Did The Ony True Remnant Get Raptured At The Feast Or Are They Currently Suffering A Satanic Attack?

 

Dagnabbit! Wouldn't you know it? Satan is really, really angry that the one true remnant headed off to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles to prepare the way of the Lord. Satan is so angry that he has caused the only true website that carries the only true words of the ONLY True Apostle in the Church of God (Herbert W Armstrong) to disappear off the internet. It's the famine of the word,  boys and girls! The famine of the word!

Right before the Feast the Kitchen family, the last remaining three true Church of God members on earth, directed their followers to head on over to Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles there.

IF YOU LOVE THE TRUTH YOU ARE MY PEOPLE! If you have the attitude of pleasing God above all else, and you love GOD then visit wwcg-archives.com and involve yourself. BELIEVE THE TRUTH AS YOU COME TO SEE IT. Don't disregard it or throw it away. FIND VALUE IN IT. 

 

THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD is now gathering in Jerusalem to keep the FEASTS of God! Come join us. Stand counted with the Church who backed and supported Christ and His apostle, and has endured much persecution for THEIR LOVE OF THE TRUTH. You are not alone. 

 

WELCOME BRETHREN! ASSEMBLE IN JERUSALEM. LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT THERE IS A PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEIR GOD AND HIS TRUTH! 

 

In the service of Jesus Christ,
Samuel W Kitchen

Just like Bob Thiel, the Kitchens have been unable to gather any COG members into their fledgling church. No one cares. No one is impressed by the web site - which currently si nonexistent. Either they did not pay the hosting bill before they headed over to Jerusalem or we are in the actual famine of the word thanks to fall boy Satan, the big bad meanie of everything that goes wrong in the Churches of God.

I have spent much time on the flaws of other groups; and how they differ from what Mr. Armstrong taught, and whether they are false and misleading. 

 

RIGHT NOW, I want to focus on the truths THEY DO TEACH. 

 

Do you know that those men in your church group or organization received them from Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong? The source of those truths came from God's Word, and when Mr. Armstrong saw them and BELIEVED, he taught those truths to the ministry who were trained at Ambassador College and they turned around and taught them to the congregations of the Church. 

 

EMBRACE ALL TRUTH BRETHREN! Some truths of God have found their way into protestant churches, and even into the Catholic Church, and even into other religions. Do we deny the truths of God when we see them? NO. 

 

Jesus Christ IS TRUTH. And the head of this Church is Jesus Christ. Truth is the body of Christ, and if we are members of that spiritual body, we must EMBRACE ALL TRUTH. 

 

You hold onto what truth you have brethren. Some may have little truth and much error. Some may have much truth and little error. Each is growing spiritually as they live everyday being led by God's Holy Spirit. Once you find error, or are shown error, you have a responsibility to throw that error away and grasp hold of the good. The truth is good. SO HOLD ONTO THAT BRETHREN! 

 

What I am here to say is that more truth is available to you if you listen to Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong. He is the apostle of Jesus Christ according to the work He did. We have instructions in the Bible concerning how we should approach and involve the apostle in our relationship with God and Christ. 

 

I believe that instruction is very important as we strive to live by every word of God. 

 

So is that instruction from God's Word important to you brethren? I know you may disagree on things, or maybe don't quite understand some things. But once we find truth and are shown truth, we have the responsibility to act on it and make it apart of us, if we be the Body of Christ. 

 

You are not a member of the United Church of God, or Restored Church of God, or Philadelphia Church of God, or Continuing Church of God, or Living Church of God, or Church of God international, or Church of God, a Worldwide Association, or on and on. These are separate groups, separated by their works. 

 

They are not the Worldwide Church of God which is with the apostle in full support. 

