PCG Minister Tells Family God Will Kill Their Baby Girl If They Don't Follow His Instructions



The filth that is the Philadelphia Church of God just gets sicker day by day.

Here is a letter from the Exit and Support site from a couple that left the Philadelphia Church of God cult and how they escaped the clutches of the "Flurrys, Turgeons, Malones, and Culpeppers."

Imagine being told by a minisTURD that if you do not heed the instructions he commands you that his god will strike your child down.  This is the sick vermin that make up the ministry of the Philadelphia Church of God.



God Has Set Us Free:
September 20, 2014

Soon it will be the one year anniversary of our official resignation from the PCG cult. Flurry and his henchmen always told us that God would curse us or kill us if we ever stopped "supporting the Work" (i. e., putting money in their bank accounts so they can live in luxury). Or if we ever stopped attending services or keeping the Mosaic Sabbath law, God would kill us or strike us down horribly.

None of this has happened. In fact, God has blessed me with a state job that has full time hours, a future and paid benefits. In three weeks I will graduate from the academy and become a sworn Peace Officer. This is God himself setting me free from the obsolete Mosaic Law that so many are still enslaved to by those gangsters in Edmond.

If I would have stayed in the PCG cult, I would probably be homeless and on government assistance section 8 housing. Keeping the Mosaic Holy Days and Sabbaths destroyed every good job opportunity I ever had. Gerry Flurry always told me that giving him money would ensure my salvation, health and prosperity. Instead, giving him the money I needed to live my life almost cost me everything I had.

Thanks to my good friend [name removed] who told me about ESN I was able to conquer the fear that the Flurrys, Turgeons, Malones, and Culpepoers used to keep me sending them my hard earned money to keep my salvation. Realizing from ESN that Gerald Flurry plagiarized most of Malachi's Message and was arrested for being drunk on the Sabbath disillusioned me from the adoration I had for that fake prophet from Oklahoma.

The hardest thing now is to not be overcome with resentment and anger towards those men in Edmond who deceived me into giving them my limited resources so they could live in elegant homes, drive luxury cars, and travel all over the world in comfort. When I went out to Edmond OK and saw the wealth and extravagance that these people surround themselves with I was shocked. Then it was the snobbish arrogance and pride of these Edmond elites that sickened me to the core. Here are a bunch of individuals living off of the hard work, sweat, and tithes of others and they act like it was all owed to them.

The final straw was when a "minister of God" told me that God would kill my baby girl if I did not follow his instructions. We left and never looked back. Someone in Edmond like Brian Davis would read this letter and laugh and mock. But we are free now and for the first time we have the blessings Flurry always promised but never delivered.

God bless you all. --Brett and Carmen Streutker

Living Church of God Sinks Further Into The Depths of Spiritual Depravity!



The Living Church of God has come out saying that it is OK for members to clap after special music Herbert is rolling in his grave right now! 


Special Music—Applause Allowed:  In the past, we have discouraged applause for special music, except for children’s performances.  As per Dr. Meredith’s direction, applause is allowed as an appropriate way to show appreciation for special music in Sabbath and Holy Day services.  Sept. 18, 2014 Weekly Update

Under the HWA regime it was a gross sin to clap after special music.  No one deserved to hear applause, it only went to their heads and made them vain. 

 LCG continues its downward slide into apostasy by now going against Herbert Armstrong's divinely inspired teachings.

 Here's what Herbert Armstreong said about clapping in church.
From the September 22, 1983 bulletin:
PICTURE TAKING DURING SERVICES: You are asked not to take any pictures during services, and especially during Mr. Armstrong's transmission.

APPLAUSE AT THE FEAST: In past years, many members have applauded during sermons and sermonettes at the Feast which, all too often, became an embarrassment to both audience and speakers. We want to alleviate this problem by informing you of the proper approach to this subject.

Normally, it is inappropriate to applaud. for special music, sermonettes or sermons. However, spontaneous applause for announcements of inspiring developments in the Work., special intervention or miracles from God, or a special appearance by Mr. Armstrong would be appropriate and fitting. When we want to show our appreciation to God for the special music or spiritual messages we will be receiving during the Fesst [sic] of Tabernacles, it would be more effective and appropriate to do so by our inspired singing of hymns at services and our private, personal prayers of thanks to God.

Therefore, PLEASE DO NOT applaud for sermonettes and sermons at the Feast.

UCG "Why Were You Born " Fiasco Drops $50,000+ For One Potential New Member




United Church of God is scrambling to recover from their recent "Why Were You Born" seminar that garnered 74  non-COG people from the greater Cincinnati area population of 2.2 million.  Estimates of well over $50,000 went into this sad media campaign.

Now it is being said by several that out of those 74 potential recruits to UCG only one has expressed any interest in attending a Saturday service.  If he shows up the UCG should treat the man like a king since they have dropped $50,000+ on his recruitment.

That's one expensive campaign for one person!  He had better be a strong tithe payer!

Way to go UCG!  You make us proud!!!!!!!!
