Creepy UCG Program To Indoctrinate Young Children Into Staying In The Church




The Untied Church of God has published new guidelines for a new youth educational instruction program, "UCG Youth Instruction Program—A Deuteronomy 6 Model."

Like all COG's these days, the UCG is not able to keep it's youth from remaining tithing members once they hit college age. Most leave because of the hypocrisy they see daily or have easily proven that the law is NOT to be kept, or that they are just plain sick of religion.

The following quote from the United News is stirring up a lot of talk on various COG related sites.  What has struck many people is the list of things that people can do to entice children to stay involved, starting at a young age.  What many are noticing is that the list sounds much like what pedophiles do to groom children into becoming compliant.  While I know that was not UCG's intent, it still is rather creepy!  Nothing makes a COG feel more successful though than having brain-numbed compliant children and adults.

One thing that is painfully obvious is that no where in the list of points below is there ANY reference to Jesus.  They just cannot handle the guy! If they did, they would have to admit their Old Covenant silliness is wrong.
While God clearly lays the primary responsibility for teaching children on the parents, He also indicates that the Church community at large must be involved in passing on His ways.
As a church, we are assessing how to be more effective with youth instruction by emphasizing a Deuteronomy:6:6-7 “parents first” model, where the Church supports and supplements parents’ teaching, but does not supplant their responsibility.

So how can you as a Church member be involved and help pass on God’s way of life to the children in your congregation?

Here are some tips:
 
• Get to know every child’s name and have conversations with him or her.

• Make a point to acknowledge, smile, talk to each child every Sabbath or at other times when you see them. It is important for them to know you care about them as an individual.

• Get to know one thing about him/her that they enjoy doing.

• Ask how school is and what do they want to do when they grow up.

• Find out who their favorite Bible hero is.

• Find out what their favorite Bible scriptures or stories are. Why do they relate or like those the best?

• Where are they going for the Feast and what are they looking forward to learning and doing?

Philadelphia Church of God Brags About Ripping Another COG Family Apart



The Philadelphia Church of God had an article in the October2, 2014 issue of The Philadelphian  rag for TRUE followers of Flurry's harsh spite-fueled god.

It featured an article about a Canadian teen who lives in a household where the mother is a Philadelphia Church of God member and his father is a member of the United Church of God.


Reading the article it is easy to see how Flurry brainwashes his followers through his lies and deceptive practices.  He article is very blatant on labeling every one outside the PCG as lost and Laodiciean.  It's sad to see this kid swallowing this vomit, particularly when there is absolutely NOTHING in the PCG that is God oriented or grace directed.

"Eventually, the WCG's watered-down doctrine convicted  D..........'s parents to stop attending services.  When he was about 9, the family left the WCG and began attending an offshoot group. His father still attends services there.

"D........'s mother left the offshoot group in June 2012 after 5 years.....That August,  D.....'s mother counseled with PCG Local Elder Timothy Oostendarp in their home.

It took time for D...... to adjust to a change of scenery after spending an entire life attending Laodicean services.

Further down in the article they make this statement about the boy using his as a direct jab against UCG:  
Before making the move to the PCG, he only endured services, now he looks forward to them.

Then the PCG writes:

D...... knows from experience how off-track the Laodiciean churches are.   "It's hard to see when you are in it," he says.  "I didn't have a standard to compare it to until I came here.  The thing that really characterized it: 'The rules are slack. They aren't urgent about keeping the rules or keeping the standards high."

"They keep the holy days, " D..... says.  "They do a lot of things similar to the truth.  It's very deceptive.  There's no revelation or deep prophecy, just mainly Christian living.  They think God works with all of (the splinter groups).  I never heard them say anything about the true Church.  They never talk about being the Bride of Christ."

D....... hopes his father will come to the PCG one day and experience the blessing of being God's Philadelphia remnant.

It's sickening how the Philadelphia Church of God and the Restored Church of God take great pleasure in using children as weapons to tear families apart all to appease their hate-filled god.  This has been the tradition of Flurry and his cronies for a long time now.  Dave Pack does he exact same thing. 

Great will be the day these sick men are out of the picture and Armstrongism is wiped from the face of the earth!
