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
and
I am known 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

There are 18 items mentioned above.
In over 30 years in that organisation, 17 of those items, which are in

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
Protestant denominations.
Though the origin of this creed is claimed to be
unknown, from its very name

First Council of Nicaea (AD 325)
This was part of the Roman Catholic /
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.

conclusion of the book quotes both creeds in full.

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
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.
Isaiah 66: 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
to 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
even upon them shall
be no rain.
Zechariah
14:18 And if the family of
that have no rain;
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
of all nations 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.

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.

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

He
is actually Saint John Chrysostom, another

Gregory of Nyssa (d. post A.D. 385) let us give him, his true
title.

is actually Saint Gregory of Nyssa.
He
belongs to the group known as the "Cappadocian Fathers"

Ephrem Syrus also called Ephraem Syrus, let us give him his true
title.
He
is actually Saint Ephrem Syrus.
Born at Nisibis, then under Roman rule, early
in the fourth century; died June, 373.
The
name of his father is unknown, but he was a pagan and a priest
of
the goddess Abnil or Abizal.
Catholic Encyclopedia
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
the
Great Whore,
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
the
mighty saving events of the Exodus, when God brought them
out
of slavery in
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
Concerning
the
feasts 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
the feasts of the LORD.
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.
Jeremiah 51:39 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.
Be courageous and

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
people?
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?
