TRANSCRIPTION of 
SABBATH DAY SERMON 155
Given by Lawrence A. Nowell
On July 14, 2012
1.)	This is The Obedient Church of God broadcasting live.

2.)	“I can tell by your eyes that you have probably been crying forever,” Yes, Father has been sad for 6,000 years because of your disobedience.

3.)	“And the stars in the sky don’t mean nothing to you, they’re a mirror.” Stars in the sky mean nothing, you even refuse to meet on His festival days. 

4.)	“I don’t want to preach about it, how you broke God’s heart; if I preach to you a little bit longer, if I preach, won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart.” We’re broadcasting from www.theworldtomorrow.org  and www.forthenations.com, all of them throughout the world, for the nations, to all people to turn your hearts back to the Father.

5.)	 “I don’t want to preach about it, how you broke God’s heart; if I preach to you a little bit longer, if I preach, won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart, God’s heart, God’s heart." 

6.)	Bonjour Paree, France, sez six (sees) hours après midi le houre du dinner au France, Six P.M. suppertime in Paris; Nine A.M. on the West Coast, Los Angeles; Twelve noon on the East Coast, New York City. Suppertime, breakfast time, lunch time, the perfect time for our spiritual feeding.

7.)	“I don’t want to preach about it, how you broke God’s heart, but if I preach to you a little bit longer, if I preach, won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart.”

8.)	Yes indeed, we are the only church that is preaching the Sabbath Day must be on the seventh –day in all the world, waiting for the sun set, and none of the offshoot Churches of God, nor, indeed, any of the Churches in the world, are following God’s proper Sabbath Day, except The Obedient Church of God. 

9.)	The proof is in Pakistan where we have a church of about 160, 200 including the children, and they wait until the sun sets [on the sixth-day] before they start the Sabbath Day. That is so important, because that is the test commandment that we talked about to you last week. That’s the sign between you and God; it is the mark that He puts on you and we have to follow it.

10.)	Today we are going to be teachings on the topics of lying, yes, and this will be directed to all of the Worldwide offshoots, the top officials, the top ministers in all of the Churches of God: the Living Church of God, the United Church of God. 

11.)	We are going to be telling you how you cannot continue to cover-up, and it is worse than to cover-up Mr. [Herbert W.] Armstrong’s fornication, incest with Dorothy. It is worse than that, because now they are lying by covering it up.

12.)	So this sermon is going to be directed to the ministers out of the offshoots of the Worldwide Churches of God: the Living Church of God, the United Church of God, Church of God the Eternal, especially, and also the Philadelphia Church of God.

13.)	Now for the rest of this sermon we’re going to be telling you about the 9th of Av coming up when all types of trouble break out for the church, for the Israelites, for the converted, for the people who are of the tribes of Israel, all 14 of them. Yes, there are 14 tribes. Twelve tribes are addressed, are mentioned in Revelation, but two tribes are left out: Ephraim is left out and Dan is left out. So there are fourteen tribes.

14.)	So 14 tribes could possibly be in trouble again on July 27th and 28th, which ever day the 9th of Av will fall on going by the new crescent moon. Now today is the 14th of July, the fourth moon; we don’t use the word Tammuz, and it’s the 24th day of the fourth moon.  

15.)	The point is we want you to prepare, buy a little extra food for the 27th and 28th because we are in dangerous times now. And being in dangerous times, we want to appear before our Father today, and go into His Throne Room, and that is the first thing that we are going to do right now.

16.)	Before our hymns we present ourselves to Father before we sing our hymns. We are the only congregation that has the sense to know that. So all please rise, face the North Heaven, past the Pleiades where Father and Yeshua are seated, raise your arms out, raised in prayer, bow your head, and close your eyes.

17.)	“Almighty, most-merciful, loving Father with Yeshua at your right hand side, thank you for all of the Creation, thank you for all of the trouble you have gone to to make a Universe for us, and a little blue planet for us so that we can sustain ourselves with your air, on your land, in your countries in order for us to learn to be more like you and your love.

18.)	“Thank you for providing a physical home for us. Thank you for our very lives. Help us to grow spiritually in grace, which is a limited time to repent in and grow in repentance and in knowledge. 

19.)	“We want you to be with The Obedient Church of God as always, especially the brethren in Pakistan, a very dangerous area, who don’t even have the funds for food. It is very difficult for them now.

20.)	“For the broadcast today, we ask you to inspire the speaking, and the hearing, and especially the hearing on the video tapes, where most people tune into it.

21.)	“Be with the infrastructure and the workers for The Obedient Church of God. Strengthen the workers for The Obedient Church of God. Father, we are doing your work, and this is a challenge without having a proper number of staff of people, so please, please strengthen the people that we do have.

22.)	“So now Father we turn this service over into your hands. We give you all praise and glory to Yeshua ha Mashiach, our soon arriving King and Priest. Amen.”

23.)	Yes indeed, today there will be quite the sermon regarding the sensitive issue of lying about Herbert Armstrong. It’s unfortunate it has to be dealt with so the ministers can wake up, so the ministers will have the common sense that they can move forward, and not have this shame and cover-up lurking in the background.

24.)	What brought this to the fore is that the Sandusky case is in the news and the cover-up of Penn State University, and how that is a blot on the University forever, until now they have owned up to the sexual crimes of Sandusky.

25.)	And with the bitter pill to swallow, we have to own up to it, and the key here is that the ministers have to own up to it. Proverbs 19:9 speaks out against a false witness, and the ministers are giving a false witness regarding the truth of the incidents.

26.)	Just like Penn State has to own up, so does the Worldwide [Church of God], all of the offshoots have to own up. It is important not to be a false witness, and in fact not to be lying with cover-ups. So that’s why we had to do this today and address it to all of the ministers. This sermon will be going out to the ministry of the different leaders of the Churches of God.

27.)	First we’ve got to go and want to appear before God in praise. So all take your beautiful 1934 style hymnal. I’ll hold it up to camera one, camera two, and camera three. These are the words of the original hymns from the 1934, and they are more salient and more direct than the watered-down words in the newer versions of the hymnal. 

28.)	Let’s turn to page 8, “Give Ear to My Prayer O Lord,” and page 108 in other hymnals. I wanted to sing that one because of the sensitive issue that we are discussing today regarding the ministry covering-up and lying. And we prayed that Father bless the service. We are talking about faithfulness and not entering into judgment with God’s servants.

29.)	So this is a plea to God not to enter into judgment with the ministers of the Church of God that are covering up the incest of Herbert Armstrong. “Give Ear to My Prayer O God,” page 8. In thee we do trust with Yeshua at your right side in this sermon we are giving today. We ask the Father to bless the service.

30.)	We’ll be nailing it down today on what the sins of the ministry are by lying and covering up, and that is so important to realize you ministers out there. You don’t want to be lying and covering up; that is part of hypocrisy. It is serious enough in itself and it, obviously, is bearing false witness.

