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

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.

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:

Council of Constantinople (381)

common to the Catholic Church,
to all the Eastern churches separated from

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.

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

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
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
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of
all the families of the earth unto
18 And if the family of
be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the
heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of
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.
21 Yea, every pot in
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.

He is actually
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.

theory on the Church that, according to Specht "he deserves to be named

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
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
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
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
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 click on this link to see a 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.
We have mentioned some names in a previous part. We
can add Pastor David Meyer, who has been delivered from this evil, and now
regularly speaks out against it.
There are many messages from him in our archived
messages.
They are easy to find and they are all together.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion,
that they should
believe a lie:
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'.

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?
The only way out of our dilemmas is Jesus Christ.
He is the only way of escape.
Praise the Lord.
Come soon Lord Jesus.
Amen.
