W.C.G. - A Case Study
(
Worldwide
1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him
and
walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth:
2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness
with unrighteousness?
and what communion hath light with
darkness?
I need to make it very clear that I neither hate nor despise the members
of the
Worldwide
by many more. It is not an
exaggeration to say several hundreds.
My purpose is to state what is going on in this organization. My hope is
that
my efforts will assist some , so that they might be released from the
control,
manipulation and captivity, which is their present plight.
It is for this reason that we are presenting the facts.
We have said that the W.C.G. is freemason oriented, and now Jesuit
controlled.
We stated that the church will eventually go down the road of becoming
Roman Catholic.
The task of producing this document has been made very much easier
by the recent Worldwide Church of God publication.
Times of Praise and Worship",
An Introduction to Christian Celebrations
The
booklet is constructed to give the appearance of scholarship and accuracy.
It
is a total mirage.
The
more you check it out, the more you will see this statement to be very
accurate.
The
first point we have to consider is the name of the publication.
It
claims to be ‘Times of Praise and Worship’.
It
is no such thing.
It
contains neither Praise nor Worship.
It
uses the very interesting word ‘Celebrations’, as part of its subtitle.
This
is a buzz word in the Christian community.
Even
when you go to a funeral, you are told that we are not at a sad occasion,
we
are at the celebration of the life of the deceased.
This
is a blatant lie.
I
have had to bury my sister, my brother, my mother, and my son.
My
father died when I was around 4 years old.
I
can tell you that there was absolutely no celebration at these funerals.
they
were times of great loss, hurt and pain.
I
celebrated nothing.
But
where has this word celebration suddenly come from?
I
will list 6 questions which will prove that the statements which I am making
are correct.
They
will be mentioned as required throughout the document and then a list of them
will
be given at the conclusion.
These
points were made by an ex-Jesuit priest Alberto Rivera. He said that if your
answer
to
any, or all of these questions is yes, then your church has been successfully
taken over
by
the Jesuits, and of course the Roman Catholic Church.
Point 3 From Alberto Rivera
Does
your church engage in celebration style church services that are more
contemporary
with
the times and have more upbeat music? This was part of the papacy’s plan
at
Vatican II, in taking over all the churches.
I
was heavily involved in music in the W.C.G. I had very clear Rhema that I must
not forget
the
old traditional music. I was careful to obey this command.
Having
commented on the cover, we can now look at the contents of the recent
Worldwide

there by me to show changes
in
teaching, and errors, which cannot be scripturally supported.

The other items on the Contents page

There are 18 items
mentioned above.
In over 30 years in that organisation,
17 of those items, which are in red with
a strike through line, were vigorously
refuted. Members literally sacrificed their lives,
their families, their jobs, and their
income proving by their living that these 17 items
were not of the Eternal God.
These are a staggering number of
foundational changes for any organisation
to make. It
does also mean that the organisation which once was, no longer exists,
whether the name is changed or not is
immaterial.
A name change by itself declares the
death of the original organisation.
Regardless of the membership figures
claimed, It is a stark reality that the congregations
are not even a shadow of their former
selves.

The Nicene
Creed, is mentioned
several times throughout the booklet and
in the appendix.
This is what the Catholic
Encyclopedia says about it:
“As approved in amplified form at the
Council of Constantinople (381)
it is the profession of the Christian
Faith common to the Catholic Church,
to all the Eastern churches separated
from
denominations.
Though the origin of this
creed is claimed to be unknown, from its very name

faith named after the
First Council of Nicaea (AD

This was part of the Roman

The Apostles
Creed is also mentioned
in the booklet.
You might mistakenly believe that the
Apostles created this creed.
“The Symbolum apostolorum was
developed between the second and ninth
centuries. It is the most
popular creed used in worship by Western Christians.
Its central doctrines are those of the
trinity and God the Creator.
Legend has it that the
Apostles wrote this creed on the tenth day after
Christ’s ascension into
heaven. That is not the case, though the name stuck
However, each of the
doctrines found in the creed can be traced
to statements current in
the apostolic period. The earliest written version
of the creed is perhaps the Interrogatory Creed of Hippolytus (ca
A.D. 215)
The current form is first found in the
writings of Caesarius of Aries (d
542)”
The creed was
apparently used as a summary of Christian doctrine for
baptismal
candidates in the churches of
asThe Roman Symbol.
See the Catholic
Encyclopedia, though it seems probable that it was not
in Gaul, but in
(see Burn in the “Journal of Theol.
Studies”, July 1902)
This great
Creed is a statement of belief that each of us should pronounce
daily in our
prayers. It reminds both God and ourselves that we have accepted
and engraved in
our hearts the faith that was preached by the apostles.
--Father Robert F. McNamara
I am using Roman Catholic
sources to establish the truth of what I am saying.
W.C.G. is down the road to becoming a
full-blown Roman Catholic Church.
They can say what they like, the facts
can be researched and verified
by anyone who has the desire to check
what I am saying.