 

The work of the Worldwide Church of God has been preserved online. We have been involved with the Work of God. Jesus Christ said the Work of God is to BELIEVE the one sent. Jesus was sent by the Father, and the apostles were sent by Jesus Christ. Our Worldwide Church of God membership is engaged in the work of God by BELIEVING the one sent by Christ! We saw and read the truth of God and WE EMBRACED IT and MADE IT APART OF OURSELVES! 

 

And so we support the man who preaches the truth! 

 

We do it autonomously. We do it of our own free will. 

 

The Word of God is important to us, and the instructions and doctrines of Christ are very much wanted and desired by our membership.

Gerald Flurry Claims He Is Now The "Father" To Jerusalem and Israel

 

"The Bible does not tell of some man acting as a throne warmer and tithe collector, 

sitting in the place of Jesus till He returns."

The silliness coming out of the Church of God movement worsens by the day. Herbert Armstrong could never have envisioned the craziness that his own esoteric beliefs would create decades down the line. HWA's special understandings have been left by the wayside as new and improved prophets of god have self-appointed themselves and declared new visions and understanding. Each and every one of them has been proven to be liars.

Is GF a Father to the Inhabitants of Judah, or a Father of Lies?
November 7, 2022 

 

The K.O.D. program on September 30, 2022 titled “Queen Elizabeth II Made a Fatal Mistake” centered around the subject of the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Could GF be the one making a fatal mistake in overstepping royal boundaries and by suggesting he sits higher up in royal authority than the Queen of England? 

 

GF in his secret sermons has implied that he is to be as a “father” to Jerusalem and the house of Judah. How is it that he is able to make himself out to be a “father to the inhabitants of Judah” just by setting foot in Israel in the footprints of HWA, and then by means of taking the members’ extorted money and pressured donations to his Jerusalem Fund, and giving that money over to the cause of “biblical” archaeology? Does he think to purchase Jerusalem archaeology for himself and also gain an imaginary status of “fatherhood?” from it? 

 

Many times, GF has in his sermons quoted the verse Isaiah 22:21 while subtlety applying it towards himself, in identifying himself as a “father to the inhabitants of Judah…” Does he truly believe that only he, GF, will be the one to tell them, saying, “unto the cities of Judah,” as he has quoted countless times now, in referring to the commission he supposes to have, “Behold your God!” quoting Isaiah 40:9? (Is this to command the Jewish people to behold God, or to behold a man who acts like a god?) 

 

How dare GF imply that the people of Israel and Jerusalem are so ignorant of their own history that the Jewish people need a con-artist and megalomaniac such as him to deliver “the truth” about Jerusalem and Israel to them, acting as if he, GF, and not the Jewish people, practically owns Jerusalem already? That “church” in its lofty imagination does practically pretend to own Jerusalem archaeology like some poster child of their own. 

 

Does being able to distort the Bible verses which contain “the key of David” (in Isaiah 22 and Revelation 3) and by placing them into his own context in order to support his personal biblical fantasy somehow make him a father to the Jews of Israel, or even as a new “king” of Judah? Does GF in his own mind, now believe he is the de facto “king of Judah” as well as of England? 

 

It is the Lamb of God, the real Lamb of God, not an imaginary “christ come in the flesh” figurehead, who now sits on the throne on the right hand of our Father in heaven? The Bible does not tell of some man acting as a throne warmer and tithe collector, sitting in the place of Jesus till He returns.
How can some money grubbing man lay claim to being as a “father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah” who has done nothing at all to assist the oppressed, including the Jewish refugees fleeing from Ukraine? 

 

Who is more “worldly” in withholding their money from helping anyone, including disaster victims, and even their own poor, than the PCG? And yet somehow GF would convince people that Jews and the people of Jerusalem will look up to him as their “father” and worship at his feet? Who could be more delusional? –[name withheld] Exit and Support Network

Another Defection From Restored Church of God: RCG Exit Letter: Richard Nogan

 

RCG Exit Letter: Richard Nogan

 

Dear Mr. [Minister],

 

I write this with a heavy heart. Though I do enjoy a good debate, this subject matter goes much deeper than that. My intent is not to ridicule anyone. I am not shy about being frank. After all, David C. Pack emphasized several times, “God is very frank, brethren." So here we go.

