The
Feast is no longer
enough
“Follow me,” he cried
holding up an imperious finger, “I will
leadyou into the Kingdom”. The only place he
could have led us is into death because he
died in 1986 without a single one of his
‘inspired’ prophecies coming to pass in his
lifetime.
Reich
Herbert Armstrong
was a science fiction writer: His genre was
a special kind of science fiction known as
alternative history science
fiction.
Fraud
Think about this.
Hypothetically, what if you were God? We
know now, that this just can’t be, but what
if you, as God, had actually chosen a
father and son team to warn the world that
the end was coming in 1975?
Loyalty
When it comes to cults,
we’re not talking about shepherds, we’re
talking about wolves, which people are all
too willing to not just follow, but to give
every part of their lives over
to.
When Prophecy
Fails
When Prophecy Fails is a
study of what happens to individuals when
their belief system has been shown to be in
error (disconfirmed).
Scientific Society
Superstition
Arab society went from brilliant
science to superstition because of an
ideology.
Bar
Rescue
Several years back, a
member at the Feast of Tabernacles posted a
picture of his collection of alcoholic
beverages in his motel room at the time.
Very quickly, someone not associated with
Armstrongism posted and asked, “Where can I
sign up??!!??”
Empty
Promises
Herbert Armstrong wrote a
lot of booklets which made promises —
actual and implied. When we go back through
and review the booklets he and his staff
wrote in the light of what has actually
happened, it is clear that the great
swelling promises and prognostications were
profoundly empty.
Weak
Herbert Armstrong —
Evil Cult CEO detested the
weak.
Respect
A very popular but
very disturbing new series on the USA
Network, Mr. Robot, is very topical and
quite graphic. Those involved in making the
series have made every effort to be as
relevant as possible in portraying the
world of The Evil Corporation and one man’s
effort to “save the world” as a quite
mentally ill delusional but highly
proficient tech hacker.
Pope
Francis vs
Corporations
Catholic church embraces
liberation
theology.
Award
The third 2015
Gold-lated AARSE Award goes to the many
anti-vax parents of children in the U.S.A.
and U.K. who have wisely protected their
children from autism by preventing their
vaccinations for measles and other
childhood diseases.
Anger
Armstrongists are
the masters of standing on other people’s
work to make themselves look impressive and
wise
Suits
Herbert Armstrong
insisted that men wear business suits to
Sabbath Services, the Feast and to
Spokesman Club. Why? The stated reason was
to show respect for God. Was that the real
reason?
Minority
Report
The Church of God Seventh
Day website reveals that the CoG7D has a
worldwide membership of over 300,000
members. This is approximately 10 times the
membership of all the Armstrongist churches
combined.
Moral
Question
Butter will always
be butter, and margarine will always be
margarine. Bottom line is that even if a
supreme being and eternal laws were taken
out of the equation, heterosexual
relationships would still remain the way in
which the species is propagated, and the
young are nurtured and imprinted with the
value systems of their
parents.
United States Goes
Gay
Floods, droughts, famine,
forest fires, earthquakes, hurricanes,
tornadoes, volcanoes, tsunamis, collapse of
the economy, disease epidemics and even
maybe a meteor strike or two — will all be
the result of the United States going gay
with marriages — at least according to the
Cult of Herbert Armstrong Mafia
ultraconservative Bible thumping
hypocrites...
The Corporation of
God™
Herbert Armstrong claimed
that he was the very first to bring the
gospel of the Kingdom of God to this earth
in over 1,900 years. The gospel Herbert
Armstrong brought was far different from
the one described in the New
Testament...
Caste
System
And so it begins: We don’t
care, we don’t have to — we’re the
ministers!
Slaver
App
Effective immediately, all
members of the church are to install the
Slaver App on their cell phones, smart
phones, tablets and personal
computers.
What Jesus is
Really
Like
The New Testament claims that
Christ lives within Christians. The Apostle
Paul said to follow him as he followed
Christ. We are to be like Christ. It is with
this in mind that we choose to examine the
character, behavior and personalities of the
leaders in the Armstrongist community to find
out what Jesus was really like.
Smug
Herbert Armstrong was smug.
He had an explanation for everything. He
believed that God personally revealed
everything really important to
him.
Codependence
Delusion turns into denial and
delusion isn’t just really bad denial,
delusion is a whole different
thing.
Oops!
Somebody Didn’t Get The
Memo!
The discussion is over. It’s
now become a dead issue! We’ve won! British
Israelism has been thoroughly
debunked!
We at The Painful
Truth want to thank The Journal for doing our
job for
us!
We’re delighted with the
support the latest The Journal has given our
cause!
It's
Springtime
And you know what that means:
Armstrongist leaders come out of hibernation
after a brief winter respite to grouch about
stupid stuff that doesn’t mean a thing to
anyone but them
Poof of the
Bible
Some of the ministers in the
Armstrongist churches seem to have realized
that no one can actually prove the Bible is
true and may believe the information from
Theologians...
Qualifications
The Scripture is
clear on the qualifications of a minister: He
must be the husband of one wife. He cannot be
divorced and remarried with his ex still
living.
Synagogue of
Satan
The Bible is about the Jews
(haplogroup J). It is not about Celts living
in the British Isles (haplogroup R1b). BI is
nothing less than an instantiation of the
principle contained in the Book of Revelation
referred to as the Synagogue of Satan –
people who represent themselves as Jews
racially but are not.
Confused
It is our understanding from
Scripture that there is fruit of the spirit
after conversion.
Wired
Armstrongists are unlikely to
accept anything that refutes their views:
Herbert Armstrong said it; they believe it;
that is that.
Denis
Micheal
Rohan
Ushering in the
Apocalypse.
Self-Deception
Herbert Armstrong was the master of
self-deception. Not only that, but he trained
us all to be adept at self-deception. And
self-deception is exactly why people stay
with the Cult of Herbert Armstrong
Mafia.
HWA: 29 years and
still
dead
Of all the stock photos of
HWA, I have no idea what thoughts seeing the
Sacred Treasure would bring to the mind of
the avid reader. It should be the same
reaction if Ford Motor Company honored its
founder with a photo of Henry with his Grand
Cross of the Supreme Order of the German
Eagle...
Culture in
Decline
Series
Peter Joseph is asking the
questions and proposing the possible
solutions that we should be demanding from
the elected leaders of this crazy world. His
brilliant analysis of this ridiculous system
we're operating under is one of the most
important voices for change in this
generation.
Stealing in the
Name of
God
Editorial. January
2015
2015:
Stagnation
The stench of
stagnation with entropy drifted everywhere
among the Cult of Herbert Armstrong Mafia
sects in 2014 and trends indicate that 2015
will continue the stagnation. No one should
expect the return of the Laodocean rich and
increased in goods in need of nothing
prosperity of the 1970s Worldwide Church of
God because it is never coming
back.
