Harlequin Romance's Are Used By Satan To Lead COG Members Into BDSM



Those fun loving folk at the Philadelphia Church of God cult compound in Edmond, Oklahoma are weighing in again on sex - an ongoing favorite topic of Armstrongism.  This time Joel Hilliker is not happy with the Fifty Shades of Grey movie and books. The outward face that the personality cult tries portrays is one of extreme chastity, virginity and all things biblical.  All one has to do is join various Facebook groups and you will quickly see that the Edmond compound  is one big mess of adulterous and/or fornicating energized bunnies.

As usual with anything PCG publishes there is an immediate deluge of clap happy seals that jump on with praises and accolades for the godly information they had just read.

Redfox has this up on his blog from one of those readers:

There are also comments posted by people who seem to take this article seriously. Here is one of them.

I remember reading harlequin romances… these were just the start of wrongful thinking… being dissatisfied, thinking that this type of fantasy was what one should want.

Fifty Shades of Grey is what those type of novels lead to. Satan works on us a little at a time to twist our thinking.

Thank God that He opens our minds, shows us what wrongful thinking is, how to avoid it and that He will heal our minds if we yield to Him and put forth our best effort.

COG Splinter Cult Leader Dares to Lecture Others About "Self-Deception"



I had a great laugh last week seeing the topic of  a splinter personality cult leader's article to his few hundred members.  This guy is the epitome of self-deception. No, I'm not talking about Dave Passover Elijah Pack.  I'm referring to Bob Thiel.

Thiel writes in Self-deception Can Be Costly:


Researchers are concluding that there are costs associated with self-deception:

People who take shortcuts can trick themselves into believing they are smarter than they are, says Tom Stafford, and it comes back to bite them.

For once Thiel quotes some truth.  His self-deception has come back to bite him repeatedly.  He foolishly declared himself a prophet in the Church of God.  He believes an LCG minister elevated him up with a "double does" of the Holy Spirit.

Armstrongism has a great track record of foolish men who have lived lives of self-deception that cause them to declare themselves prophets, apostles, Elijah's, Joshua's, Two witnesses, and much, much more.

Thiel continues:

Jesus taught that Satan was a liar and the father of lies:
44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it (John 8:44)
Of course, Satan takes advantage of deception and encourages humans to
The top five deceived men in the Churches of God are: Pack, Thiel, Flurry, Weinland and Meredith.  While there are many other deceived men leading splinter personality cults, these five are the worst.  They have all created scenarios in their minds where they imagine themselves as God's personal representatives and founts of truth.  They get so puffed up in their own glories that they take on new persona's, such as Joshua, Elijah, Apostle, end-time witness, and more.  The Bible ends up being the story book of their lives.

Thiel ends, with this:

Although most Laodiceans do not believe that they are deceiving themselves, Jesus said that they were. Jesus said that Laodicean Christians needed to repent–they need to change.

In addition to doctrine and how they lead their lives, there are serious prophetic deceptions that the Laodiceans have fallen for.  A list of 30 prophetic deceptions that various Laodiceans believe is in the article The Laodicean Church Era. Believing several of these will insure that Laodiceans will not realize that the Great Tribulation is here until it is to late for most to flee (cf. Revelation 12:14-17).

Self-deception is common.  Try not to fall for it.  The word of God is truth (John 17:17), hopefully you will believe it enough so that you will resist Satanically-encouraged self-deception (cf. James 4:7).

Thiel gives a perfect description of his mindset.  He does not believe he has deceived himself. His prophetic deceptions have been epic failures and will continue to be. Theil fell for self-deception in a big way.  He is just as bad as Dave Passover Elijah Pack and Elijah Joshua Flurry, but without the members or money.

Manor Del Mar For Sale: Will God's "Apostle" or Passover "Elijah" Buy It?




Manor Del Mar on the Pasadena campus is for sale again.  This time it has been fully restored to its former glory.  For many decades it was the men's dorm on the Pasadena campus.  Since it was the farthest away from the library and Mayfair it always housed men. The college chopped and remodeled it into a dorm eliminating the kitchen and adding huge bathrooms. Those that slept on the third floor called it "The Cattle Car."

Manor Del Mar was built by the son of Hulett C Merritt, the owner of the house the church bought and renamed Ambassador Hall.



Given how Gerald Flurry and Davie Passover Pack have no brain cells of originality in coming up with new ideas, will we see one of these two buffons buy it and ship it to Edmund, OK or Wadsworth, OH?  Both are just daft enough to do it!
