Apostle Malm: Most Church of God's Are Unclean



More wit and wisdom from the apostle:

2:13 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
Most of the Church of God groups are unclean to God and will be rejected by Christ, Rev 3:  because they have compromised and mixed God’s Word with the teachings of the pagans and the traditions of men.
2:14 Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation [polluted and unclean] before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.

Because all the Churches of God have whored themselves out to paganism and rampant sabbath breaking their chances of ever being able to do the following shrink day by day:

Brethren, if we do not bow to the reproofs of Holy Scripture, we are NOT God’s servants; and will not have a part in the restoration of Jerusalem, the Temple, all Israel, true religion worldwide, and a vast expansion and conversion of the first fruits throughout the millennium, competing the seventh day of the first fruits harvest.

Damn pagans!  How dare you get a Big Mac on a Saturday on that drive home from church!  Dirty, filthy, unclean pagans!

Ferdig: Angelic Wit, Wisdom and Humor WIll Amaze You

The mind of an Armstrongite is a terrible thing to waste and not make fun of:



 My Angel Friends (SIB102)

In this delightful and informative booklet, the author shares his
relationship with his angel friends. It is both fun and eye opening.
Angelic wit, wisdom and humor will amaze even the casual reader,
leaving no doubt about the reality, activities and loving energetic
exchanges with and within the spirit realm.





Metatron Suggests Rethinking 'KARMA' (SIB103)

Is there a 'Karmic Law' at work in the universe that affects us from
one life to the next? Here is a fresh look at the concept of 'Karma'
energies and some profound insights that will clarify common
misconceptions. The magnificent Angel Metatron gives us some
amazing and loving advice. Approximately 30 pages).

Arthur Ferdig's Bottled Angel Tears




"Angel Tears" is an All-Natural
Bio-Trace Mineral Tincture in
Colloidal Form.
Available in 1-ounce bottles (30ML) at
$19.95 per bottle (includes handling and
shipping within the U.S.).

If you thought Armstrongism couldn't get any stupider, behold Arthur Ferdig.  Prior to his conviction for running a 100 million dollar ponzi scheme, he was selling bottled water that had dripped through volcanic rock.  Ferdig named that product Angel Tears because in his conversations with "angel" Metatron and a myriad of other "angels" they told him what to name the water  because of the medicinal values of the water.  Apparently these angels sit around in volcanic clay mud packs to replenish their bodies vitality.

The name was given by Angels as an expression of their compassion for today's low-vibrational condition of man and earth. They continually esteem the clay's vitality and encourage its use.  

At around $250.00 a year for this it must be pretty profitable!  I imagine this is also along the same line of naturopathic "drugs" that Prophet Thiel sells in his practice.  Maybe Thiel can sell this for Ferdig while he is in prison.


In another link on his site Ferdig proclaims this:


In short, if you are a truth-seeker, this site was prepared with you in mind. Further, you are visiting this site because you were meant to do so. That is an amazing truth in itself!

Yes, you are reviewing it for a reason. Spirit energy makes no mistakes. Your mouse or web-browser didn't somehow "drop" you here by accident. Nothing happens by accident. You are here because your energies, coupled with other unseen spirit energy, brought you and this website together. Energy is working dynamically in your life, even though you may be totally unaware of this reality.

Really?

Gerald Flurry: "Herbert W. Armstrong’s Gift to the Olympic Games"




Gerald Flurry and his splinter cult, the Philadelphia Church of God, have been running a series of articles using HWA's world travels as supposedly significant earth shattering events.  HWA's meetings decades ago are being trotted out as if God himself was speaking directly to these world leaders.  With numerous speeches talking about “a strong hand from someplace” what exactly does Flurry think HWA accomplished?  Did the leaders convert?  Did hundreds of thousands of citizens convert?  HWA claimed that through his speaking with the leaders he was presenting the gospel message to the leader and it was his/her responsibility to give it to the people.  That was a great way of wringing you hands from the mess of nothing ever happening.  “It’s the leaders fault no one converted to the Truth, not HWA’s.”  I don’t know how many times I heard that asinine comment from evangelists and ministers.

Gerald Flurry and his minions continues to pimp out HWA day in and day out.  His latest pimping episode is the most appalling.  Flurry claims HWA has a message for the Olympians gathered in London.

Right now the world has its mind focused on the Olympic Games,” wrote the internationally recognized unofficial ambassador for world peace to worldwide readers in the Plain Truth, July-August 1984. 

The same is true today for the 2012 Games. All eyes are focused on the host city of London. Perhaps Trumpet readers are unaware or have forgotten about former Ambassador College faculty member and renowned athletic coach Harry Sneider. As recently as last year, Mr. Sneider acknowledged Mr. Armstrong’s direct contribution to Olympic success, writing, “Back in 1967 I came to Ambassador College to study a way of life that had a major impact on my life, my marriage, my home and family as well as my work. 

