Alas, AW has been rated PG. The only consolation is that my favorite bete noire, Doc Thiel, has received the same rating. Children (in the unlikely event that any actually read this blog) should leave now, unless accompanied by a responsible adult (which probably excludes any of you who belong to PCG.)
The squeaky clean Gary Scott, despite calling his excellent blog XCG, snatches a G rating, as does Felix Taylor. Excuse me while I go sob in a corner...
In any event, for those few readers who don't already realise it, the main Thiel newspage has been bloggered. Good move Dr. Bob. You'll always learn something new there, such as the astounding fact that ye olde Rise and Fall historian Edward Gibbon (not Gibbons, sorry Bob) wasn't a COG member, gasp! Now I ask you, where else would you find an assurance to that effect?

"No bad words were found." So I guess I am a "family friendly site!"
Kscribe.
"G" and "PG" ratings are doubtful for any site I post to, which would probably rate an automatic "RX" after any of my postings.
"RX". That's so bad that you have to have a doctor's prescription!
The truth is, it is unlikely that Bob Thiel rates at all.
I wish someone in Hollywood could see the potential that the COG drama has for a blockbuster movie, or better still a trilogy, for there is sooo much to cover. Sex, Money, Power, Intrigue, Shootings, Blackmail, Eeery Weirdness, Backstabbing and Lust/Perversion et.al.
By most standards, it would probably get an X rating, so it would have to be toned down, somewhat, to make it into an "R" rating.
My reccomendations for casting:
Joe Tkach Sr. - Ernest Borgnine
Joe Tkach Jr. - Allan Rickman
Young GTA - John Travolta
Old GTA - Larry Hagman
Stan Rader - Al Pacino
HWA- Carrol O'Connor
Rod Meredith - Don Knotts
Gerald Flurry- Anthony Hopkins "ala Silence of the Lambs"
Dave Pack - Robert Englund "ala Freddy Krueger"
Gavin Rumney- Jim Carey
Lussenheide - "As Himself"
LOL!-

I'd add do the following cast:
Greg Albrecht - Ray Liotta
Herbert Armstrong - Anthony Hopkins
Garner Ted Armstrong -
Tony Dovolani
Mike Feazell - Toby McGuire
Gerald Flurry - Appearing as himself, no actor could quite capture that weirdness.
Morgan Freeman can play God... again... since George Burns is not available -- so far as we know.
Christopher Walken should have a part in there somewhere. Remember that the Hollywoodized version of the Worldwiseguys of God wouldn't look that much like the real thing. Like Tim Robbins "The Player" we have to have a "happy ending" and have everything work out. Otherwise, it just becomes just another slasher horror film and not the blockbuster we are looking for. Unless Quentin Tarantino got involved.
Maybe Meryl Streep can play Ellen Escat, thank you very much, after all, she did play the part of Bart Simpson's girlfriend.
If we must have an actor playing Gavin, I'd pick Dom DeLuise -- all around good guy family man with a very sophisticated funny streak. Or William Shatner could do in a pinch.
John Schneider would be good as a younger GTA. Since he can sing and act, the portrayal on Hee-Haw should be a snap. He would come off well as a sympathetic but doomed character. OK, OK. Maybe Warren Beatty as GTA.
Robert Picardo as Mike Feazell.
For Stanley Rader, James Spader or John Larroquette have already played lawyers, although Andy Dick has the look.
Robert Stack might be credible as Roderick Meredith. The Living Church of God certainly has some unsolved mysteries. Or maybe Andy Griffith could play him -- if he's up to the challenge.
Clancy Brown as Dr. Robert Thiel.
I'd support Michael Hogan as Herbert Armstrong. The part would be way below the caliber of Steven Hill. Maybe an odd choice perhaps, but on Battlestar Galactica Michael Hogan portrays a drunken leader....

Oh the irony of that statement!!!
Rodney Lain used to say "Pasadena couldn't accept Earl Williams and New Covenant because the thought of Bible truth coming from a black man was just too much for them. They had to run him off first, then claim they were teaching that all along."
It'd be really funny if God was really was anthropomorphic and black skinned!
Oh, I know.
Isn't it just precious?!
