God as plainly and understandably as possible.  

They will not be sermons designed to impress with polished oratory and rhetoric; they will be plain speaking designed to clearly and unambiguously COMMUNICATE the way of salvation and the sound doctrine of every Word of God, and to ignite a profound revival of passionate zeal to learn and live by every Word of God!  

These will be different from what many are used to, there will be no taking of an hour to say what could be easily explained in ten minutes.  Listeners who have not been grounded in sound doctrine over the years will have to stay awake and pay attention and they will have the Bible Studies site to go to for further study.  

The coming programs and the Bible Study site are intended to compliment one another, not to be copies of each other.  

The plan is to have the Bible Studies fully updated and to begin programs with a few talks on current events and prophecy as world events unfold and trends in the corporate COG’s become clearer.  I will not set any dates but I am working to prepare the brethren for the potential set up of the abomination and the start of the tribulation in late 2020.  

I will not hide my purpose:  My intention is to do all I can with the help of God, to ignite a spiritual revival across the entire Spiritual Ekklesia and prepare a people for the advent of God’s two servants and the coming of the Bridegroom!  

Do not despise small beginnings TheShiningLight will begin to make an impact;  as world events unfold interest will increase and as trends in the corporate COG groups become clearer, this work will champion a profound spiritual revival through both print and programs. 

I Didn't Say it, The Members Heard Me Wrong.

How many times have we heard various COG leaders and members deliberately LIE that Herbert Armstrong never set dates?

HWA: 5 - 20% MORE Money For Ministers - Members - Tighten up and sacrifice.

Pastor General Report 03/06/81

clipping by SHT

The 1980's was a time of extreme excess in the church.  Money was being spent on extravagant concerts, receptions with cases and cases of Dom Perignon and Rothschild wines, travelling international exhibits, courting royalty from Queen Sirikit to Mrs. Sadat, helping restore the Globe Theatre in London, putting money down on Hollywood films (The Wild Geese), helping restore the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia, helping fund the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, and much much more.  Include in this Herbert Armstrong buying more silver, gold and fine art.  

Add to this mess certain evangelists who remodelled their campus homes at church members expense, in some cases multiple times just because one evangelist's wife could not make up her mind. While all of this was going on, members were told to tighten their belts and send in more money so the work could accomplish its end time goals.  

Its fraudulent Plain Truth Newsstand program dropped millions of dollars over the decades claiming it was the largest circulated religious magazine in the world.  Hundreds of thousands of PT's were dumped in the trash every month by church members, PT distributors and Pasadena personnel, yet they all went towards that total that was spoon fed to the members as gospel truth.  

Why would anyone in Pasadena lie to the members?

Ron Weinland says to continue to save second tithe even though Jesus returns Pentecost 2019

Last year Ronnie Weinland, so far the only convicted Church of God felon, made the proclamation that  his creature "jesus" was returning on Pentecost 2019.  After the feast, felon Ronnie must have realized what a false prophet he is and is now telling his dwindling flock that they must save second tithe to prepare for the Feast next year.

“You’ve got to plan ahead in your life. Not like some did for 2012 where people were ready to quit jobs and everything else. Well, we learned a lesson from that. If there are some reasons, whatever they might be, and we don’t know what they are, and something can go beyond that, so be it. God knows what He’s doing and He’ll let us know at some point what we need to see.

So, anyway, you keep doing it. Some questions have come up, can it be used for different things like coming into Phoenix or to Cincinnati. No, it’s not a holy day. Now, there has been a time, one time in the past where some were being allowed to do that because of the focus we had, because of what was believed as strongly as it was at that point. But not now. You keep it for the holy days, holy days only.

“Some have asked about excess they’ve had after the Feast. You can save it for the next year. If you know you’re going to do something different, maybe go somewhere else if we go on, and you want to go to another place that’s going to take more money or maybe your finances have been cut back for whatever reason and you’re on the edge as it was for going to the Feast this past year, and yet you still had a little bit left, you can save that aside for next year. Now, if you’re doing exceedingly well and you know you have far more than what you need then yes, sometimes, you know, a person turns that in, excess second tithe, which is used in the following year, can be used to help others attend a Feast or for whatever purpose deemed necessary by God’s Church.

Ronnie also laid down a new law to the gathered faithful.  They were to no longer treat the Feast as a time for giving lots of presents.  The Feast has been a regular Christmas giving season.

“I do want to make a comment that it’s not a time of passing gifts around, of thinking you’ve got to give gifts to different ones or everybody in an area. This isn’t Christmas. People shouldn’t feel obligated to have to give a gift to one another. You know, if you want to give a gift to some, to a few or whatever, that’s fine, you know, something that is special that you know would help them or be encouraging to them, that’s fine. But sometimes we get in certain places, certain areas where people have this feeling that they’ve got to do it year after year. No, you don’t. Again, it’s not making up for Christmas. It’s not feeling like you’ve got to pass out gifts to everybody, or whatever, or people get expecting of gifts or whatever. So please don’t do that.

You are allowed to buy a few prices of clothing though to upgrade your current rags, but not a new wardrobe like Ronnie and Laura do.

Some have asked about clothing. Can you use second tithe for clothing? Well, it’s fine to, if you want to upgrade something, like for the Feast of Tabernacles, but not your whole wardrobe, not for something for the entire year, you know. Buying this or that, a pair of shoes, whatever, in the past I’d have said a suit, but I’m not worried about that any more, a special tie... well, we’re not doing that necessarily. If you want to upgrade something, fine, if you have ability to do that. But again, you don’t go on a great big shopping spree just because it’s that time of year and it’s not even going to hardly be used at the Feast. It’s about the Feast of Tabernacles. So that’s what you’ve got to keep in mind.

Church of God-Preparing for the Kingdom of God members need to stop saving that money for some dumb Feast with Ronnie and Laura and use that money for themselves.  Take a vacation, buy new clothes, pay off some credit cards, and enjoy life as it was meant to be. Stop supporting the certified liar Ronnie and his sick family. These two are no more the two witnesses than Bob Thiel is a minister of God. Peoples lives are too important to God than to be subject to all of these bottom feeders of Armstrongism.

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.”