In over 30 years, I never heard the creeds mentioned once, in any
meeting,
or service. I have never seen it promoted in any Bible Correspondence
Course,
of which there were several, or mentioned in any material published or
broadcast
by this organization. However, it is all over this little booklet, which
really
is a statement of beliefs, and it would be a much more accurate and
honest title.
All Saints
1 November, instituted to honor all the saints, known and unknown.
It owes its origin in the Western church to the dedication of the
Pantheon
in honor of the Blessed Virgin and all the martyrs by pope Boniface IV, 609
the anniversary of which was celebrated at
(731-741) consecrated a chapel in the
designating 1 November as their feast; Gregory
IV extended its observance
to the whole Church.
It has a vigil and octave and is a holy day of obligation.
The eve is popularly celebrated as Hallowe’en.
http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints.ncd00345.htm
Do
you see that 3 Popes and the Virgin Mary are mentioned?
are
we really saying that the church is not going Roman Catholic?
How
long before Marian worship, that is Mary worship is introduced?
As
the Roman calendar is in common usage today, and the day is considered night
and
day, the evening of All Saints can be regarded as part of the same day.
The
festival of All Saints, also sometimes known as “All Hallows,” or “Hallowmas”
(“hallow
meaning “holy”, and “mass” meaning “Mass”), is a feast celebrated in their
honour.
All
Saints is also a Christian formula invoking all the faithful saints and
martyrs,
known
or unknown. The roman Catholic holiday (Festum Omnium sanctorum)
falls
on November 1,…. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Saints
I
can also tell you witches consider Halloween to be one of the most powerful
nights
in
the witches calendar.
Point 4 from Alberto Rivera.
Is
your church forgetting their historic teachings and becoming more modern,
casting
away the old truths as relics of the past?
In
the Preface, Dr Joseph Tkatch says that Jews observe days that remind them
of
the Exodus, when God rescued them from slavery in
brought
them to
The
Passover was the only Festival which marked the deliverance of the nation
off
The very first festival, the Sabbath day, was instituted immediately
after
Adam and Eve had been created.
We can distort and massage the scriptures as suits us, but lies will
never
prevail. The Eternal God did not rest because He was tired and needed to
rest.
The Sabbath was made to be a blessing to man whom He had created.
Man was not made to sweat and toil and live in fear and confusion as we
do today.
This is all the result of rebellion and disobedience.
There was not a Jew in sight when the Sabbath was made.
Additionally, it is a statement of fact that Christ and His apostles,
kept the Sabbath and the Holy days.
We have many documents on the website which explain this in great
detail.
I suggest that you use the search facility to locate and view these
messages.
It is a fact that in the future these days will be kept again.
Isaiah
66: 22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I
will make,
shall remain
before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
23
And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another,
and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship
before me,
saith
the LORD.
The Sabbath by
definition has never been and can never be Sunday,
which is the
first day of the week. You do not need a doctorate in order
to know that
the Sabbath is the seventh day. Ask any Jew.
It is clear
from the following verses, that this is a future event which has
has not yet
happened.
It is nonsense
to say that the Israelites and Jews kept
the
commandments, then Christ and His apostles kept them and then
somehow after
Christ died, they were 'done away with', but they will
be re-instated
in the future.
I am really
thankful for the stability, and unchangeableness of the Eternal God.
I have no idea
what I would do if He was unreliable and operated by whim.
Zechariah 14:16 ¶ And it shall come to pass, that every
one that is left of all
the nations
which came against
o worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the
feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:17 And it shall be, that whoso
will not come up of all the families of the earth
unto
Zechariah 14:18 And if the family of
there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will
smite the heathen that come not up
to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:19 This shall be the punishment of
that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of
the horses,
HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD’S
house shall be like
the bowls before the altar.
Zechariah 14:21 Yea, every pot in
unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice
shall come and take of them,
and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no
more the Canaanite in the house
of the LORD of hosts.
Verse
19 specifically states to disobey will result in drought and plague.
We can always
tear these verses from Isaiah and Zechariah out of the bible if we wish,
but you know
what? It would not matter in the slightest, as what the Eternal God
has declared
will happen, will happen period. Eugene Peterson wrote something called
The Message
Bible. He should really be complimented for the choice of name,
because it truly is The
Mess of the Age.
I have learnt
that it is a diabolical paraphrase of the Word of God. Lo and behold
it is quoted
on page page 23 of the booklet under the Pentecost section.

