Recently listened to the following radio broadcast produced by PCG: Trumpet Weekly #528: Week in Review: Battered America—Hurricanes and Burning Cities, and Much More (August 28, 2020).
At one point Richard Palmer is discussing the wildfires in California and he says that with all the weather events that have occurred lately clearly something is happening. A little ten year boy quoted in The Guardian as expressing concern that people need to turn to God in the wake of these weather disasters. Their implication is that these events are being caused by PCG's God. But they cannot admit that these weather related events are being exacerbated by human made climate change. Shame on the PCG leadership for minimizing the ongoing climate change crisis.
In another part of that segment Richard Palmer discuses PCG's booklet about this topic, Why 'Natural' Disasters? Palmer talks it up at length and discusses it with Joel Hilliker. It was Joel Hilliker who was originally credited as the author of that booklet. In the current edition of it no author is listed.
They talk to Brent Nagtegaal and talk about the anti-government protests in Lebanon following the tragic explosion of August 4, 2020. The protests are simplistically presented as protests against Hezbollah even though these are other parties, some of them Christian, that happen to be aligned with Hezbollah in that particular government. Is a protest against Lebanese Christian political party aligned with Hezbollah part of PCG's interpretation of Bible prophecy? Lebanon has always been quite politically diverse. At any given time in Lebanon several political parties will be aligned against other political parties. The fractiousness of Lebanese politics is nothing new. It is disheartening seeing how the PCG leadership rationalizes messy reality to conform to their (ever failing) predictions and speculations.
Andrew Müller and Joel Hilliker talks about coronavirus restrictions in Australia. These restrictions are presented as being too harsh. Müller cites an article written in a non-PCG source as saying that Australia been turned into a convict nation. And yet Australia death toll from that awful disease is far less than that in the United States.
Listening to this radio broadcast reminds the rest of us that it is so good to be free from Armstrongism and live in freedom.
