When it comes to Armstrongism, if you see it obsessing on a certain topic it is almost a sure bet that its leadership or members are having issues with that subject. That is how the ball has bounced in Armstrongism for decades. The louder they shout, the more they are involved in it.
Abraham Blondeau has an article up on The Trumpet site about the OnlyFans porn site, Our OnlyFans Culture

K
ylie’s $13 hourly wage wasn’t making ends meet. Looking for extra money, she eventually signed up for a role in a pornographic film, earning $1,000 in a day. But her family, friends, employer and small-town acquaintances found out about it. With her reputation ruined, how did Kylie move forward with her life?
She moved away and became a pornographic model full time. Now she operates an OnlyFans account and makes $19,000 per month selling pictures and videos of herself. “I’m proud that I changed my life,” she told the Toronto Sun. “Everyone my age has thought of doing OnlyFans; I was just brave enough.” She still avoids going back to her hometown, saying, “While they are close-minded, judging and miserable, I’m getting rich and having fun.”
Sadly, a woman selling sex for money is nothing new. Thanks to the digital age, though, these activities are no longer limited to dark alleyways. Prostitution and pornography are available to every home and device with Internet. Digital prostitution is one of the most profitable businesses in the world. The OnlyFans website is at the leading edge of on-demand digital prostitution.
This exposes one of the greatest scourges of the modern age: the widespread supply and demand for illicit sex. Our Judeo-Christian culture is being replaced by an OnlyFans culture. During this titanic cultural shift, there is one question no one wants to ask: What does the God of the Bible think about it?
I can almost guarantee that those Herbert Armstrong College students who secretly have smartphones have now been titillated into checking out the OnlyFans site.
Blondeau continues:
OnlyFans is an online subscription-based service started in 2016. Users gain access to content by buying a subscription or paying tips. The creators get 80 percent of the money, and 20 percent goes to OnlyFans. Primarily used by pornographers and models, it exploded in popularity during the pandemic. Currently it has 3 million creators and over 220 million subscribers. Seventy percent of the content is pornographic in nature, including nearly all of the top earners. Since 2016, OnlyFans has paid creators over $10 billion.
Its ubiquity is shocking. It was the 25th-most visited website in 2023. The site gets 3.8 billion visits per year, which amount to 320 million monthly visits. Most of this traffic is funneled from social media sites like X, Facebook, Reddit, TikTok and Youtube. Many “creators” preview their content on social media to try to lure users to pay for the full version.
Every day, 500,000 new users sign up. The average age is between 35 and 44. “OnlyFans followers are predominantly male, owning 69 percent of the platform’s user base,” wrote TechJury. “The women occupy the remaining 31 percent. These men are usually white, married and identify as heterosexuals, bisexual or pansexuals. In stark contrast, the opposite is true for the creators: 70 percent of content creators identify as females. This is due to their greater success rate, earning an average of 78 percent more than their male counterparts.”
This has to really infuriate the PCG and Gerald Flurry to see all this money flowing into a website that they cannot get their hands on. It makes more in one day moneywise than Flurry rakes in in a year. Imagine how many more planes they could buy with that money or more money they could put into idiotic Irish dance stage shows about Old Testament prophets or useless topics like coronation chairs. The lost opportunities are endless!
So what is the solution to this fascination with OnlyFans? These people need to read Herbert's crazy book on sex! Herb had no idea his Missing Dimension in Sex book could solve such problems in 2024 if people would only read it! If they don't, that ‘Unseen Strong Hand From Someplace’ will spank their bottoms!
“Since it is a basic truism that a solid family structure is the foundational bulwark of any stable and permanent society, this fact means only one thing—civilization as we know it is on the way down—and out—unless that great ‘Unseen Strong Hand From Someplace’ soon intervenes and saves today’s sick society.” The late Herbert W. Armstrong wrote those words in The Missing Dimension in Sex in 1981, a textbook that explains God’s laws on sex, marriage and family.
At the same time as Blondeau's article came out, those fun boys at the cult compound reposted one of Gerald Flurry's articles from 2019, A Bigger Pastime Than Sports where he flogs indignantly about the easy access to porn on computers and cell phones. I have to say, those guys in Oklahoma sure must be busy checking out those sites if having the Grand Poobah weigh in on the topic so much. But, this is Armstrongism after all and SEX is as important as Satan is. Both get discussed more than Jesus ever has been.
Flurry writes:
Every second, over 28,000 Internet users are looking at pornography. The Worldwide Web is swimming in it.
Thirty-five years ago, the porn industry in the United States brought in $75 million in revenue. That in itself is shameful. But thanks to the Internet, it has since exploded! It is impossible to get a completely accurate estimate, but the numbers range from $10 billion to $97 billion! As much as we love our sports, we don’t love them as much as we love pornography! Major League Baseball makes only $10.3 billion. The National Football League generates $8.2 billion in income. The National Basketball Association generates $7.4 billion. Pornography is probably at least double the nba—perhaps many times greater—and without any of the prime-time advertising, big-time merchandising or the massive arenas.
It must frost Flurry's butt to see all that money flowing into porn when he deserves it all.
A little down the article he says this:
America spews this filth out into the world. The United States is part of the descendants of Israel. Who are some of the other descendants? Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Jewish nation—all leaders in sins like pornography! Our nations are the only ones that have a history with God. They are supposed to set an example of God’s way of life. Instead, they are doing the opposite.
The spiritual filth that Flurry spews into the world is far more damaging than the porn will ever be. The spiritual health of seeking Christians and of his members has been destroyed by lies and false doctrines. Broken families, marriages, suicides, sexual assaults, and more hide under the dirty clothing of the Philadelphia Church of God.
Do you realize what is really inspiring all this family-destroying smut? The Bible tells us: It is Satan the devil. He is very active, and he is glutting us with these horrible influences. We have turned to the devil’s way, and we are about to see where that leads us. We are being entrapped in sins that wreck our families and fill them with hatred and lies and cheating—the opposite of the character of God. The Bible prophesies that Satan’s violent anger will culminate in the horrific Great Tribulation
The PCG long ago went over to the dark side with its aberrant doctrines and teachings. The satan they decry has had full reign in the PCG for decades. Until they clean their own abhorrent house of filth they have no right to be lecturing the world on the things they think is wrong.