31.)	So now that we are in the Throne Room, this is in praise of Father and Yeshua, “O Lord Thou Art My God and King.” All sing out. It is page 109 in other hymnals.

32.)	Yes, we gladly sing those words, O Lord thou art my God and King. Now turn to page number 49, page 110 in other hymnals, “Lord Teach Me That I May Know” the way that I should go, the servant’s prayer. All sing out. You are singing it to Father.  You are asking, in song, for Him to teach you. So if you are not singing out, you are not asking Him. So why should He answer you and teach you? Sing out. Don’t embarrass yourself here.
33.)	Ah yes. Now we have sung our three hymns, which is our general format. Last week we sang four hymns. Why did we do that? It was because all of the trees were down, all of the power lines were down, all of the Internet connections were down, the fiber optic cables were smashed right through the whole of Southeast United States, all the way to Virginia.

34.)	So when under adversity, you do more, not less, and you try harder; so that’s why last week we sang four hymns, and, of course, we did the broadcast no matter what. 

35.)	We not only have to feed the sheep, but we have to sing our praises to Father, and part of the service, which we just did, was sing our praises because Father wants to know our hearts and how much trouble we would go to [in order] to sing His praises, and not just sing when it is convenient. So we sang an extra hymn last week when we were under all the duress.

 *  *  *
36.)	 Now we ended by singing, “Lord Teach Me That I May Know,” and we are going to try to teach the different ministries of the offshoots of the Worldwide to repent and stop bearing false witness about Herbert W. Armstrong and his life, and stop covering-up. 

37.)	We saw what happened at Penn State, and how serious that was. How bad Penn State looks, and they are even going to be kicked out, probably going to be kicked out of the conference or have to pay a huge fine. So that is important to know. If people in the world have to repent of the same thing, of cover-ups; so are the Churches of God who are supposed to set the example for the world.

38.)	First we have to set the basis for your listening to The Obedient Church of God. We are the laborers with God, and we are teaching people not to turn away from Yah’s Bible. It is so important to realize that wisdom is following God’s Word; stupidity is disobeying God’s Word. 

39.)	Stupidity is disobeying Deuteronomy 12:32 where you are not supposed to add any days to your way of life and to your worship, and that includes Mother-goddess Day in the Spring; Sky Father’s Day, which we just had last month leading up to the longest day of the year, just like Christmas, the shortest day of the year; and also Turkey-god Day, which has been around for 4,000 years. 

40.)	You’ve got 364 other days of the month to have a dinner and celebrate to God, and not on the Harvest Home Festival. Whether you like it or not, it is the Harvest Home Festival. So you have 364 other days to have your dinner to give thanks to God, but not on the Harvest Home Festival, which is Satanic.  

41.)	  Look up in any encyclopedia and you will see that it was the cosmic goose. [In America] all the geese had flown south so they used a turkey that laid the egg that Ra-Osiris was born from, the Egyptian god. That’s how pagan Turkey-god Day is.  Well, we are giving God’s precious truth, so please don’t trample, “don’t trample” God’s truth.

42.)	We want you to have the truth and we want you to be in the Kingdom, and we don’t want you to be blind. We want you to know what the truth is. Since our sermon today is going to be dealing with sexuality, so we don’t want you to be huffing in the sack with Satan and Satan’s days. We don’t want you to be hopping in bed with Satan.

43.)	Christ can only take a virgin bride; Christ will not take a non-virgin bride. It is a disgrace for you to be celebrating Mother-goddess Day, Sky Father’s Day, and Turkey-god Day—these are the best pagan days. 

44.)	It is just like Saul who had the Kingdom taken away from him because he saved the best animals [of the Amalakites when he was told to slay them all]. God took Saul’s crown away from him. Any you are supposed to utterly destroy the days of the heathen, of the Gentile. You are not supposed to adopt them. So don’t trample on it.

45.)	Don’t trample on God’s precious truth. And if you want to trample on it, you can just push off and turn off this broadcast right now and you can push off and that is the end of it. We don’t need any feed back from you. We are going to keep on pronouncing God’s Word, whether you like it or not.

46.)	In fact, we don’t want to be giving God’s precious truth to what the Bible refers to as swine who trample it. 

47.)	Now your white linen robes can be woven together with your righteous acts. We are saved by grace through faith and we do the works because we love God. And it is not that difficult to not celebrate the pagan days unless you are of your Father the Devil and influenced by your Father the Devil, and it is your will to do your Father’s days.

48.)	Now why aren’t you celebrating New Moon Day, which will be coming up possibly Friday.  It will be the 20th day on Friday if the crescent moon is sighted, so it is borderline: we don’t know if it will be sighted, so it could go to Saturday. 

49.)	Why do you not want to celebrate New Moon Day? and instead celebrate Turkey-god Day, Mother-goddess Day, Sky Father’s Day? What’s wrong? Well, you are of your Father the Devil because it is your will to do his will. Satan is going to be thrown into the pit and burned up.

50.)	Yes, Satan will be destroyed: ashes from within, “ashes from within.” I don’t have the scripture for you right now, but I gave you the scripture last week. So it comes down to whether you love God, Deuteronomy 12:32, or you love Satan and his days. It tells you clearly that you can’t add days, Galatians 1:6 and Galatians 1:9. 

51.)	Go to the back of the Book in Revelation. It is very important because this sermon is directed to the ministry, so I might as well emphasize this to the ministry right now that no one will be in the Kingdom that preaches a lie. It says so clearly in Revelation 21:27, “There shall by no means enter into it anything that defiles and causes an abomination or a lie.” Let’s condense it for you. Underline “shall   enter into it anything that …causes a…lie.”

52.)	You ministers out there are saying have Mother’s Day in honor of your mother; it is the day the witches are celebrating, and the warlocks are also celebrating, of the Mother-goddess, the mother of all of the gods is what Mother’s Day is. 

53.)	Sky Father’s Day is for the Sky Father who created the sky. God said He created the firmament when He told Job, and you can read that some other time. Now for the members, members of the offshoots who are practicing Mother –goddess Day, thanking your children for calling you instead of hanging-up on your children, whoever practices a lie, go to Revelation 22:15, and highlight it. “Outside are…whoever…practices a lie.”

54.)	So you want to have these pagan days that were founded in Satanism? You are practicing a lie. And all you ministers out there, telling your members that it is just fine to honor your mother on Mother-goddess Day, you will not be in the Kingdom on the authority of Revelation 21, verse 27. “There shall no means enter into it anything that causes a lie.” 

55.)	 And you are causing a lie among your membership, having them to observe Mother-goddess Day, Sky Father’s Day, Turkey-god Day when they’ve got 364 other days they can give presents to and call their mother, and not use the pagan days that you were supposed  to destroy,  like Saul was supposed to kill all of the animals.

56.)	 So you ministers out there, you will not by no means enter the Kingdom because you are causing a lie. Serious. Serious. Now your righteous clothing is your righteous acts, and you are naked. You don’t have any clothes on. You have no righteous acts.