As soon as you
see the word Saint, St, think Roman Catholic.
The booklet
also makes the point that Catholic means universal.
This is true but
nonetheless many of the doctrines and people quoted are Roman Catholic.
So amply and
magnificently did Augustine develop his theory on the Church that, according
to Specht
"he deserves to be named the Doctor of the Church
as well
as the Doctor Of Grace", and Möhler (Dogmatik, 351)

Although his
is not the only one to follow this pattern,
I will use him
to illustrate the point.
The booklet
made the point how smart it was to absorb the Satanic celebration
of the winter
solstice and make it Christian.
Well here we
see a pagan priest, sorry, not my words
I am quoting
from the Catholic Encyclopedia, being absorbed into
the
Pray tell
exactly where is the WCG going?
Didymus the blind
did not make it to Sainthood but he is mentioned in
the
Catholic encyclopedia.
He certainly
is not the only one who is blind.
Here is a
comment from the Catholic encylopedia:
"In his
commentaries Didymus shows himself to be much influenced by Origen."
Now you might
not know much about Origen, but I can tell you that, that
short
statement says a tremendous amount and it is negative in the extreme.
I will not
confuse the issue with a technical analysis of Origen.
Make up your mind from this single statement.
"The Laws of men appear more excellent
and reasonable than the laws of God".
You will find that in the New Age book The Hidden
Wisdom in the Holy Bible.
Would you use his comments on the bible?
Tertullian
did not make it to a saint, but he certainly followed
the patter of
pagan to priest. He was a very important person.
Quintus
Septimus Florens Tertullianus was born in
but became a
Christian at some point before AD 197. Tertullian is the church father
who more than
any other has been taken to epitomise the anti-intellectualism
of the early
Church.
Then the church
fathers are mentioned.
The name alone
declares who they are.
It is the
hallmark of the Roman Catholic church to call their priests, Father.
This practice
is forbidden in the bible.
Matthew
23:9 And call no man
your father upon the earth: for one is your Father,
which is in
heaven.
We further
blaspheme by calling men, Holy Father, and we call ministers Reverend.
These terms
should be reserved for the Eternal God, and Him alone.
Ministers,
tell your members clearly where you are leading them.
Do not write
intellectual sounding confusion.
Don't hide the
facts so that your membership do not realise
who these
people really are.
Let us mention some names of the popes mentioned.
Pope Boniface IV
Pope Gregory III
Pope Gregory IV
Emperor Constantine
Last but by no
means least is Emperor Constantine whose law was, Follow my church
- the
Roman Catholic Church, or lose everything you have, including your life.
He killed many
genuine believers, confiscated their possessions and replaced the Sabbath
of the Eternal
with Sunday worship under pain of death.
A truly nasty
piece of work.
I wonder, was
he a Nephilim?
We have
mentioned Pagan Popes, Evil Emperors, Roman Catholic Councils,
Roman Catholic
Saints, Latin titles, fortunately translated,
the language
of the Roman Catholic Church,
and several
Catholic festivals,
I do not think
that it is stretching the point to call the booklet, a Catholic document.
It is clearly
demon-strated. I hate this word and never use it, but I think that
it is very apt
in this case.
All these
Council meetings mentioned are Roman Catholic council meetings.
We are clearly
told that the Eternal God does not change. Can't He make up His mind
on what He wants us to do?
Malachi
3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not;
therefore ye
sons of Jacob are not consumed.
All these
points which we are mentioning, actually nullify the proposal
that they
are pointing people to Christ, as the Roman Catholic church certainly
does
not know or teach the real Christ. It is certainly one of Satan's major
headquarters.
Continuing
with the Feasts.
From the very
first paragraph an attempt is made to denigrate the Festivals of the Eternal.
This theme
continues throughout the booklet.
They are
referred to as Festivals or days of the Israelites, the Old Feasts.
There is a
chart of Israelite and Christian Festivals.
It is claimed
that the Holy days of Leviticus 23 were given to
saving events
of the Exodus, when God brought them out of slavery in
with an
outstretched arm.
Really?
In the Old
Testament the Festivals are called,
the
Feasts of the Lord, and are also referred to by the Eternal as My feasts.
Leviticus
23:2 Speak unto the
children of
of the LORD,
which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are
my feasts.
Leviticus
23:4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy
convocations,
which ye shall
proclaim in their seasons.
Leviticus
23:37 These are
the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim
to be holy
convocations,
to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering,
and a meat
offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
Leviticus
23:44 And Moses
declared unto the children of
2
Chronicles 2:4 Behold, I
build an house to the name of the LORD my God,
to dedicate it
