PasedenaGuy10 speaks out on Spanky's blame on his own organization!
Pasedena Guy10 of WCG Alumni briefly explains:
Good Old Rodders is out blaming the brethren for the problems going on in his cult. It's the members fault that they are confused, it's there fault that members have cancer and other serious diseases. It's their fault because they are not studying Meredith's version of the scriptures.
Quote:
Many of our ministers and leading brethren have sensed a spiritual "malaise" coming over quite a number of our brethren. Since nothing shocking seems to be happening on the surface—though much is happening just underneath the surface in world affairs!—some are letting down spiritually! Fervent prayer and real Bible study are lacking. And no doubt partly because of this, some brethren are losing their spiritual focus and are beginning to feel that God is "far off," that nothing much is happening in world affairs and that it is not really important that we are all truly committed to being part of the Work which Christ is using us to do.They don't realize that we are being used in a unique manner to truly "warn" our peoples of the Great Tribulation and also to genuinely "feed" God's people with the "whole counsel of God" (Acts 20:27). Many "little groups"—here and there—have part of the Truth and are doing a "little" part of the Work. But where is Christ primarily working and where are His eyes focused today on the Church. He is using to prepare for the coming Kingdom of God? Most of you understand. But some of our people are confused and weak, and some are also discouraged that several of our brethren are becoming seriously ill with various forms of cancer, heart disease, etc.So our Headquarters team unanimously agreed that we should call a Church-wide fast for the Sabbath of August the 4th!
PasedenaGuy 10 brilliantly responds:
Maybe what he really needs to do is tell his ministers and 'leading brethren' to get off their self-serving, self-righteous lazy @sses and go out in the community and work in the soup kitchens, serve the homeless, serve in an AIDS hospice, clean up the trash in a gang infested neighborhood or any other activity that takes their minds off of themselves and puts their so called 'faith' into action to make a REAL difference in the world instead promoting their fake 'gospel' message.
I respond to PG10:
Excellent, brilliant, articulate and intelligent advice! Sadly, XCG ministers have historically have never listened to anybody whether outside or inside the organization. My prayer is that this prayer and fast this coming August 4th of this year will lead to an open door for the thousands of members of the Living Church of God that they will finally for once in their lives to viscerally and violently reject once and for all the most wicked religion known to mankind: Armstrongism. It is my prayer that an open door will be provided that many will have a "real" relationship with God, not this false brand which has always been proven to be a dead end street. For the god of Armstrong is also a wicked but impotent one. The god of Armstrongism is a dumb idol, that knows how to get mad every day but in effect cannot speak. I pray that the people in the LCG in their newfound fight against Armstrongism and Armstrong's god that in their battle they will not waver, not tire,not falter and most of all, which is of supreme paramount importance---NOT FAIL! It is my prayer that rejecting this immoral god and wicked religion that an important discovery for the key of peace and freedom will dynamically prevail! God Almighty (and I'm talking about the true one who does hear and speak) will speed that time ever so closely!

... the most wicked religion known to mankind: Armstrongism.
That's a little harsh. It appears that Radical Arab Islam tops Armstrongism by a bunch. A single Islam man said on camera that he couldn't wait to have children to strap on bombs personally to send his [future] children out to be suicide bombers. Agreed that Armstrong is way up on the evil scale, but it didn't quite reach that level.
What is wrong with Roderick Meredith? We must say, based on his blatherings that it's his fault he has diabetes, problems with his memory and vision. If he focused on Jesus and his salvation instead of being a chief false prophet for all these decades, maybe he wouldn't be going blind like some modern Elymas.
Meredith's credibility has been a disappointment for a long time and given his terrible track record, one would think that he would repent. Nevertheless, he keeps at it in his rebellion to continue his wicked and evil ways and gets people to pay to support him in his lunacy.
More disturbing is that he has Robert Thiel as an apologist busily explaining away the anomalies in the Living Church of God, which is nothing of the kind. Dying it is.
Perhaps the best thing to do is to let nature take its course as Living becomes as old and shriveled up as its leader to dry up and blow away in a gust of wind.
We should take heart: Roderick Meredith's contempt for people and God will end some day. It's just taking a long time in coming.

Concerning the call to fast on August 4th, perhaps Isaiah 58:4 applies.

I'm with Douglas on this one, "most wicked religion known to mankind" is way over the top. On the wicked-o-meter, I wouldn't even give them 5 out of 10.