57.)	 You refuse to follow God’s way; you are “sinisters” because you are all moving God’s Sabbath Day to the sixth-day in half the world. You are not waiting for the sun to set [at the end of the sixth-day]; you are following a phony 1883 Date Line, and you are poisoning the religion of your members. 

58.)	You are adding poison to them because you are causing the members in Australia and New Zealand to work on God’s Sabbath Day. You are adding poison to your member’s lives. You are also poisoning your member’s lives with the Mother-goddess, the Sky Father, and the Turkey-god. 

59.)	Now wake-up ministers, wake-up! In World War, the principalities and you ministers--leaders of the Living Church of God, leaders of the United Church of God-- you are supposed to be generals leading the troops: not leading the troops into the enemy’s [territory], conversing with the enemy, with Satan with his days.

60.)	God’s champions fight; they don’t compromise. God wants champions. God wants champion generals that fight; He does not want wimps who compromise because they are afraid of the membership saying that they are not going to follow every jot and title, because they feel they want to “save the best animals.” 

61.)	You are vessels of God, and remember a little leaven leavens the whole church. So start observing Mother-goddess Day , and the next thing you’ve got is Sky Father’s Day to go along with Mother-goddess Day, and then you’ve got Turkey-god Day in the fall. Well, you are choosing to live as a slave to Satan’s biddings.

62.)	In today’s sermon you are going to have the pressure put on you, you ministers, and you’ve got to perform. You’ve got to try harder, you ministers; you’ve got to do your job; you’ve got to get God’s job done.

63.)	We’re purifying the saints. The saints have to be spotless. You’ve got to get God’s job done.  If you wait for things to get tough, you have to perform. When things get tough, the tough get tough. And the pressure is on you now to straighten out the messes in the various congregations of God as you are leaders of them.

64.)	And don’t you play around with strange- fire of Mother-goddess Day, strange-fire Sky Father’s Day, strange-fire of Turkey-god Day. If you want to go to hell, there’s an open road for you to go to hell by you following those days. God’s judgment will be upon you. I say that on the authority of the Bible. 

65.)	There is only one gate, and it’s a narrow gate, Matthew 7:14, and you have got to choose the narrow gate. The wide gate doesn’t lead into the Kingdom; only the narrow gate. So don’t accuse us of being overly righteous, because unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no way enter into the Kingdom.

66.)	You have got to get rid of the yeast, “you have got to get rid of the yeast,” because it spreads from Mother-goddess Day to Sky Father’s Day to Turkey-god Day, and the next thing you know is that you have got three pagan days that you are worshipping under, and leading your churches to worship under on those particular days.

67.)	Side Bar: Stop your members from hiring people on the Sabbath Day. You cannot hire the Gentiles to work on the Sabbath Day. You should be protesting outside the restaurants telling the Gentiles to come to services and stop working on the Sabbath Day.

68.)	You’re getting the picture. There has to be truth, and except you repent, except you repent Living Church of God, except you repent United Church of God, and Philadelphia Church of God, and Church of God the Eternal, you are all moving the Sabbath Day and the Holy Days two days early and one day late, two days late and one day early, and with the International Date Line, if you have it two days early, the Date Line pushes it a third day early. You will all likewise perish.

69.)	You don’t want the truth; you want to keep the Devil’s errors. We need to worship God in Spirit and truth. You need to look that one up yourself. [John 4:23]

70.)	You need to worship Him in Spirit and truth. You cannot willfully continue to practice these pagan days, or else Hebrews 10:26 kicks in, there’s no more sacrifice for your sins. We have to leave some time for the main message here today. 

71.)	We The Obedient Church of God is the church that is preaching God’s truth, because we are the only congregation that is celebrating the Sabbath Day around the world, 22 hours away from us from Jerusalem to Pakistan. And our Pakistan church waits until the Sabbath Day starts.

72.)	So don’t be married to the Devil, don’t be of your Father the Devil. For all of you “offshoot” ministers, you are supposed to be generals leading your flock through repentance only via God’s days, “only via God’s days.” That is all we are going to say on that matter. 

 *  *  *
73.)	Now regarding our correspondence this week, one of my long time friends in the United Church of God sent and E-mail today and it is interesting. He states that one of the top motivational speakers said, “Kevin Trudeau, we’ve all possibly heard of Kevin Trudeau who has a fix on health and everything else and he is an entrepreneur, has a live call with all of the inner circle members with his company once a month on the New Moon Day.”
74.)	 Now why would a person, who isn’t even involved with the Churches of God,  have a meeting every new moon day? Answer. “That is the day of the month when the universe is the quietest, and the vibrations -- our minds—can be put at rest and can be more effective.”  
75.)	The universe is the quietest and the vibrations that our minds put out can be more effective. That is what Kevin Trudeau is saying and doing with his entrepreneurial  management staff. They are meeting on New Moon Day once every month because they believe the universe is the quietest and the vibrations that our minds put out are more effective on New Moon Day when the universe is the quietest.
 *  *  *
76.)	Another correspondence from Paul Pettyjohn.  He’s got a forward on gun control treaty, and if this passes, there will be civil war. That’s a serious header here, “U. S. reverses stance on treaty to regulate arms trade.” Washington, Reuters News Agency.

77.)	“The United States reversed policy on Wednesday (that was in the first week of July) and said it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales as the talks operated by consensus, a stance critic said, gave every nation a veto.”

78.)	Let me tell you right off the hawk, the first thing that Hitler did, that Adolph Hitler did, was to confiscate all the guns so that he could take over. That’s not in this article, but let’s read what the Washington Reuters has to say.

79.)	“The speaker announced in a statement released by the United States State Department, overturns the position of George W. Bush’s administration which had opposed such a treaty on the grounds that national controls were better.” Well, that’s pretty serious. 

80.)	And it is very serious, because if they impose these controls, it will be like in New Orleans. The police were breaking down people’s doors, even in the nicer districts, breaking down people’s doors of the peaceful people, and taking away the people’s guns and locking up the law-abiding citizens for having guns.

81.)	While in the meantime, there were marauding gangs going through the different areas and looting the houses, but who did the police go after? The peaceful people. 

82.)	Let me tell you a little about the police sometime. They don’t want to go after the gang banger, because the police might get shot. They don’t want to go after them. 

83.)	There was an incident where someone was involved in a shooting.  Anyway he called the police. The police didn’t arrive in force for forty minutes, until they had all of their swat team organized and cordoned off the street, and then they meekly, like little mice, moseyed down slowly in their cruiser car to the house where the shots were fired.

84.)	The police don’t want to risk their own lives. That’s why at Columbine High School the police didn’t arrive and go in for forty minutes. Their job as sheriff is to go in there and fight, and shoot it out, not to be sitting back and hiding behind their barricade. Well, let’s go on. This is from Paul Pettyjohn.

