Thanks for the link to Matches in the Gas Tank, Mike. The excerpt and synopsis just highlights (for me) the differences (as well as the disturbing similarities) that took place between the Radio Church of God days, and the Worldwide era that I grew up in. Listening to the UCG lifers wax rhapsodic in their "75 Years of False Prophecy and Still Going Strong!" Feast video of a couple of years ago, I was struck again by how very liberal the church was, before the "get the church back on TRACK" era that I grew up in. I hope Carla does well with her memoir, even though it reflects a much gentler Armstrongism than I was exposed to.

Tongue in Cheek – “What’s next – Pastor General”??

Looks to me like Ronnie & company are steering the sheeple away from prophecy focus and reinforcing the “group mentality” – words like followers, family and true church instead of thunders & trumpets – reinforcing the ‘us’ v.s. ‘them’ way of thinking

The followers will be ok with that, cuz their needs are being met – they are still part of an elite ‘called out’ group and are ‘special’ – and next year they get rewarded with a full 7 days of Feasting -

“Wayne would make a great cheerleader”

I totally agree…all the so called ministers would be better off in skirts…they are anything but men.

Pretty soon Ron will be sitting second in the saddle with Christ. The question that comes to mind though is will Ron be behind Christ or sitting up front.

One can obviously do a lot of thinking while being driven to Detroit by ones wife can one not? Now Ron’s a Apostle as well, one more title in a slew of titles that will be rather hard to fit onto a business card. He’s this and he’s that, he’s a witness, a spokesman, a prophet, a minister, the leader of the one church, a Apostle, father Christmas, John F. Kennedy, Gandi, Adam, Batman & Robin, etc… He’s all that and a side of chips I tells ya!
The more time his has to sit and think about it the more important he becomes and the more time he has to undermine Jesus’s authority and slowly chip away at his very own Lord so that Ron becomes a close 2nd in command after the Christ… and possibly a co-equal in time?
I’ve got a title too, I’m a human being and I personally humbly have Christ as Lord.
I like my title oh so more than Ron’s many. None of the regalness, but much more comfortable and easy to live with.
Go figure?