 

My wife, Lolita, and I were in The Worldwide Church of God under Herbert W. Armstrong. I was baptized on February 2, 1980, and my wife in July 1982. She stayed in WCG until 1995, while I left in 1996. This was due to the "Apostasy" that had taken place after Mr. Armstrong’s death. That is another subject but does have its relation to this letter. After that, we did not go to any "splinter/sliver" group.

 

After about 16 years, I felt this tug on my heart (pardon the vernacular) for wanting God in my life again. During this period, our lives were turned upside-down. The former life we totally engaged in was pulled right out from under us. We did not know where to go or what to do. We were lost children and knew nothing about the splinter/sliver groups.

 

After 19 years, we found The Restored Church of God under David C. Pack in 2014. This led me to study intensely to re-prove what we once believed and had lost. It all seemed right again, even though it differed significantly from WCG. I give this little background not to talk about us but to explain the damage that “Church hurt” can afflict in one's life after putting all your trust in an organization that claims they are the “only ones with God’s truth.” A place that is “the ONLY one true Church of God” with Jesus Christ as the Head. He is only working with that church. It amazes me the limits that are placed on God.

 

So here lies the problem. The figurehead of The Restored Church of God, David C. Pack, has been claiming titles and believing he has many mentions in the Bible. He also tries to convince others this is true. A lot of bad things can happen once you go down that road, including mind manipulation.

 

The "prophecy" series stories are full of failed predictions. Many have put up with this for approximately 7 years. To me, that was not so bad even though we did some weird things trying to be obedient, like staying up for 24 hours in our best clothing for the return of Jesus Christ. Weird, all right. We chalked it up as experience and David Pack’s misunderstanding because God has not revealed everything to him yet.

 

Okay, so we jump more to the present. We were constantly told not to build new barns but to give all. (Common. Another story where scripture has been manipulated so many did give a lot. You know the story.) Then came the fear tactics of threatening our salvation. Oh yeah, that is a major play. Along came fear and Satan moved right in. “Brethren, if you do not believe what I'm saying, you need to check your conversion!!! If you leave, you have left God's Church and are no longer part of the body of Christ with your salvation at stake!!!”

 

On and on it goes. Meanwhile, David C. Pack built a big luxurious barn for horses and recently bought half a million-dollar house. These things are known, but I repeat them for context.

 

Now comes the condemnations, with many being thrown into the lake of fire and thrusting God's enemies through with a sword. Granted, the Bible does have much to say about that, but it is not any man's judgment call to make but because many in RCG worship DCP they can't wait to condemn and start thrusting. The judging and condemning have crept into the mind and spirit of RCG. Let me be clear, I am not saying everyone in RCG, but that spirit, without a doubt, has been planted.

 

Example: A few of us went out for a meal, and an individual brought up that he saw a man in black walking a dog and that he was of a wicked spirit. This person went on and on, judging and condemning a person they did not even know. When I brought this to their attention, that Christ died for that person walking the dog, and that God will give them a chance, too, I was just told to “go back to Egypt” repeatedly. The strange thing is, that accuser was close to me and my wife. In fairness, they did apologize the next day, and all was forgiven. But looking back now, it is interesting how that type of mentality is so subtle as it takes over any rational behavior.

 

This finger-pointing, judging and condemning continued to grow in RCG. We understand that we can all do that in one way or another or say things we ought not, but when it continues to grow as a message from the ministry, something is seriously wrong.

 

We would hear in sermons how evil everyone else is and how lukewarm and unconverted the splinters are, and that if you have trauma in your life, "GET OVER IT!" Stop your whining, you crybabies. Have a self-pity party. Another minister said, “We (ministers) are the only ones equipped to deal with what you are going through.” 