85.)	“On Wednesday Obama took the first major step in a plan to ban all firearms in the United States. The Obama Administration intends to enforce gun control, a complete ban on all weapons for United States citizens.” Now this is Reuters News Agency. This isn’t any schmuck agency. This is Reuters, major news.

86.)	“The Obama Administration intends to enforce gun control, a complete ban on all weapons for all U.S. citizens through the signing of international treaties with foreign  nations. By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama Administration can use the U. S. State Department to bypass the normal legislative process in Congress.

87.)	“Once the U.S. Government signs these international treaties, all U.S. citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. These are laws that have been developed and promoted by organizations such as The United Nations, and individuals such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg.

88.)	“The laws are designed and intended to lead to the complete ban and confiscation of all firearms.”

89.)	Now remember when there were roving bands of thieves going through the neighborhoods in New Orleans and looting, houses and store keepers that brandished guns, the looters fled.

90.)	I’ve seen pictures on T.V. and you could probably go on U-tube and find it in pictures of Katrina, how these Chinese store owners were brandishing guns and mobs didn’t loot their store. 

91.)	Remember, the first thing that Hitler did was take all the guns away from the people.

92.)	Now Mr. Pettyjohn’s article that he forwarded, “Gun control will inflict major damage to our second amendment before U. S. citizens even understand what has happened. Obama can appear before the public and tell them that he does not intend to pursue any legislation in the United States that will lead to new gun control laws while clothed in secrecy his Secretary of State Hilary Clinton is committing to the U.S., committing the U. S. to the international treaty for the gun control laws.”

93.)	“Does that mean Obama is telling the truth? It means that there will be no publicized gun control in the media or votes in Congress. We will wake up one morning and find that the United States has signed a treaty that prohibits fire arms and ammunition manufacturers from selling to the public.

94.)	“We will wake another morning and find that the U. S. has signed a treaty that prohibits any transfer of firearms ownership, and then we will wake up another morning to find that the U. S. has signed a treaty that requires U. S. citizens to deliver any firearm they own to the local gun collection center or face imprisonment.

95.)	The article goes on to say, “This is not a joke or a false warning. As sure as the Government Health Care will forced upon us by the Obama Administration through whatever means necessary, so will gun control.”

96.)	We are being led like a lamb to the slaughter, socialism dictatorship.

97.)	Well, remember the Chinese owners even in stores in Katrina brandished guns and their stores were not looted and robbed. Stores where the owners did not have guns, their stores were looted, robbed, and some were burned to the ground. So that is serious.

98.)	You have every right to defend yourself, and God has laws on that. If the thief breaks into your house at night, you are justified in killing him. If the thief breaks in in the day time, you are to hold him and detain him, but you are not supposed to kill him. But at night time you can. These are good laws because they deter the thieves at night so you can have some peace in your own home.

99.)	Where do you suppose the most break-ins are in the world among the advanced nations today? In England where they have banned citizens from having hand guns. That is the country that has the highest incidents of home invasions, home intrusions because the criminals know they won’t get shot. Therefore, the criminals just invade and take whatever they want, more so than in the United States.

100.)	I don’t have time to get into the statistics, but I wanted to mention that, “I wanted to mention that.” If you have the funds, you should get some type of a gun, such as a 357 magnum that will cost you $540.00. You want a 357 magnum, nothing heavier. You don’t want a 44 magnum because the kick is too hard on it, and it knocks off your second shot by the time you recover from the rise of the barrel of the first shot.

101.)	By the way if you are shooting anything, just so you know, most people make a mistake because there is one eye that is dominant, and that you have to close one eye.

102.)	Bear Note:  when you are slinging rocks at the giant as David did when he killed Goliath, you’ve got to know that one eye is dominant. 

103.)	So what you do is you hold up your thumb in front of you with your arm outstretched, and then you look at your thumb. Then you close one eye and see if your thumb jumps over to one side without moving your thumb.  Then you close the other eye and you’ll see that your thumb doesn’t move over.

104.)	Therefore, on the eye that makes your thumb move over, you close that eye. Now you can finally shoot straight, “now you can finally shoot straight.” Everyone has one eye dominant, so close the eye that moves over the target and you shoot with the other. This is a big tip for you to shoot and hit your target because you don’t want other people approach you within striking distance. You’ve got to shoot them at a distance.

105.)	Don’t worry about shooting them because only 3 % of them die. You have to shoot them about ten times and a hit a vital organ in order to kill them. It’s not like on TV where the person falls down when shot.  

106.)	So that is why you use a 357 magnum so that the impact knocks them and at least gives you a chance to run or to subdue the person, or whip them with a chair or whatever you’ve got handy.

107.)	Now we want you to be safe and we don’t want you to be cannon fodder, we don’t want you to be in the dark about your own safety. 

 *  *  *
108.)	We have told you that the 9th of Av is coming up. Maybe I should get into the 9th of Av right away. Maybe I should do it so I can leave room for the other part where we are going to be discussing the leaders of the Churches covering things up as soon as I go over the 9th of Av.
109.)	The 9th of Av, which this year will be July 27th or July 28th depending on  the moon. The 9th of Av for the Jewish people, not for The Obedient Church of God, for the Jewish people, and it is not commanded in the Bible, is a time of fasting and of mourning.
110.)	The month of Av always falls in the height of the summer, so it is falling in its path July 27th or July 28th. With regard to climate, it was the driest time of year, and thus of sadness and uncertainty until the rains came again.

111.)	Now it is the saddest day in the Jewish calendar, and it is called “Tish B-Av” and over the centuries many tragic events happened, and were traditionally recognized on this date. Now I’m going to list tragic events that happened on the days of av. The ancient rabbinical sages have the 9th day of Av as a preordained day of tragedy, “tragedy.”

112.)	Now let’s get into the history of the 9th of Av. I want you to picture this. The year 1313 B. C., before the Christian Era, the Israelites were out in the desert and recently had experienced miraculous intervention and were now to enter the promised land. 

113.)	First they dispatched a reconnaissance mission to assist in formulating a battle strategy. The “spies” returned on the 9th day of Av and reported that the land was unconquerable. Now that night, and the night started at sundown, but during the 8th day on the daylight portion, they went out, and then that night on the 9th of Av, the people cried. Point 1.

114.)	They said they would rather go back to Egypt than to be slaughtered by the Canaanites. Now God was highly displeased of the public demonstration of distrust in his power. Consequently, that whole generation of Israelites never entered the Holy Land. Only the children entered after wandering in the desert for another 38 years. That happened on the 9th of Av.

115.)	They said they would rather go back to Egypt, they were crying, “crying.”

116.)	Now the first Temple was destroyed. Guess when the first Temple was destroyed. The 9th of Av. In 423 B.C. Point 2.It gets worse.

117.)	When was the second Temple destroyed? The Jews were shocked to realize that their second Temple was destroyed the same day as the first, on the 9th of Av. Point 3. Now is gets worse.