to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual
shewbread, and
for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths,
and on the new
moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God.
This is an
ordinance for ever to
Ezra
3:5 And afterward offered the
continual burnt offering, both of the new moons,
and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated,
and of every
one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the LORD.
Therefore in
the Old Testament, the Feasts are stated to be the Feasts of the Eternal
God.
When the
Israelites are being chastised the feasts
are called
your feasts.
In the New
Testament the Feasts are referred to in the gospel of John as the feast
of the Jews.
It is as if
the Eternal was distancing himself from the Festivals which were created
to be a
blessing to His people.
John 5:1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to
John 6:4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
John 7:2 Now the Jews‘
feast of tabernacles was at hand.
What we read about 'their feasts', cannot
be declared to be positive.
Jeremiah 51:38 They shall
roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions’ whelps.
39 In
their heat I will make their feasts, and
I will make them drunken,
that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep,
and not wake, saith the LORD.
What we read about 'your feasts', cannot be
declared to be positive.
Jude 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you,
feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are
without water, carried about
of winds; trees whose fruit withereth,
without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
The situation when we read about 'your
appointed feasts', is worse.
The Eternal says He hates them.
This is not a small matter.
Isaiah 1:14 Your new moons and your
appointed feasts my soul hateth:
they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
In the last book of the Old Testament in the King
James Bible we see
that the feasts have descended to the lowest depths.
They are called 'the dung of
your solemn feasts'.
This is a world away from Feasts of the Lord our God
and My feasts.
I would say
that is absolutely tragic.
Malachi
2:3 Behold, I will corrupt your
seed, and spread dung upon your faces,
even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one
shall take you away with it.
In Part 1 Rhema on Strong Delusion, we also can see the
very same principle spoken.
The church was
spoken of as 'your church'.
The Eternal God had completely disassociated Himself
from it.
Without any fear of contradiction whatsoever, I
can say that the Eternal God will
never ever associate Himself, with the
self-appointed feasts which are highlighted
in red strike through letters above.
Neither will He ever tell us to associate with,
absorb, and practise the Satanic customs
which are being promoted in the 'Times of Praise and
Worship Booklet.'
A statement is made warning us to be very careful not
to use the word 'pagan',
for all sorts of reasons.
I am not using the word which might have a doubtful
origin and meaning.
I am using the very clear and easy to
understand word, Satanic.
The reason is very simple.
You either serve Satan or the Lord God.
You either choose life or death.
All the items mentioned except Pentecost, and even
that might have a hidden agenda,
are blatantly lies and wrong. It is as
simple as that.
Here are classic examples of strong delusion.
Delusion no 1
The
Outside of this group your salvation is not only in
doubt but impossible.
Whatever 'changes', might take place, this brain
washing has already been fully
established.
Therefore the damage is already done.
After all no sane person wants to lose their
salvation.
Therefore like a fish caught on a line with a barbed
hook, you will fight and struggle,
even try to run for it, but the line has been well
prepared there is a strong wire connecting
the hook so that you cannot break through the
synthetic line. Swivels had been put on
the line so that if you run off at high speed, jump
and twist hoping to dislodge the hook,
the line twists with you.
The only escape is deliverance by Jesus Christ.
Salvation is through no group whatsoever.
It is through Christ and it is our personal
relationship with Him that is important.
The booklet speaks about pointing people to Christ,
when it obviously does not.
Delusion no 2
There is a big furor about changing the name of the
church.
It appears that this is being resisted strongly in
of the world.
Great emphasis is made of the critical importance of
having the right name.
In fact the Worldwide Church of God changed its names
many years ago.
The United Church of God, with 450 ministers and
19,000 members,
moved seamlessly from W.C.G.
without a murmur. If you want to
continue following Mr. Armstrong, you could always
go to this organisation. If you like choice you
can go to the Philadelphia Church
of God. Their
fails to
mention Herbert Armstrong and his writings.
Am I recommending them?
Hardly.
Join them and continue to be in the strong delusion
which we are addressing.
So while these poor people are worrying about a name
change it has already taken
place. We should never fear to confront truth which
will bring us freedom.

