Kudos to the memory of Orlin Grabbe. He was one very smart fellow and a good guy. His life included a family background in ranching, a slog through wcg-ac, an academic career at Harvard after exiting wcg, creation of his own currency exchange modeling software, stints in Dubai and Costa Rica plus who knows how many interests in intelligence agencies, conspiracy theories, aliens, Area 51 and beautiful women. God love ya, Orlin.

Father Guido -

I just wanted to tell you how much I have appreciated your insight and clear explanations over the years. I still treasure certain articles (relics?) I purchased from you, inlcuding:

1. "Pope On A Rope" Soap

2. The "Find the Pope in the Pizza" puzzle, and

3. My "I Saw the Pope on TV!" lapel button

Glad to hear that you are still active. Best wishes!

All of the tiny, mercurial ACOG splinters are totally ineffective in getting out the gospel of Herbert W. Armstrong, as a warning to the world. Pretty much invisible!

So, I guess youtube is about the only way to keep their messiah alive for posterity.

It must be very disheartening to all of the ACOG people to watch from the sidelines while others are actually reaching the world with the gospel of Jesus. I'd think there's a lesson in there somewhere, unless these people believe that HWA already did the job and all that remains is nourishment of the flock.

2008-05-29T14:29:00.000+12:00

It is amazing HWA would be 115 years old if alive today. Oh, that's right. Robert is keeping HWA alive on Youtube, not too unlike Mark Armstrong carting GTA out every week on WGN.

What is the allure of preserving dead cult leaders? Oh, that's right - it provides Mark Armstrong with a living and gives him something to do.

Yep and we never would have the financial problems we have in our personal lives if our money was invested. Instead Herbie got the money and pissed it away! Got to love Robert though. He is a fool and the reason we recognize this fact is that all of us were fools for Armstrong at one time. It is now Roberts time! Good luck Robert!

"I am thankful to HWA for these things..."

In other words, "If it weren't for HWA, I never would have heard The Truth" or "It was through HWA that God brought me to The Truth."

Therefore, let's give the drunken pederast his Godly due! What insanity. If God really used HWA as an instrument of evangelism, then this only confirms that Biblegod is a sick God, indeed.

The nice thing that robert has on YouTube is the Armstrong name. Most people will google this and run up on what sites? herbertwarmstrong.com or herbertwarmstrong.net or the site run by Herb himself....herbertwarmstrongvideo.net

Yes, I have these videos and more. Maybe I should start a cult????!

Purple Hymnal,

Robert...

Aren't you also overlooking these
teachings of the bible, when it comes to HWA, as to the qualifications of a minister (of which HWA fails miserably)...

1 Timothy 3
Qualifications of Overseers

1 This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop,[a] he desires a good work.

2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;

3 not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;

4 one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence

5 (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?);

6 not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.

7 Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

The basic problem here is that for the most part, ...

2008-05-29T05:55:00.000+12:00

The basic problem here is that for the most part, those who have given themselves power in the Armstrong movement did not, and are not repenting of the harmful cultic practices which have ruined so many lives. You have one leader who brags about never having committed a major sin since his babptism, presumably 50 years ago plus or minus. You have others who continue to preach lies such as British Israelism, and to preach their uninspired "best guesses" at prophecy to extort not only tithes, but also tithes which are not scripturally supported.

David and Paul sinned, and repented. Interestingly, and some might say karmically, some of the things which they did to others kept recurring in their own lives as they did God's work. David, the warrior, was frequently embattled by armies, one of which was led by his son Absalom. Paul was imprisoned and stoned, much the same way in which he had persecuted Christians.

HWA only got a small taste of what he had done to COG-7, as he witnessed only a very few splinters from his own church prior to its wholesale descent into a diaspora following his death.

HWA may have led you to some truth, Robert, but he preached misrepresentations, a contaminated gospel, and had a very negative impact on most of his followers' lives. If you stumbled upon what you now consider truth, it was a totally inintended consequence of Armstrongism.

2008-05-29T04:44:00.000+12:00

Purple Hymnal,

Abuses that happened in the past in the WCG by individual ministers or members does not invalidate the teachings of the Bible.

If I was to hold personal sins against people, I would not be willing to serve under King David (even if he did claim to repent), nor would I touch the writings of the Apostle Paul (for his part in having christians murdered).

Not to mention Moses who married a foreigner (against the laws of God but God somehow permitted it).

Nor would I hold Lot up as a righteous man as he is known to enjoy the odd drink.

Sampson, a womaniser, is hardly a good role model either but somehow he repented at the very last minute! And that is all that matters, repentance!

In fact if I am to judge the truth of God by the personal examples of others, I might as well tear up the Bible and forget all about it! Hardly anyone inside or outside of the pages of the Bible actually has an unblemished record.