118.)	When the Jewish rebels went up against Roman rule, they believed their leader, Simon Bar Kochba, would fulfill their Messianic longings, but their hopes were dashed in 133 A.D. as the Jewish rebels and the Jewish people were butchered, “butchered.” What was the date of the massacre? The 9th of Av. Point 4.

119.)	Point 5. After one year of conquest after they were butchered, the Romans plowed over the Temple Mount on the 9th av. It gets worse.

120.)	The Jews were expelled from England in 1290 A.D. and the Hebrew day on which any Jew was no longer allowed to remain in the land was on the 9th Av. Point 6.

121.)	In Spain, Point 7., no Jew was allowed to remain in Spain in 1492. When? On the 9th of Av.

122.)	One more, Point 8. Guess when the First World War started on the Hebrew calendar? The 9th of Av.

123.)	So the 9th Av is coming up on July 27th or 28th depending on the sighting of the new moon, and I want you to buy food and be prepared because anything can happen at any time, and it is better to be prepared.

124.)	There is a big issue that if disaster strikes, you are going to have to have gas to move around in, so you better buy a stockpile of gas at least 50 gallons in ten containers. And you better have oil for your lamps. It is better to be prepared.

125.)	Remember, I was prepared to do the broadcast. And now today we’re sitting here and everything is prepared in case there is another storm or power outage from the solar storm that is hitting the earth today. There is a big solar flare hitting here today  and for the next two days.

126.)	So we’re prepared. I have the gas generators ready and we have a supply of gas and oil and diesel fuel and also kerosene, and also food and also milk and cat food. My pussy cat Abbigayle is missing, so we would like to pray for the safety and return of Abbigayle. She was my friend and the coyotes may have gotten her on the hill.

127.)	She had escaped from some large animal because she had bite marks on her leg that we had to treat, and they healed up perfectly with the silver I put on it, colloidal silver and that was 5,700 strength. Her leg has healed marvelously, but now she has not returned.

128.)	Now the Jews, the Jewish people have a tradition on the 9th of Av and it is the two weeks between the 17th of Tammuz, the same as the fourth month, from the 17th to the 27th, 28th this month, the Orthodox Jews observe mourning for the destruction of the Holy Temple.

129.)	For those who want to know what the Orthodox Jews do, 1.) Weddings should not be performed during this period; 2.) Engagements may only take place with a meal until the first of Av; and from the 1st until the 9th they take place with refreshments only. 

130.)	3.) Dancing and playing and listening to music is prohibited. A musician who earns his living for non-Jews may do so only until the 1st of Av. 4.) The custom is to refrain from reciting the blessing sh’hecheynu on new garlands of fruit except on Shabbat.

131.)	Pregnant women and ill people who need the fruit may eat it normally. 5.) New garments don’t require this blessing, and they may be purchased and worn until the 1st of Av. This gives you an insight of the Orthodox Jews, how far they’ve gone in their own customs.  

132.)	I’ve got another one for you here. 6.) The custom is to refrain from taking a haircut, including the beards and adults may not give a haircut to a child. Now these do not apply to The Obedient Church of God. What it does apply to, the Orthodox Jews have gone too far.

133.)	7.) Trimming the mustache is permitted only if it interferes with eating. Normally, brushing the hair is permitted. 8.)  A person who shaves daily in a permitted manner, and would suffer business or financial loss by not shaving, may do so until the 1st of Av or  until the Friday before the 9th of Av.

134.)	In any case, they’ve got very strict laws. 9.) A married woman may remove hair that protrudes from her hair covering, and facial or body hair that may be unattractive to her husband. 

135.)	10.) Getting the news before Friday before the 9th of Av, even then it is permitted for a woman before immersion, or for a man as well in honor of the Sabbath. For example, if the 9th of Av is on a Sabbath, they can go to Sunday if it is on Sunday itself. By the way there aren’t any postponements. These Orthodox Jews put them in.

136.)	This is a little insight into the life of Orthodox Jews on these days running up to the 9th of Av: July 27th or 28th. These are according to the Ashkenazi custom.

137.)	11.) One may not purchase an object of joy that will be available until after the 9th of Av for the same price. An object not required for dwelling should be suspended. Decorations for the home are not allowed. Similarly, one should not plan for pleasure. 

138.)	12.)The custom is to refrain from eating meat or poultry or drinking wine or grape juice during the nine days. That must be because they are trying to be sad. There is more to report here, but you get the picture.

139.)	In the Orthodox Jewish community, it is really, “really” a serious matter of mourning. 13.) You are forbidden to wear freshly laundered clothes during the nine days, from the 17th to the 27th you are not to have freshly laundered clothes. Guess what you have to do? You have to wear your clothes for an hour before the nine days start and then put your clothing away; and then only wear previously worn clothing, except you may wear fresh clothes on the Sabbath. 14.) Even swimming is prohibited.

                                                              *  *  *
140.)	 We’ve got to get into the main message here regarding the unfortunate lying of the Churches of God, and teach all the ministers here today, the top officials; we have to teach them to stop lying and stop covering-up. 

141.)	As you know in the news this week [Jerry] Sandusky who was molesting children and Joe Paterno was covering it up and Paterno was the head sports director of the University.

142.)	Now the whole university has to apologize because they covered it up. Now they are blameworthy, and so are all of the offshoots of the Worldwide Churches of God. They are blameworthy because Proverbs 19:9 says you are not to bear false witness.

143.)	In plain English all of these offshoot Churches are all lying; they are all saying that Herbert W. Armstrong did not commit incest with Dorothy. Today we are going to prove that he did commit incest with Dorothy via the actual facts; and we are going to stop the ministers from covering-up. 

144.)	 Anything that come between you and God has to be disclosed. And you have to bring your life into conformity with the Word of God. You ministers out there, this addressed to you; you can’t have stubbornness and you can’t have disobedience whereby you will be a false witness, because that is like witchcraft and sheer rebellion.

145.)	You have to bring your life into accordance with the Bible, in accordance with Proverbs 19:9 and to stop bearing false witness. So the unction that is within you is to look at the facts, “look at the facts.” Don’t pretend you are innocent. 

146.)	Don’t pretend that Herbert W. Armstrong was innocent. Be not willfully ignorant, or you could lose your salvation. Why should you die by your breaking the Bible’s words by your being a false witness and indeed a liar, lying about Herbert W. Armstrong’s incest when, in fact, the facts prove it?

147.)	Now you have been in the dark for so long that the light is going to hurt your eyes. We can’t help that. We can’t help it that the light is going to hurt your eyes. But we want you to be in the Kingdom of God. And you can only be in the Kingdom of God, by repenting.  You have got to repent, and to repent means that you stop being a false witness and stop lying: lying that Herbert Armstrong did not commit incest with Dorothy.

148.)	Bear Note: God our Father allows problems to see who His faithful people are. 

149.)	Bear Note: God put giants in the land to expose the faithless Israelites. God put a giant problem, excuse the pun, in the land to show who was faithful and who wasn’t faithful. Joshua and Caleb were faithful; the others weren’t.

