The latest crisis in United Church of God an International Association (UCGia, or UCG for short) seems to indicate that the Churches of God organizations will continue to get smaller and smaller. Evidently, there are those who desire exactly that, but I’m not addressing those folks. Rather, I am addressing…
We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. Think about it. All of the Bible verses that are used to show you should not rebel against authority. Naturally, Korah is always brought up. One interesting take is that the Pharisees rebelled against Jesus, which is sort of…
Facebook UWS site reports are that Roger West, Roy Demarest and Clyde Kilough have resigned today. Previously, Demarest was suspended. I assume West’s resignation letter will eventually be posted at the AC site under the new Resignation Letters heading.

Someone on Facebook put together an informal list of names of ministers who signed at least one of the letters. I count 167 names. As of this morning, 447 names had signed the FB petition in support of the ministers who signed the Open Letter. One of the reasons I…

December 7th might be the “day that shall live in infamy”, but December 17th was when Joseph Tkach Sr dropped a bombshell on the Worldwide Church of God. Known as the “Christmas Eve Sermon”, it was taped and played in all congregations on 7 January 1995. Thus, the exodus trickle…
According to James Malm’s site, Greg Sargent was suspended, probably today. Some of you in Cleveland would want to know this. It sounds like he will be going on his own. It appears I need to just update Google alerts to a more generic search as Malm also reports that…
Funny how things work sometimes. I fully intended this morning to write about Latin America and Leon Walker. Leon Walker’s insistence that he and his followers are still part of UCGia, even though he and the ministers under him were all fired, was baffling to me. I mean, I was…
Peter Eddington of UCG’s Media and Communications Services posted today about the “Illegal Use of United Church of God Name and Logo” on “anonymously prepared letters that are critical of the Council of Elders”, obviously referring to the 3 New GCE Documents posted on the AC website. I thought it…
