What a glorious day to be alive in 2019! It is a beautiful crisp fall day here in Pasadena with cold temperatures and snow on the mountains. After sacrificing newborns on the altar of Moloch at church today and worshipping the sun and Satan, I thought I would sit down and have some fun.
I woke up to a flurry of text messages and emails about a post that my dear friend in Arroyo Grande, the great Bwana to Africa and the Chief Overseer of the improperly named '"continuing Church of "god"' posted about the lies that this blog and others spread about his doubly-blessed and god ordained appointment to the Church of God in these end times. God saw that the church was in such a mess after the implosion of that other one true church, the Worldwide Church of God, that He needed to send a special doubly-anointed leader to redeem the church back to Him.
Over the eight-plus decades, the Radio/Worldwide Church of God was in existence, it has seen an appalling number of men break off from the church to start their own "new and improved" church that was holding on to the "faith once delivered" and the amazing teachings of Herbert W Armstrong. The number of splinters has been said to be between 400 - 700 different groups. What an appalling thing to see!
None of us had any idea what would happen after the WCG imploded and the various larger splinter groups set themselves up as the true heirs to the WCG experience. Every single one of these groups has proclaimed that God personally anointed them and set them apart to rescue the church and restore the teachings of the one true apostle Herbert Armstrong. How can this one true God they all claim to follow be sooooooooo confused and keep forgetting He had previously set up another man to lead His church?
Thanks to this confused god, we now have men like Dave Pack, Ron Weinland, Gerald Flurry, Rod Meredith/Gerald Weston, David Hulme, Vic Kubik, Jim Franks and the one and only doubly blessed Bob Thiel.
Only one of these men surpass all the other false prophets/leaders of the splinter groups and that is Bwana Bob Theil. The Chief Overseer of the improperly named "continuing" Church of 'god." The second Elijah, Elisha, Joshua, and endless other self-appropriated names of scriptural legends.
God has apparently never worked with a human being before as much as He has in setting up Bob Thiel as the one true prophet to the nation of Africa, the Catholic Church and the deceived Laodiceans of the British Israel nations still parked in various COG's. From double blessings to visions in dreams, God has been working overtime in proving the legitimacy of the one true Bob.
As the one true prophet to the church and the world, the great Bwana is NOT happy that we mock his vainglorious attempts to prove himself as the legitimate end time representative of his god.
The Greatest COG leader since Dave Pack has devoted another column to me and this little blog. How dare we mock his prophethood status!
Mock not God's anointed!
Fun times!
I can hear the hissing all the way down here.
"Am too!" "Am too!"
Bwana Bob writes:
Gary Leonard, the webmaster at the Banned By HWA site (an anti-Church of God website), continues to post lies about me. He is a false accuser of the brethren that does not take Proverbs 6:16-19 seriously.
How can I be a false accuser of the brethren when these self-appointed liars have set themselves up as deceivers of the brethren? There are a lot of good sincere COG members out there that love God and seek to do what is right, according to what they have been taught, so to see these sick men claim to be god's anointed and then turn around and abuse them is disgusting and appalling.
Bawana Bob continues:
First, I am NOT self-appointed. The Bible states that God appoints prophets (1 Corinthians 12:28) and that He speaks with them through dreams (Numbers 12:6). Furthermore, it was the late evangelist Roderick C. Meredith who repeatedly stated (beginning on October 3, 2008) that God may consider me a prophet–years before I left LCG (which happened on December 28, 2012). He also said (Jan/Feb 2009) that if he raised himself to the office of apostle that he was considering ordaining me as a prophet. Although he did neither of those, God ended up having LCG minister Gaylyn Bonjour lay hands upon me and pray that I would receive a double-portion of God’s spirit on December 15, 2011.
I can state for an absolute FACT that God did NOT speak to Bwana Bob Thiel through any dream and most certainly did not use another false teacher (Rod Meredith) to legitimize Bwana Bob. Deluded minds with psychotic wild imaginations will lead all kinds of people into thinking some being they call god is speaking to them.
Second, I did not pull out scriptures only after the formation of the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) to point to my position/dream, etc. Gary Leonard’s assertion in relationship to me is a flat out lie. I cited various scriptures and fulfilled predictions to the leadership of the Living Church of God when I was still part of it and had no intention to depart from it (I only departed after Dr. Meredith essentially informed me on 12/28/12 he would not keep his promises to correct doctrinal and prophetic errors he had previously agreed to).
Church of God false teachers have always gone searching for scriptures to legitimize themselves AFTER THE FACT. The scriptures that Bwana Bob quotes no more describes him than it does my prophetess cat laying in front of the fireplace right now. It makes no difference whatsoever that Bwana Bob went to Rod Meredith spouting scriptures. Not one single thing was fulfilled in Living Church of God, in Rod Meredith or in Bob's testimony. NOT ONE SINGLE THING! Living Church of God was yet another splinter set up by a self-appointed man who thought he was better than anyone else and that his god also set him apart in his rebellion. The lies and damage Rod Meredith did while in the WCG has left a trail of destruction in his wake over the decades. Broken marriages, suicides, and even murder! There is NOTHING godly in that and therefore CANNOT transfer off any godliness onto Bwana Bob Thiel!