150.)	So God allowed this giant problem with Herbert W. Armstrong and his incest to show who was faithful to God’s Word, and not to be a liar, and who will indeed repent, and who would not indeed be a hypocrite with a continuing cover-up.

151.)	You know that no liar shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven. You know that. So let’s read Proverbs 19:9, for starters. A false witness and that applies to all of you offshoot ministers of the Churches of God, “A false witness will not, ‘not’ go unpunished, and he  who breathes out lies will perish.”

152.)	Proverbs 19:9, “A false witness… will perish.” Revelation 21:8, “But the cowardly…all liars will be in the lake of fire.”

153.)	John 8:44, “…for when he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar, and the father of lies.”

154.)	Now let’s really nail it here. Proverbs 14:5, “A faithful witness does not lie: but a false witness breathes out lies.” Proverbs 13:5, “The righteous man hates falsehood…” 

155.)	The key here is, “You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a malicious witness.” You shall not spread a false report; you shall join hands with a wicked man and a malicious witness. 

156.)	So if you are saying that Herbert Armstrong did not commit incest with Dorothy, and you are following him [the liar], the Bible tells you not to. “You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a malicious witness, you shall not bear a false report.” Indeed, you shall not be a false witness.

157.)	Now we are going to take the time to go over the facts and get you to put away all deceit and hypocrisy that is prevalent in all of the offshoots of the Churches of God who do not, “who do not” follow the Bible because they are false witnesses.

158.)	So right now tune in to The Obedient Church of God is going to clean up the mess; cleanse the House of the Lord, the same way that Penn State had to clean their house. “Cleansing the House of the Lord”—I started doing this in 2008 with a sermon that said, Cleansing the House of the Lord, and we are going to continue to cleanse it.

159.)	So today right now we are going to expose the Church of God cover-up just like the institutional conspiracy that it is. As a minister you do not cover-up sin. I Peter 2:16, “Do not use freedom as a cover-up for evil.”

160.)	Proverbs 28:13, “Don’t conceal sin.” Nehemiah 4:5, “Do not cover-up their guilt.” I John 1:8, “…ceasing to  deceive ourselves…” We must cease to deceive ourselves.

161.)	There are a whole bunch more scriptures on unconfessed sin and unrepentant sin, we’ll put them in the bottom of the pile for later, see if we have time for that.

162.)	Here’s the point. Lack of institutional control in all of the Churches of God has resulted in a situation the same as Penn State, the same as the University has to now backtrack and clean up their act, and they have got to report it. They have got to report of [Jerry] Sandusky’s doings, and Joe Paterno’s covering it up. He was the leader of the athletics department.
They are going to admit the truth. They have got to admit the truth. They’ve got to repent.

163.)	It should not be forgotten, to teach you to be honest, and the good of this that is going to come out of this, is that there will be adequate standards and there will be honesty in all of the Churches of God, and not a cover-up that makes you look like fools by the people in the world

164.)	People in the world will make you look like fools for covering it up. And it is not to belittle your faith or to insult you, and there isn’t any axe to grind; it’s meant to get some answers. And it is to stop making excuses for Herbert Armstrong, and be aware of what was taking place.

165.)	And not for you to be a lying witness in a massive cover-up, “a massive cover-up.” And not for you to be complicit, “complicit” in the cover-up of the sexual abuse of Dorothy. We have the facts to prove it. And good will come out of this because we will “now” have an honest Church of God.

166.)	Let me tell you denial is not just a river in Egypt [the Nile]. We’ll lighten up here. I don’t like to get too serious. But “denial” is not just a river in Egypt. So a play on words and not the Nile but denial.  Let’s get into it, it's going to be a tough one.

167.)	Here’s actual proof of Herbert W. Armstrong’s incest with Dorothy. And all of you ministers have got to repent from covering it up. This proof is from Israel Heglund and John Keiss. They knew Armstrong in the 20s and 30s. Keiss was Armstrong’s closest friend in the Church of God Seventh-day. 

168.)	I.) They [John Keiss and Herbert Armstrong] actually discussed the incest with Dorothy. We have a witness; there are two witnesses: Israel Heglund and John Keiss had known the Armstrongs in the 20’s and 30’s. They knew about this. Keiss was Armstrong’s closest friend in the Church of God Seventh-day, and actually discussed incest with Dorothy.   

169.)	II.)John Keiss had  actually discussed incest with Dorothy Armstrong, and  Herbert actually discussed incest with Dorothy Armstrong.

170.)	III.) Dorothy confessed to Keiss. 

171.)	IV.) David Robinson wrote a book. He confronted Herbert about the incest before Stanley Rader, and Henry Cornwall, another Church attorney.  Herbert has always said, “Sometimes I wasn’t as close to God as I should have been.”

172.)	V.) Garner Ted Armstrong accused Herbert of incest, of raping Dorothy. A big point is that Herbert never denied it, never ever denied it.

173.)	VI.) Now David Robinson had also talked with Dorothy and she confessed everything to him.

174.)	VII.) There was a man at Headquarters, a Headquarters’ minister, Ledru Woodburry, and he heard about the incest of Dorothy at first hand, and he was angered.

175.)	VIII.) Here is a key when this went to court when Herbert divorced Ramona. During the trial Herbert was cross-examined about the incest, and Armstrong was backed into a corner by the attorney. And Armstrong stated, and this is on the court record, get the court document, his answer when confronted by a cross-examine question, did you fornicate with your daughter? Armstrong stated, “There have been many times in my life when I have not been very close to God.”   

176.)	IX.) Again Herbert never denied it that he had sex for ten years with his daughter. It was a ten year period. It wasn’t just one incident.

177.)	By the way, people like Rod Meredith, the head of the Living Church of God, knew the truth, and that means that Rod Meredith is a false witness, because writers for and around Rod Meredith had put out the first report that the evidence did not support the charge of incest, when the evidence did support the charge of incest on two or three witness accounts.

178.)	We have a big problem here with the Living Church of God for they are suppressing the truth. And we read the scriptures about being a proper witness, and not to be lying and covering –up, and not to be a false witness, Proverbs 19:9.

179.)	Stop being a false witness Living Church of God; stop being a false witness Jon Brisby, The Church of God the Eternal, or you will end up in the Lake of Fire. 

180.)	I’ve given you those VIII-IX points. Shall I go over them again? I.) Witnesses were  Israel Heglund and John Keiss; II.) Then we had it being discussed with Keiss, Mr. Armstrong’s closest friend; and then III.) Keiss had actually discussed it with Dorothy, and Dorothy confessed it to Keiss; IV.) David Robinson confronted Herbert before Stanley Rader and Henry Cornwall; and V.) They testified that Garner Ted had called him very distraught. The words that he screamed were, “Dad you ____my sister,” and that was testified to.

181.)	 There was a time when Herbert Armstrong disfellowshipped Garner Ted. 