 

Let me inject here that at the Feast of Tabernacles a couple of years ago, we were told from the lectern that those with tattoos should have them scrubbed off with a wire brush. When I asked someone with a tattoo what they thought of that statement, they replied, “Maybe that’s what we deserve.” A contagious, condemning, oppressive spirit was at work.

 

I have talked to a sizable number of brethren about different groups and peoples, and most had the same reaction about a subject, "Mr. Pack said…” or “The minister said…” There was no original thought or question to be had. No wonder that condemning, oppressive spirit grows in RCG.

 

Now, I come to the statement from the very Apostle under Jesus Christ, who had died for all people and races. It went something like this, “The Chinese people are wicked, evil people." Then he ranted and raved about their dragon symbols. I can see if the rant was about the CCP as a corrupt, evil government because that really cannot be argued. But to say such things about a people, who are any of us to judge? Well, DCP seems perfectly fine with doing that.

 

Maybe RCG heads should do some research regarding what people suffer under severe persecution because they take on the name of a Christian, believe in The Father and His son, keep the commandments as best they understand, they hide when trying to worship together. They have to hide pages of the Bible or the Bible itself if one is that fortunate. Christians are targeted by the CCP police. Hunted down and, if caught, taken to a prison where the individual is interrogated for hours, beaten, and put in a dungeon-type cell for as long as it is decided. They are starved and sometimes die due to cruel punishments. Not to mention what other nations do to Christians, such as burn their villages, murder men and children, rape women, and behead their loved ones right in front of them because the Christians will not recant.

 

Strangely enough, some also are Sabbath-keepers. My point? Who are any of us to judge while limiting God to who He acknowledges, who He will have mercy on or not?

 

Let’s ask the question: Being that God is the only One who can draw a person and reveal the truth to and with that, the person totally surrenders all, and I do mean ALL, and they go through this severity then God's response is, “Sorry you didn’t belong to RCG, the only place I am working. Thanks for what you went through, but…"

 

Perhaps as an apostle, "one sent forth," and one who is an evangelist, "euaggelistēs, the one who proclaims the glad tidings,” should leave the empire of dirt, the Wadsworth compound, which both say they rarely go out of—and do the work of God in China. I believe they still know what work that is. Or go to other countries such as Iran, Afghanistan, and Laos, to name a few, and see how that works out for them. Point again? The finger-pointing, judging, and condemning are NOT our place and not of God! Especially at this time.  

 

I have often heard how corrupt and evil or lax the splinter groups are and how they beat their fellow servants and make merchandise out of the brethren. Oh boy, remember Romans 2:1-3? With that in mind, it is not my intent to do any of this to anyone in RCG or anywhere else, but it is my intent for this to be a reality check for all of us.

 

I ask for forgiveness, first, from our Father through Jesus Christ and ask it also of those in the body, whoever they are and wherever they may be. If we all humble ourselves and work together as one body, then so much more will be accomplished. But at this time, I do not think that will happen. There are too many political and power struggles, even in the Church of God.

 

This One Church is a manipulator of the scriptures. This is why my wife left, and I was suspended, because I do not believe this, either. I was asked to read the book, “The True Church: One Organization, Or Many?” Of course, it is biased, but I read it. This letter could become several pages of questions and refuting, but I have no interest in doing that now.

 

So, my wife and I are now lepers, unclean, and are not to be contacted? Amazing how the very ones that were our brothers and sisters in Christ turned against us so quickly. Not even a text by the hypocrites who talk behind Mr. Pack and the minister’s back. Yes, true unity in action.

 

Mr. [Minister], please accept this as my resignation as a member of The Restored Church of God.

 

Be safe,

 

Richard Nogan

 

P.S. I went into my RCG login, and the song "For the Love of Money" by the O' Jays started to play. LOL!!! My wife and I laughed, not knowing how and why it played.
