Life, Hope, Truth, Greed and Fraud

Apr 032012

COGWA has obtained a new domain name for their social media and gospel-preaching platform.

Life, Hope and Truth is their new propaganda tool. The decision to use these words is not based on COGWA’s doctrines, since none of those words really apply to the church. Instead, they were chosen purely for tactical reasons.

First, COGWA had to find an available name it could use as a web address, Twitter account and Facebook page. Then, it had to consider what words were most popular to make the new cult website popup in search results and be friendlier to analytics, all in … More

Will Anyone Ever Take REAL Responsibility for the UCG-COGWA Split?

Mar 102012

It has been over a year since the UCG-COGWA split. I continue to sit in a COG congregation foolishly thinking that a minister, any minister, in either COGWA or the UCG or both, will stand up and take responsibility for yet another disastrous split that has caused family members as well as formerly close friends to take sides in an “argument” that was not even theirs to begin with. Once again, the ministry and hierarchy of the church of God have blood on their hands and have in the estimation of many members disqualified themselves as being shepherds of their … More

More sexual shenanigans recently in the COG

Feb 272012

Several years ago there was an entire UCG congregation in West Virginia which seceded from the mothership after a local elder molested a young lady in the congregation. The local elder had a history of doing this sort of thing. He had repeatedly been admonished by church leaders to stop, but as is so often the case, he didn’t because he knew they would never discipline him. Keep in mind, this was back around 2004 – 2005 when all the leaders of COGWA were still running United. Doug Horchak, Jim Franks, Richard Pinelli, Clyde Kilough, etc., were all aware of … More

A Problem of Automation

Feb 172012

It’s a simple matter of history. WCG was a corrupt religious scam playing on the doomsday fears of religious fundamentalists to enrich the cult’s leadership. Dr. Walter Martin’s “Kingdom of the Cults” demonstrates this, along with countless letters, documents, stories, accounts from former members, pastors and myriad other sources that reveal Herbert W. Armstrong as the mentally unstable con artist he was.

Armstrong passed on his methods of operation within the venomous church culture he created under the guise of establishing himself as an “Apostle,” a religious authority to be respected on the level of Biblical legends, whose words he was “divinely … More

UCG Observations

Feb 162012

As UCG expands its social media, it was only matter of time before we would cross swords with them via Twitter. We even have @VictorKubik following us.

@ucgobservations looks to offer “exciting and/or commonplace observations at the UCG home office from dudes who work there.”

Tweeting with the curator of the feed, it seems he’s more interest in “lighthearted humor,” with which we have no problem. When questioned about why UCG and COGWA split, there was  the usual refusal to discuss it (which in many cases translates to “I don’t know”).

We won’t speculate as to who’s running the account, … More

COG News Roundup #10

Feb 132012

Time for another wonderful summary of the biggest news out of wide, weird world of the COG. This week it’s new headquarters for COGWA, Masonic conspiracy theories, RCG rants and rampant racism. It never gets more boring than it has to be.

COGWA’s Rolling In It

The new COGWA cult is thriving financially with its $1.3 million in reserves and new headquarters in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The 5,590 square foot space at “The Office Campus at Allen” and was chose exclusively by the cult’s elite, free of any member input on how their tithe money is spent on their … More