182.)	And then, VI.) We have Robinson that talked directly to Dorothy and she confessed everything to David Robinson; witnesses, witnesses. And, VII.) We have Ledru Woodbury learned first hand about Dorothy’s incest and was angry. 

183.)	VIII.) The catch all for Herbert was when he was backed into a corner in court, and Herbert Armstrong did not deny the incest with Dorothy.

184.)	Let’s move on here in terms of the Churches of God trying to say it is untrue. I.) The Armstrongs and the Church attempted to use the court to block the distribution of the Robinson’s book that actually outlined the incest. The book is titled, “The Tangled Web.”

185.)	There are still some copies around. You might get one on Amazon, but they are high-priced. For my copy I had to pay $135.00 for it; that is a high price for a $7.00 book.

186.)	A new point of proof. I have to be very particular of every word I use here, so it can’t be torn apart. So the Armstrong organization of the Worldwide Church of God attempted to use the Courts to block the distribution of David Robinson’s book, but failed miserably. They couldn’t block it because it was true. They couldn’t stop the distribution.  

187.)	 II.)  Never once did Mr. Armstrong say that the allegation was “un”true, nor did Dorothy say the allegation was untrue. And indeed, III.) When Dorothy was married and Mattson is her married name, she never came forth to deny the incest story. 

188.)	IV.) In 1971 Garner Ted paid a visit to his younger sister Dorothy, and she related every shocking detail of the ten years with candor. And for a number of years Garner Ted kept the information to himself, but Dorothy did not. 

189.)	V.) Dorothy divulged the same information to others, including David Antion.
No one was helping Dorothy; they just buried it the same way that Joe Paterno did with Sandusky raping the boys. 

190.)	VI.) Dorothy told her friends; Dorothy related to friends that on one occasion in a hotel room she was so strongly protesting Herbert that the manager of the hotel knocked on the door and asked the reason for all the noise was, “the reason for all the noise was.”
 
191.)	And what was Herbert doing in a hotel room with his younger daughter? It started when she was 14; and what was he doing with Dorothy up until she was age 24?  Dorothy was probably in her twenties by now. The manager of the hotel asked what the reason was for all the yelling and screaming. 

192.)	VII.) Herbert stated, the exact quote is, Herbert was quick to inform the motel manager, “His young bride was a bit uncooperative due to inexperience.” Unbelievable! Calling his young daughter his bride. Satisfied with the alibi, the manager left. 

193.)	Dorothy claimed that Herbert overpowered her, and after tying her to the bed, and gagging her, proceeded to rape her. And Dorothy told all her friends this, “all her friends.” This isn’t hearsay. Dorothy told all of her friends.

194.)	You can count on it in courts of law, if you want to get into legal terms, Herbert still lost the case. Even if we could try to square away all of the hearsay, Herbert still lost the case and couldn’t stop the court. That’s was the court’s decision.

195.)	VIII.) Herbert used to take Dorothy out dancing on Friday nights. That’s right. On Sabbath night Herbert would take Dorothy out dancing. Herbert was asked by one of the associates , aren’t you worried that a church member might see you? And Herbert said no, because the church members wouldn’t be out dancing on Friday night. Why do Herbert and Dorothy go dancing on Friday night?

196.)	IX.) There was a heated argument between Garner Ted and Herbert, and Herbert said he was going to destroy Ted by making public certain information about his personal life. 

197.)	I even know one of the girls that Garner Ted had raped. She was a beautiful blond tall girl, robust, happy, and cheerful. At a party she would be sitting on the kitchen counter, being the center of attention. 

198.)	But when she came back from Ambassador College, she was withdrawn, put on a whole bunch of weight so she wouldn’t be attractive, and she would stay to herself, and she was sullen, because Garner Ted had raped her. Like father, like son. The acorn doesn’t fall too far from the tree. 

199.)	Well, when Herbert was confronted by Garner Ted, same as the last time when in the court room Herbert was confronted, and again Herbert said when being confronted by Garner Ted, he said, “There have been times in my life when I have gotten far away from God.”

200.)	X.) Now this conversation was overheard by Benny Sharp. There are witnesses all over the place, so stop this lying and cover-up and calling it hearsay. The conversation between Herbert and Garner Ted was heard by Benny Sharp. It was where Garner Ted said, “You_____my sister.”

201.)	XI.) Now Herbert Armstrong told David Antion that Ted was messing around. Ted was simply fantasizing the younger woman as being his own daughter. How could Herbert have said that unless he was playing it out in his own mind, father like son.

202.)	 So Herbert’s words to David Antion were that Ted was simply fantasizing the younger woman as being his own daughter. The sins didn’t make sense to Antion twelve years later.     

203.)	XII.) Henry Cornwall, the age of Herbert Armstrong, read the Robinson’s book and asked Herbert exactly the question, “Was the incest correct?” Henry Cornwall in 1980 asked Herbert, “Was this incest accurate?” Herbert Armstrong told Henry Cornwall the charges were accurate. Herbert W. Armstrong told him it was.

204.)	XIII.)  He then instructed Cornwall that his wife Ramona was not to see the book or to hear the story. Well, Ramona was listening to the conversation in the next room between Cornwall and Herbert. There is another witness for you, Ramona. 

205.)	XIV.) And directly Ramona confronted Herbert about the incident, and Herbert admitted it was true to Ramona. Evidence is piling up here again.

206.)	XV.) In the end of her life during the last year, Loma was not on speaking terms with Dorothy. She appears to have lost her will to live. She died in 1967.

207.)	XVI.) There was a typed statement intended for Dorothy’s signature; it stated that Dorothy never had sexual relations with her father. It remained unsigned to this day. Dorothy never signed the statement. And she never would have because it goes in a house that Dorothy sold to the church, and the support that she got for her whole life.

208.)	XVII.) Dorothy stated that Herbert told her that after she was married she need not put an end to their own special relationship. This is bad folks. 

209.)	XVIII.) Dorothy told lots of her friends that Herbert told her that her marriage need not put an end to their own special relationship. 

210.)	XIX.) Ramona’s lawyer [spoke] regarding Dorothy’s house being sold to the Worldwide Church of God… Why in the world would the Worldwide Church of God want Dorothy’s house? To shut her up, that’s why, “that’s why.”

211.)	XX.) Yet she sold it to the Church. 

212.)	Herbert W. Armstrong had a cross-examination he refused to answer if he sold her house to the Church. Okay, so the lawyer, Mr. Deckster, cross-examined Mr. Armstrong.  He said, where did you provide her with living accommodations? 

213.)	XXI.) Mr. Armstrong answered: “I provided her with living accommodations ever since on and off ever since…now wait a minute, let’s see, I don’t know. I began back in the 1950s ever since Vern Mattson resigned from being business manager of the Church. 

214.)	XXII.) It is in the court records proving that Mr. Armstrong provided accommodations for Dorothy for the rest of her life.

