People can constantly and inherently negotiating with their leaders on how affairs should be conducted. It is not as simple as Hilliker portrays things in this article.Redfox712https://www.blogger.com/profile/17734930967002040931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846567313402731847.post-46824357184657222962014-12-11T08:16:58.581-08:002014-12-11T08:16:58.581-08:00I am reminded -- strongly reminded -- of Gerald Wa...I am reminded -- strongly reminded -- of Gerald Waterhouse calling two of the leaders of the world, "Hokey Minh" and "Mousey Dung". Some example that sets for honoring government and its leaders.<br /><br />And what of the leader of North Korea who is god? I suppose the PCG has only good words for him, even though he is setting himself up in the place of God.<br /><br />And while we are at it, what about the authority of Joseph Tkach, Senior? I mean, how did the PCG come into existence if they actually respected, nay, admired, their God appointed leader?<br /><br />For that matter, Herbert Armstrong rebelled against the authority of the Church of God Seventh Day because, like Satan, he thought, <i>I could do just as good a job as Dugger and Dodd is doing</i>.<br /><br />It would be tempting to say that Flurry and cohorts only know rebellion, but that isn't true and doesn't cover the whole picture: They are also consummate liars and they are very cruel, plying virtual rape over those subject to their whims.<br /><br />Without rebellion, the United States wouldn't exist; without rebellion, the Worldwide Church wouldn't have existed; and without rebellion, the PCG could not exist.<br /><br />Since rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, PCG ministers, and especially Flurry, are warlocks.<br /><br />But go ahead and obey the assumed authority of Flurry and the PCG. That way you can sin with them in your idolatry and have the satisfaction of being able to wave to them as you burn in the Lake of Fire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