comprehensive list of lies
and deceptions which have been palmed off as facts: WCG Index
Delusion
no 3
Massaged membership numbers.
Current membership worldwide is claimed to be 67,000.
The booklet avoids giving
not an oversight.
According to one research organisation these figures
are a figment
of the imagination, and grossly overstated.
If the membership figures are wrong
then there inevitably has to be income
distortions.
Delusion
no 4
The origin of
various doctrines. I accept that various groups can have teachings
of truth. That
is fine and there is no problem. However, when it is claimed that this
is the direct
inspiration of God, then I have a problem. Check out
'Doctrines'
which claim to
have come from God, but were in fact taken from Seventh Day Adventists,
Jehovah
Witnesses, etc.
Delusion
no 5
Those that
disagree and are vocal against 'the changes', are unaware that the
objective
is to upset
them so that they leave and join one of the conglomerate groups,
which of
course they believe is not related.
They are
unaware that they are being carefully coralled without their knowledge,
into another
section of the
of the
prevailing delusions.
Be courageous
and check out what I am saying without simply discarding it to the dustbin.
Forget your
emotions. Consider for a moment what are you going to do,
if what I am
saying is true and you rejected it without diligently checking it out?
I will tell
you what will happen, you will end up weeping and gnashing your teeth.
Some members
tell me that they do not read the church publications,
which they
call 'that rubbish'. Some simply throw it away.
Neither act
disassociates them from the organisation to which they belong.
Furthermore,
it is their hard-earned money which they are throwing away.
It is a gross
delusion to say that they have given the money to God and what is done with
it is God's business. The reality is that you
have a mind, and you really should use it.
When you admit
that you do not agree with what is taught, preached and written, then,
if you support
such an organization,
it makes you
an accomplice in destroying the lives of others.
We completely
underestimate Satan and how devious he is. We must really accept
that the
things which happen are carefully schemed and planned just like
President
Roosevelt said, they are not chance. However those involved do not
even
know the
game which is being played, much less the rules.
Truly a very
strong delusion.
I do not need to waste time to discuss each individual
item as the information
already exists in WCG books and booklets.
What I will say is that you can call a pile of mess a
chocolate cake.
You can go further, and convince every one who is
gullible, that what you are saying
is correct. Those convinced might even set about
convincing others that the dung
is chocolate. The reality is that the moment anyone
who has been deceived
into believing this, takes a single bite, there will
be a very rude awakening.
They will find out that dung is dung, no matter how it
is packaged
and labeled. All will be revealed.
Over and over we are warned not to adopt the ways of
the heathen.
Jeremiah
10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn
not the way of the heathen,
and be not
dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
The Eternal God says that is an abomination which is
totally unacceptable to Him,
but we are so pompous and arrogant that we feel that
we can do exactly that.
I would not be surprised in the slightest to see
praying for the dead, and Mary worship
rear its head.
I should not
really be too harsh, because sophisticated brain washing
is used to get
the results which the leaders require.
This false
idea that anything at all which is used to point people to Christ
is acceptable
is gaining popularity. Some say and have written that it is OK to use
witchcraft
manuals to point people to Christ.
John Halford,
one of the highest ranking WCG ministers,
stated
that there was nothing wrong with Harry Potter.
Is that so?
Some say that
these books can be used to lead people to Christ.
We
are being told that Satanic handbooks are ok.
I would really
like to know what is not ok.
I know the
answer really, this document for a start.
The truth is
that people who were witches of exceedingly high rank, have warned
of the very
real dangers. It is much worse than playing with fire.
These
authorities did not read it in some book. It was their life.
They know of
what they speak.
There are
ministers, who are constantly threatening to put people out of the church.
There are
ministers who act as policemen to see that other ministers toe the line.
Those who do
not are side lined.
Ministers or
their wives are sick, some have had breakdowns, some have suffered
a degree of
blindness, some have died. I do not class these things as blessings.
The leaders
who are misleading their flocks can be identified in two places.
Daniel
11:35 And some of them of understanding shall fall,
to try them, and to purge,
and to make them
white, even to the time of the end: because
it is
yet for a time appointed.
The leaders
are not fools.
They are
people who had understanding.
The second
place refers to 'strong delusion'.
2
Thessalonians 2 In verse 7
We see that
from the time of Paul the mystery of iniquity, which means
Satan's hidden
activity through people was already working.
2
Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he
who now
letteth will
let, until he be taken out of the way.
2
Thessalonians 2 In verse 8
We see that
this continues right up to the return of Christ.
2
Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord
shall
consume with the
spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2