215.)	Now before leaving the subject, the lawyer under cross-examination of Herbert, asked, “Do you suffer from any other diseases or chronic problems from what we have discussed?” Herbert answered, “Not that I know of. I’ve had difficulty sleeping from the last, oh, let me see, since 1933.” That was the year that Herbert W. Armstrong began abusing his own daughter. Is it any wonder he hasn’t slept well.

216.)	That was presented from the Ambassador Report #27 if you want to look it up for yourself.

217.)	The problem is that it is bad enough for Herbert W. Armstrong’s sin, but the problem is the Churches of God’s sin. A bunch of hypocrites, “hypocrites” who are not owning up to the truth, and who are being liars and false witnesses.

218.)	Go back to the Old Testament and you’ve got to acknowledge the sins. Leviticus 5:5 says, “…you shall confess that which you have sinned.” Verse 7, “he shall confess his sin and make restitution,”

219.)	Proverbs 28:13, “He who confesses and forsakes his transgressions shall find compassion…” ]

220.)	So all you ministers out there who have been guilty of lying and being false witnesses, look at these scriptures and read them: Acts 19:18, “And they kept coming and confessing, and disclosing their practices.”

221.)	James 5:16, “Confess your sins to one another…” There are more verses. You can look up I John 1:9, “If we confess our sin, He is faithful…to forgive us..”

222.)	This is for the ministers for all the Churches of God, you have got to confess your sin that you have been lying and covering-up, the same way Joe Paterno covered up, and you can’t go against the first ten points that I gave, and the second XXI-XXII points that I gave, which add up to over thirty points.

223.)	Remember the Worldwide Church of God lost the court case trying to stop the book, and Herbert Armstrong never denied it. Any of you who are accused of incest with your daughter, of course you would deny it and be successful. But not Herbert W. Armstrong, because if was true.

224.)	Bear Note: I John 1:8, “Ceasing to deceive ourselves,” ‘ceasing to deceive ourselves,’

225.)	All of this doesn’t mean that Herbert W. Armstrong wasn’t led by God. He was used by God.

226.)	David was used by God. David fornicated, committed adultery with Bathsheba, and David committed murder. But your sin is covering it up. God did not cover-up David’s sin. God printed David’s sin in the Bible.

227.)	So don’t think upon our true Church, The Obedient Church of God, who is trying to clean up this mess and set the record straight once and for all, and get all of you ministers to repent and stop lying about it. Stop bearing false witness all you  ministers; you are a blemish on all of the Churches of God.

228.)	Cease to continue to use the defense mechanism of denial, of lying, confess your defense mechanisms of lying. You know lying is contrary to the character of God, and bearing false witness is contrary to the character of God.

229.)	Twisting the facts by trying to say that Herbert Armstrong did not commit incest with Dorothy, is lying and twisting the facts.

230.)	So you want to be in the Kingdom, you have got to repent all of you ministers. Repent, for it is time for soul evaluation of all the ministers of all of the Churches of God, because this is a stain on the Churches of God.

231.)	 And people outside of the Church, anyone with a little common sense can see the facts that Herbert Armstrong committed incest with Dorothy. The facts prove it. And if you are going to deny it; that means that you are a liar. 

232.)	Well, Gentiles, people on the outside, can judge righteous judgment; and you can’t, and you cover it up by lying. You know what Revelation says that no liar will be in the Kingdom of Heaven.

233.)	 So this is directed to all the ministers: you better examine yourselves, and this is coming from The Obedient Church of God who has every right to tell you that because God has shown, published the account of David’s adultery in the Bible for all to see. God did not cover it up. And you should not be covering it up. 

234.)	You are a blemish, you are a stain on all of the Churches of God, all of you head ministers who are covering it up the truth. And in order to be faithful, you have always got to stand up for God’s way. That’s why we are called The Obedient Church of God .
And we are faithful. 

235.)	You can look that up. Philippians 1:6 and Hebrews 1:5. That’s very important for you to know.
236.)	  You ministers are now jeopardizing your own salvation by being false witnesses, “by being false witnesses.”

237.)	Now I want to end on a positive note here: that you just like Penn State University are willing to acknowledge your sin of the organization, the cover-up of the organization, and you are going to go on.

238.)	 You are going to put all ministers on notice that you will not be allowed, “you will not be allowed” to deceive and bear false witness any more. You will not.

239.)	This message is going out to a lot of the members of your churches that are on our mailing list. They are going to hear this.

240.)	 And if you deny this a lot of you offshoot Churches of God ministers, such as Rod Meredith who knew of this first hand and Jon Brisby of the Church of God the Eternal, you are going to show your members that you are a liar and a false witness.

241.)	The Obedient Church of God is going to set the record straight by sending this out to your members. And then it will be up to you to admit it, and no longer withhold the truth, because the truth will set you free.

242.)	 Truth will set you free of this terrible debacle of the chicanery of cover-up and denial that are affecting all the members of the Churches of God by making them complicit by your being a false witness; and teaching your members to be false witnesses, instead of owning up to it like Penn State University had to own up to it.

243.)	 So at least, you can be more righteous than the Gentiles, and let the truth march on. We just have time to close with a song on the positive, “Truth is marching on,”
Sung by Elvis Pressley. 

244.)	We cannot let people outside the Church know what a man of God looks like: honest, has integrity, and is not a lying hypocrite for covering up the truth, falsifying the truth, and indeed, bearing false witness. This message is going out to all the ex-members of the Worldwide Church that we can find to put pressure on the ministry to admit it just like Penn State University.

245.)	And His truth will march, and we’ll finally get over all the lies and dispersion that have been cast about by the ministry.

246.)	Now we want to have our closing hymn for today. So all please rise, and sing, “Praise Ye the Lord.” So turn to page number 66 and 112 in other hymnals. This song goes right along with Glory, Glory, Hallelujah His Truth is Marching On. Now we can praise ye the Lord in truth and in righteousness. No more lying. No more bearing false witness.

247.)	Now for closing prayer, please bow your heads, close your eyes, and raise your arms. “Almighty, most-merciful, loving Father, you put your words in the Bible so we could be learning your ways and not be lying and covering it up. Father did not lie or cover-up David’s sins. You published it.

248.)	“You Father are setting the example  of how to behave in the ministry for you are the head minister.

249.)	“As we send out this broadcast help all of the Worldwide Churches of God to stop being false witnesses; stop them from bearing false witness, and stop them from lying, not only for their own salvation, but for the salvation for the brethren that are complicit in the lies and the bearing of false witness. So help them we ask.

250.)	 “And now Father we ask you to protect The Obedient Church of God through this next week, protect us from the inspectors, and all that they expect us to do.

251.)	“Help the pussy cat to return if she is still alive, and the coyotes haven’t eaten the poor little darling. Her name, as you know , is Abbigayle.

252.)	“Help this broadcast to help brethren to realize that they must stop bearing false witness, and therefore, we can all come closer to you. And now we ask your dismissal. We ask it all in Yeshua’s holy, righteous name. Amen.”
