The true god of the Churches of God

The Kitchen clan has the above video on their web site.  It sounds like Herman Hoeh, running off at the mouth, as usual.  He makes the statement, which was said way before the current explosion of splinter groups, that the reason groups imitated the Worldwide Church of God and what it taught was because it "sells".  It brings in money.  Notice the focus is entirely on money.
 Not Jesus, but money.

Every single one of the 400+ splinter groups would not be in existence today unless they were still trying to sell Herbert Armstrong's teachings.  Even the apostates like Weinland, Pack and Thiel cannot stop talking about Herbert Armstrong.  From the larger personality cults to the insignificant little groups ensconced in Utah and Arizona, they all still trying to sell HWA in 2019.  Their business model is failing because they are still living in the 1960-1980s.

It is still about the money even in 2019.  It is about ensuring a steady income for the ministers and for retirement programs for the upper elite. That is why every one of the larger splinter groups started, to ensure they still got paid.  It was never about any gospel message, the Kingdom of God or even Jesus.

It was about money.

The true god of the Churches of God.

The winds of change demolish former WCG Feast Site

The winds of change just demolished a former Worldwide Church of God Feast Site... Literally.

Many Church of God Members who used to attend the Dayton Ohio Festival Site will remember the Hara Arena, recently closed due to economic hardship. The Hara Arena took a direct hit by an EF-3+ Tornado. The roof was shorn off, and entire conference centers adjacent to the main Arena were completely torn apart. 

The EF-3 tornado blasted a damage path across Trotwood towards Wagner Ford and Siebenthaler Avenue, continuing southeastwards towards the Wright Patterson Air Force Base Museum, a popular tourism location for Worldwide Church of God members. No word as of yet on damages at the Air Force Base. 

Several other buildings familiar to Church of God Dayton Feastgoers were also demolished. The Rite-Aid Pharmacy adjacent to the former Best Western has been demolished, being exposed to looters in the economically deprived city of Dayton. 

Since the Worldwide Church of God left Dayton Ohio as a convention site, Dayton has suffered extreme economic downfall and blight. As one of the most impoverished Ohio cities, recently suffering from an extensive opioid crisis, the last thing Dayton needed was a major tornado to rip through the city. Dayton residents vowed, however, to recover, stating that they "would come back".

For Worldwide Church of God members familiar with the Hara Arena, for good and for bad, the only thing likely to remain at the corner of Shiloh Springs and Basore Road are memories.

Living Church of God: Men are smart and follow the shepherd. Women not so much, because they still are easily deceived

A reader here sent in a comment about a Living Church of God deacon and elder meeting in Lake Geneva, WI during the Feast of Tabernacles in 2018.  After being treated to a "delicious dinner" the men and women present were presented with a book to further their walk with God.

 Anonymous said...

"Mr. Hall talked about the importance of widows and women’s roles in the congregations...." ???

Quote from LCN (Feast of Tabernacles 2018 round-up):

Lake Geneva, Wisconsin:

"...Deacons, elders and their wives were treated to a delicious dinner and were presented with books; men received "A Shepherd looks at Psalm 23", and women received "Lies Women Believe".

(Translation-
Men, you have a fantastic role to play, shepherding a flock, improving and growing into such an important position!
Women, you're all idiots that would believe anything - sort yourselves out!)

The men received this book:

This book was popular in the church during the 1970s when it was first published.  The pastor in Dayton, OH preached from it a lot.  With lots of farmers as members, the book resonated well in our area.  Jump to 2019 and LCG has found it to be profitable to use again.  It is kind of ironic that they use this book considering that they fail to acknowledge "the shepherd" throughout much of the year.

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Travel the shepherd’s path to the green pastures and cool, refreshing waters of Psalm 23. As a shepherd, Phillip Keller shares his insights into the life and character of sheep―and of the Good Shepherd who loves and cares for them. This beloved classic will give new meaning to the ageless Shepherd Psalm, enriching your trust in and love for the Lord who watches closely over you.

Apparently, LCG assumes that the ministry of LCG are shepherds, who watch over their flocks, loving and caring for them and guiding them on the right path.  These same ministers constantly go after the lost sheep, rescue them and bring them back to the flock...just like Rod McNair constantly does.  Many LCG members beg to differ on that point. 

Women, apparently, don't need to worry too much about the Good Shepherd guiding them along, they have other issues they need to worry about.  Just like mythical Eve of old, women today in the church are still gullible and swallow lies rather easily.  The men are incapable of that.  That is why the women were given this book:

Satan is the master deceiver; his lies are endless. And the lies Christian women believe are at the root of most of their struggles.  

"Many women live under a cloud of personal guilt and condemnation," says Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth. "Many are in bondage to their past. Others are gripped by fear of rejection and a longing for approval. Still others are emotional prisoners." 

In this bestseller, Lies Women Believe, Nancy exposes those areas of deception most commonly believed by Christian women—lies about God, sin, priorities, marriage and family, emotions, and more. She then sheds light on how we can be delivered from bondage and set free to walk in God's grace, forgiveness, and abundant life. Nancy offers the most effective weapon to counter and overcome Satan's deceptions: God's truth!

LCG women apparently easily swallow lies about the God they hear about in LCG.  Their version of God is different than their True Shepherd husbands.  Their priorities are out of whack with the godly men of the church.  It is time for the women of LCG to be set free from bondage...by worldly "so-called" and "fake" Christians, no less

Living Church of God, Gerald Weston, and their apostate step-child Bob Thiel love to mock Christians and denigrate their beliefs and understanding. Yet, LCG and others love to use books by these "so-called " Christians to educate their followers in topics that the church is sorely lacking in. The sad fact is, these "so-called" and "fake" Christians know more about the Jesus of scripture than the Living Church of God leadership does.
