Overview of the January 2015 Issue of Tomorrow's World

The latest issue of LCG's recruitment magazine, Tomorrow's World, is now out. Let us see what LCG's leaders have to say.

This issue reports to have a circulation of 492,000. This is an increase from the November-December issue (472,000), the September-October issue (458,000) and the July-August issue (457,000).

Roderick C. Meredith has a personal article insisting that one must avoid deception by believing what LCG's leaders tell him or her what to believe.

Roderick C. Meredith has an article praising the rewards that awaits you if you give him and his organization a tenth of your money. This is how Roderick C. Meredith makes his money. Getting tithes is the real reason for LCG's existence. If fact LCG members are required to pay three tithes to LCG.

Stuart Wachowitz has an article discussing John Alexander MacDonald and how he helped to establish Canada in 1867.

Richard Ames has an article once again forecasting (prophesying) that World War III will soon erupt any minute now. HWA and his imitators have been loudly insisting this is the case continuously since the 1930s.

Adam West has a little article condemning attempts to legalize euthanasia in Britain.

John Meakin has an article which exploits the recent referendum regarding whether Scotland should become independent or not to preach the inaccurate dogma of British Israelism.

Questions and Answers tells people that they must observe the Sabbath the way LCG's leaders demand. In actual fact Roderick C. Meredith has perverted the Sabbath into a terrible burden.

Douglas Winnail has an article entitled "The Demise of the West", insisting that America and Britain are on the verge of catastrophe. This is simply the latest of Douglas Winnail's many alarmist articles insisting the Great Tribulation is near.

Sheldon Monson has an article encouraging young people to have faith in (LCG's) God during times of suffering.

J. Davy Crockett III (he who said obelisks are pagan) has an article condemning people enjoying movies about zombies.

Charles Knowlton has an article discussing labor relations between employers and employees.

Strangely there are no letters presented in this issue. Instead page 33 contains a message about the magazine.

And so we see once again how LCG's leaders continue to produce a magazine in order to get more people to pay more tithes to LCG so that LCG's leaders may live off of what is given to them.

"Will God Bless You and Your Family?"

That depends.

Let me ask you a question: Are you a member of the LCG?

If the answer is "No!", then probably God will bless you.

Any other answer puts you at risk, if you'll remember what happened in 2005: If you can't expect God to protect you when you are attending Sabbath Services, then it might be time to choose a different path.

And as far as the prophecies are concerned?

Why should anyone believe that their predictions for 2015 will come to pass, since they've gotten it all wrong for a very long time. To trust them is to be a fool.

Can employers and employees get along? If you are an employee of the LCG compound, probably not. Staying would mean that you are a zombie.

Fall of Berlin Wall NOT Proof HWA was Right

It is often asserted that the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 proved that HWA was right and he really did see the future.

This of course is nonsense. Herbert W. Armstrong said that Christ would return within twenty years in his book Mystery of the Ages. (PCG has since deleted those words so someone in there knows HWA spoke nonsense.) How convenient for them to forget this.

Also Herbert W. Armstrong never said the Soviet Union would collapse. He thought it would survive intact until a few years after Christ's return. It shows how biased some many in the COGs are that they never seem to notice this. This inconvenient truth is just tossed into the memory hole.

It is true that HWA said that some Eastern European states would break away from Moscow's orbit and join the European Empire he said would arise at any moment. But he never talked of the Soviet Union collapsing. He did not teach that. Also he portrayed the rise of the European Empire to be far quicker then what has actually happened. In Mystery of the Ages Christ was supposed to return by 2005 at the most.

So assertions that the fall of the Berlin Wall somehow prove that HWA was right is just complete nonsense spread by people who, for whatever reason, are still in denial that HWA was a false prophet who merely talked out of his own "human reasoning".

Truth about Roderick C. Meredith

What sort of man is he? A man who could say things like this.

"Mr. Armstrong has reminded us again that we are to disfellowship any members who attend GTA's [Garner Ted Armstrong's] campaigns, church services or other meetings. Some of our weaker members apparently do not realize that this man is in direct rebellion against God and His government! We must not allow them, or ourselves, to rationalize about this matter, to try to "help the underdog," or in any other way lend support to one whose gross immorality, whose long standing "play acting" and hypocrisy, and whose direct insubordination to the Government of God has long been and is now a source of confusion and DIVISION among God's people. So, as per Mr. Armstrong's instruction, I charge and exhort every one of you faithful ministers of the living Christ to explain this in no uncertain terms to your members, to warn them about this cause of division and then to disfellowship any who consort with GTA or any of his fellows." (Roderick C. Meredith, Pastor's Report, May 21, 1979, pp. 1-2.)

See here for this statement's context.

David Robinson on Roderick C. Meredith

WCG minister David Robinson had this to say about Roderick C. Meredith in a letter he wrote to him on September 19, 1979.

"During the ten years I have been an employee of the Worldwide Church, you have been poorly spoken of by most of the ministers and employees I have known. I vividly remember the absolute unbounded glee that was openly expressed by a good number of respected men in the church when you were first "shanghaied." [In 1972.] I could begin by naming names, which I am sure would shock you. I was one of the few who stood, where possible, for you. Your tenure as superintendent of ministers, as I believe the office was then called, was looked on as nightmarish. While you held office during the years of growth, most of those whom I know gave you very little credit for that growth. Almost everyone whom I know, whether they be former friends of yours, or continuing foes, recalls insensitive and terrible things you have done. Without exception, at least among my acquaintances, they all credit you with an unbridled lust for power and list you as one who is willing to pay the price of gaining that power, no matter what. I have, through many of the last few years, believed you had principles you would not violate. Many a man of experience in the church assured me of my error. Events have proven me wrong and them right. Mr. Armstrong has himself been widely quoted as saying of you that you were so righteous that you were so "righteous you were unrighteous." " (David Robinson, Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web, Chapter 16, p. 207.)

Of course it is impossible for me to personally verify these assertions but people deserve to know what this knowledgeable man had to say about him.