“My mentor was Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong. He told me that I had a gift of working with top-notch performers in sports. In 1984 I was nominated head coach for the United States Olympic Team in Track and Field. 

“Mr. Armstrong wrote a wonderful booklet called The Seven Laws of Success. I used these laws in my coaching and training. They are very simple. They can be found in the Scriptures ….” 

Coach Sneider went on to encourage readers to study those seven laws of success.


Besides pimping HWA, Flurry is also pimping out Harry Sneider who was a former employee in the PE Department in Pasadena.  Sneider is known around the world for his training techniques that he used for Dwight Stones, 1984's track and field team and an Olympic swimmer.  Sneider is still active locally with sports training.

One reader here comments about Sneider: 

 “Fine, so Harry felt there was validity to the 7 Laws. That's fine, they're common sense. But he made the contacts with athletes, not HWA. He also had fabulous facilities at his disposal, and free reign to use them. Being in Southern California put him in touch with connected people, and the ideal weather made training in SoCal a perfect situation. Nobody really begrudged Harry his projects, but he pretty much did his own thing for years.”
After discussing Sneider, the Flurry cult jumps the high bar with this:

Yet how many athletes, spectators or viewers around the world ask the question: What does God think of these Games? You need to take the time to request The Seven Laws of Success and find out that simple formula that Harry Sneider spoke of. 

In the same Plain Truth article, Mr. Armstrong continued, “The law of God is the way of righteousness. Sin is the transgression of the law. The law of God is given us in the broadest principle and also magnified into the Ten Commandments, and even into many further specific points that are magnifications of the principles of the Ten Commandments. God expects us to apply these principles of His law to specific actions. 

“The basic law is love, outflowing toward God above all else, and secondarily, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”
 
Does Flurry and his minions actually think any Olympian is going to be asking such a question let alone writing in for a book that is so out of date that it is laughable?  I guess what Flurry and his minions are trying to say here is that when Olympians compete they are NOT loving their neighbor.  If they truly loved their neighbor they would let the other person cross the line first.

Then the craziness continues:

Twenty eight years later, Stones will serve as a commentator for nbc during this year’s London 2012 Olympic Games, and one wonders whether he recalls those seven-laws-of-success-based training sessions at Ambassador College and the indelible principles of God’s law of love expounded by the book’s author and college’s founder.

Um, what “indelible principles of God’s law and love did HWA expound?  Broken marriages?  Suicides? Untimely deaths of members because doctors were prohibited? Rampant alcoholism in the Church?  Wife swapping by ministers and employees?  I am assuming this is what Flurry and crew are really talking about.

Then the Flurry camp continues:

Trumpet founder Gerald Flurry, supported by co-workers and members of the Philadelphia Church of God, went so far as to fight a six-year court battle to preserve these seven laws, keep them in print and promote them worldwide through television and distribution over the Internet. 

Flurry fails to report that he LOST the court case and had to pay the Worldwide Church of God for the rights to all the materials that he had previously plagiarized.  Flurry wasted millions of dollars in legal fees on top of the 3 million he was forced to pay the WCG for publication rights.

In addition, he founded Herbert W. Armstrong College in Edmond, Oklahoma, featuring liberal arts education and including a balanced sports program founded on the scriptural principles of the seven laws of success as established by its namesake. 
 Add to this his continuance in the example and legacy of Mr. Armstrong by ensuring you could receive that foundational knowledge freely, as a gift without request for money, obligation or follow-up. 

I would add to this the continual worship and pimping of Herbert Armstrong by Flurry  makes him come out looking like a complete fool.  All Flurry is accomplishing is letting the world know that he has absolutely no creative ideas in the alcohol damaged brain of his.  Flurry and his minions cannot come up with anything without pimping HWA into the mix.  There is no originality anywhere  in the organization.  Flurry dresses like HWA, poses for photo’s like HWA, builds similar buildings like HWA did, uses the same names for buildings, schools and literature as HWA did.  Buys personal items of HWA and places them in prominent places for idolatrous worship. Then, to cap it all off, he names his pretend unacredited college after HWA and starts a concert series and “foundation” named after HWA.  The list could go on and on.

During these Olympic Games, request your free copy of The Seven Laws of Success to understand the keys to the eternal joy of lasting physical, spiritual, emotional and mental success. When sincerely applied, those laws truly do work to produce real and lasting success in your life!

Any Olympian or other person that would dare to order the Seven Laws of Success would be subjecting their selves to a life of eternal unhappiness and fear, broken relationships and spiritual bankruptcy.  Emotional and mental scars would prevent any Olympian from ever competing again. 

YOU can read the crazines here: Herbert W. Armstrong’s Gift to the Olympic Games

Thought it all Flurry and his crew want us to believe that Herbert Armstrong contributed significantly to the Olympics.  When pigs fly.