Thessalonians 2 In verse 9
We see that
this is Satanic activity.
2
Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of
Satan with
all power and
signs and lying wonders,
2
Thessalonians 2 In verses 10 to 12
We see that
the words them and they
are used. In reality we see that the
strong delusion
is such that they believe a lie and it affects many. In experience
we see that it
affects the leaders and the membership.
2
Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they
might be saved.
2
Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion,
that they should believe a lie:
2
Thessalonians 2:12 That they all might be
damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure
in
unrighteousness.
The truth is
that the brain washing has been so thorough that even when members,
be they
leaders or lay members, see the lies and error, they cannot break away.
They have a
misguided loyalty.
As one
minister said, if you leave us where will you go?
The
implication is that you are trapped there is no way out, because you are
in the one
Of course this
is yet another lie.
It is like an
abused wife, who stays and takes the beatings from her drunken husband.
She fears to
leave because she feels that she might end up in a worse situation
than her
present relationship.
So powerful is
the spirit of control, and do not be fooled that is precisely what it is,
that members
will tell you outright that the ministers are lying to them,
but yet they
stick around. They will tell you that they do not read the
'church
publications' which are branded 'rubbish', and 'lies', however,
they dutifully
send in their financial contributions. I admit that I do not really understand
this at all.
The literature
that they throw in the bin is their money.
They might as
well throw it directly into the bin themselves.
Surely it
behoves us to be wise stewards.
Does that
sound like wise stewardship with the blessings which we have been given?
As I have said
before if in your meetings you acknowledge that you
are being
told
rubbish and lies, I would say that you are actually worshipping at the altar of
Satan,
and
not the Eternal God.
John
8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts
of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the
truth,
because there
is no truth in him.
When he
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
1
John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him,
and declare
unto you, that God is light, and in him is no
darkness
We are clearly told we cannot be in
the light and at the same time walk in darkness.
John
8:12 ¶ Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the
light of the world:
he that
followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
We are told that if we say we have
fellowship with Christ
and yet walk in darkness we are
liars.
1
John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk
in darkness,
we lie, and do
not the truth:
We have written many times that we
have to come out of
Revelation
18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her,
my people, that ye be not partakers of her
sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
We see exactly the same thing here.
1
Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation,
a peculiar
people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him
who
hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
We are told that we must not be
unequally yoked.
Ephesians
5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful
works of darkness,
but rather
reprove them.
2
Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with
unbelievers:
for what
fellowship hath righteousness with
unrighteousness?
and what
communion hath
light with
darkness?
Note although
this addresses the W.C.G. you can see the very same thing happens
in other
'fellowships', so this has a much broader application than might first appear.
We should
therefore apply these messages to our own circumstances.
I believe that any one who is part of an organisation
which in a publication quotes
the poet
"Better
to reign in hell than serve in heaven", is in serious trouble.
This might
obviously be seeking to get attention,
but I would
not read any further.
It probably
sums up the situation.
It certainly
leaves me in no doubt that 'God has left the building'.

Alberto Rivera - ex Jesuit Priest’s Check list, for
you to see if your
church is under the control of the Roman Catholic
Church.
1. Is your church still protesting against the tyranny of
the papacy?
2. does your church still teach that the papacy is the
anti-christ,
or is it something that your
church once taught, but now shies away from
because it is not politically
correct?
3. Does your church engage in celebration style church
services that are more
contemporary with the times
and have more upbeat music?
This was part of the papacy's
plan at Vatican II in taking over all the churches.
4. Is your church forgetting its historic teachings and
becoming more modern,
casting away the old truths as
relics of the past?
5. Are your church periodicals finding more and more good
things to say
about the papacy, even
considering the
6. Is your church willing to join
the ecumenical movement, even if it means sacrificing
some
basic teachings or principles that the church once believed?
Be Humble Repent Listen To The Eternal
God Obey Him.
This is very easy to say, but I assure you that it is
physically impossible without
the empowerment
of the Eternal God.
Just going up
to some altar call, running to some church, or isolating yourself
in the hope
that somehow it will all go away, will not do it.
What are you going to do about it before it is too
late?