Third, the Bible does teach that God would use dreams and prophets in the last days as Acts 2:17-18 states. Furthermore, it was not just me and one other (that I did not know prior to the dream) that had confirmed dreams related to me and/or CCOG. At least seven associated with CCOG have had confirmed dreams (for details, see Dreams, the Bible, the Radio Church of God, and the ContinuingChurch of God). For more related to Acts 2, check out: Does the CCOG have the confirmed signs of Acts 2:17-18?
Given the ABYSMAL track record of lying false prophets in Armstrongism over the last 8 decades, why would God even dare to send another COG fool a dream setting them apart to lead the church?
I can again state for a FACT that God did NOT send dreams to Bwana Bob Thiel or anyone else associated with his personality cult. We have seen these same wild boastings from others over the decades and there is absolutely NO REASON anyone ever gave them credibility. These simpletons have made God into their pawn, to be used at their whim and command. That god is portrayed as an incompetent doofus that could not do what he needed to do without the help of these self-appointed vainglorious, narcissistic men.
Frequently, Gary Leonard has called me a liar, certified liar, or something else to attempt to challenge my credibility.
And I still do. The vast majority of the Church of God members and ex-members know this to be a fact. There is absolutely NO CREDIBILITY in the self-appointed of Bwana Bob to his position as a splinter group leader. None whatsoever!
But the problem is that he cannot stand the idea that God has intervened in my case and what I speak is the truth.
The “lie” he seems to claim I make is that I received a double-portion of God’s Spirit after Gaylyn Bonjour anointed me.
As it turns out, I spent several hours with Gaylyn Bonjour on November 28, 2019. He, again, confirmed many events related to me, including his prayer for me to be granted a double-portion of God’s Spirit.
We also went over some of the falsehoods that Banned posted about me in the post I am mentioning here.
Furthermore, Gaylyn stated that he tells those who ask that he says:
I have known Bob Thiel since 1986. He has always been honest, dedicated, and sincere.
And that includes what I have written about him and the prophet matter.
I have no doubt that Bwana Bob may be a dedicated and sincere person. As Herbert Armstrong said many many times, "They may be sincere, but sincerely WRONG!" Using Gaylon Bonjour as a prop to one's prophethood is no proof at all. Given the disgusting process Living Church of God went through to reach its present state by apostatizing from the mother church and then stabbing Global Church of God in the back while stealing money and members in order to start up, does not make LCG a legitimate Church of God or its minister's legitimate representatives of God. If Herbert Armstrong were alive he would have kicked them out of the church so fast that their heads would still be spinning.
Bwana Bob goes on with more grandiose excuses as to why he is anointed, and then says this:
Gary Leonard does not want to accept that I have the fruits of a prophet and meet the biblical and COG criteria for that
One thing both Rod Meredith and I agree upon is that Bwana Bob is NOT a prophet of God and that he set himself up in that position. Despite all of his own narcissism, Meredith was able to see through the fog and call out the deceptions and lies of Bwana Bob.
People like Gary Leonard say all kinds of evil against me falsely–this is one way they persecute.
Scores of people, besides my self, see through the lies of Bwana Bob. They and the vast majority of the Church of God know Bwana Bob to be a false prophet and a false church leader.
Sadly, Gary Leonard and many other opponents do not care about the truth and think that they are getting away with their lies and falsehoods.
For some reason Bwana Bob, as do many other false prophets of the Church of God, feel that their opponents will come to naught for daring to expose their lies. That has been a myth that COG leaders have loved to dish out any anyone who dared to oppose them. They have claimed people would die, that their god would strike their oppressors down with painful cancers, and other myths that have never happened to people in the 80 some years of the existence of the church. And who can forget the snarling they all do, claiming that those who "persecute" them will suffer great pain in the tribulation and ultimately be fried to a crisp in the COG version of hell, the Lake of Fire.
I do not fear the god of Bwana Bob, or of Dave Pack, or Gerald Flurry, Ron Weinland of the other morons that have threatened me over the years.
As regular readers at the COGwriter.com website are aware, I provide scriptures and many facts and reasons to back up my writings. Gary Leonard and others should ask themselves if they can accept the truth or if they prefer dismissive conceit.
Gary Leonard is an accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10), and often a bearer of false witness (Exodus 20:16).
Gary Leonard has had a chances to come clean, confess his errors, and move forward.
But so far, he has chosen Satan’s way. Jesus spoke about people like him:
I have no one to confess to other than Jesus Christ and my standing with him is secure. That is what those that bastardize the law cannot understand. That is why I do not fear Bwana Bob's fear monger god or the god of Neville Stevens that was supposed to have killed me on Passover night 15 years ago. Whether I die today, tonight or in 5-10-20 years from now, my standing with God is still secure. No whiny self-appointed lying COG leader can ever take that away.
Sadly, various ones have let the anti-COG people “take their crown”–did not “endure to the end” as they should have. They allowed people once considered to be brothers to betray them spiritually–and yes it will also happen physically
What a load of self-righteous crap. No COG member's crown has ever been stolen by someone who has exposed them to the errors and lies of certain COG leaders. It is these very people who are destroying lives and ripping their spirituality lives apart. I am quite sure many of the people in Africa that claim to follow Bwana Bob are sincere and certainly have great faith in the God they want to follow. The sad part is that many of them are heading down a path of legalism that ultimately leads to misery.
The captives that these sick leaders in Armstrongism have enslaved with legalism and led into bondage need to be freed with the filth of these sick men.
