"The letters were delivered on one day, the Day of the Lord; and all of the churches and all of the angels and all of the lampstands were there at one time (Rev. 1:4, 9, 19)."

That courier must have had one hell of a fast donkey!!

How can we be in the Laodecean era when all churches coexisted on the mail route at the time the letters were sent? If we lived then, we could have ridden our camels between each one! The letters were delivered one one day, the Day of the Lord; and all of the churches and all of the angels and all of the lampstands were there at one time (Rev. 1:4, 9, 19).

Doesn't anyone ever read all of the words on the page in the context in which it's presented? Or are we still swallowing hook, line and sinker what HWA told us it said and spouting it back?

Interesting.

Larry means that the WCG will emerge like a butterfly?

Let's just make silk shirts out of the cocoon, and shoot the WCG-Mothra when it escapes and tries to fly away.

Here is a picture, but you have to imagine Mothra being very tiny, and only tiny-GI-Joe sized BB-guns shooting at it.

Dill Weed reports Ron as saying,
"How long can you wait for the
Second Trumpet?"

Oops,Ron,we have a problem here.

Dear Gerry Flurry has copyrighted the First Trumpet and will have a say when it is sounded though some might argue Gerry is already sounding it.The lewder fellows of a baser sort might argue,also,that Gerry has the Strumpet( or should that be crumpet).This is all so confusing.

Gerry may have all the other trumpets copyrighted too,so Ron is out on his ear before he even starts.

To be succinct,Ron ain't got a show.

Cheers,

Jorgheinz

What appears to be a merger is the Laodeceans coming together to establish the Laodecean Church. We are in the Laodecean era but the church has not come together as a unit yet, there're laodeceans in all the groups. When the Philadelphians are taken away then the laodeceans will come into play.

"The UCG is itself already at least half dead. They are just taking a longer route back into the world to ease the transition for those who thought JWT did it too swiftly in the WCG. They pretend to have the laws of God while not actually obeying them in their lives. The same ministerial bums who helped JWT to destroy the WCG are now leading the UCG down a similar path."

Anonymous 3:37, what kind of drugs are you on?!

Their sermon archive clearly proves that you are absolutely delusional, if you think United is in any way, shape or form, "liberal". Here's a taste test, if you don't know where to start.

But really, if you pick ANY sermon at random from the list, you're going to get a full-strength, no-holds-barred dosage of absolutely pure-grade Armstrongism, undiluted by any "liberal" tendencies whatsoever.

Also, if you read the GCE minutes closely enough, you'll see they still kow-tow and ass-kiss to Kilough, who appears to still have things firmly in hand. (He's not "in charge", but Kilough offers opinions that are passed as resolutions, and deferred to as the end of any discussion. Yeah THAT'S not "god's government on earth" AT ALL........)

Also compare this, and this. Without knowing who the authors are, and their respective "church eras", can you tell which one is from the "get the church back on TRACK" era??

Also, for those defending United on the other post, and saying they're not misappropriating funds, I refer you to news of their post-GCE "retreat", which they attended here.

If Anonymous 3:37 wishes to continue to persist in their delusion that United is any way NOT "god's true church", I refer you to World News and Prophecy. A brief skim of the sidebar offers up tractates on tithing, the end-times, and British-Israelism, with a little bit of that old-time religion thrown in, for good measure.

Also a pro-life article. Abortion was never discussed much when I was in, but that was the late '70s to mid-90s. It was something that was Just Not Done. Although I do recall, dimly, being instructed from the pulpit that abortion was a "fulfillment" of the prophecy of the babies being ripped from their mothers' wombs, so yeah, there's that I guess.

In conclusion, Anon 3:37, I see absolutely no difference whatsoever, between the United Church of God, and the church I grew up in. I feel sorry for you, that you can't see it either.

It seems most likely that the much anticipated soon-coming death of RCM will be another opportunity for various LCG wolves to arise speaking even more perverse things to try to draw away followers and money after themselves. I doubt that many people expect anything other than more disasters to strike. A possible exception might be some UCG types eagerly hoping to feast on the remains of the LCG after its head is dead.

The UCG is itself already at least half dead. They are just taking a longer route back into the world to ease the transition for those who thought JWT did it too swiftly in the WCG. They pretend to have the laws of God while not actually obeying them in their lives. The same ministerial bums who helped JWT to destroy the WCG are now leading the UCG down a similar path.

Are the scattered churches about to be sheparded into COG-PKG under the Two Witnesses?

" ..rag tag remnants of CGI .." excuse me we "rag taggers" may not be more than the United / Living gang but many of us will never "buy into" much from the WW 80`s rulers.
Never under estimate the rag taggers from CGI. We may have to like it and lump it in these groups but we NEVER will forget the 70`s and 80`s.
