I joined the PCg in Dec.1995 and withdrew in Sept.2000. I left the PCg because I could not buy the LIE that Flurry was "that Prophet" mentioned in John 1:21. There are too many Scriptures that PROVE that none other than JESUS CHRIST is THAT PROPHET. (John 6:14, John 7:40, Acts 3:22-26 just to name a few) I called our local minister and told him in no uncertain terms that we (my wife and I) were withdrawing from the PCg. The very next Sabbath it was announced that we were "suspended". That was a bald face lie. Besides claiming to be "that Prophet" Flurry claims at least 16 titles. Also he said that they must...."magnify my office--which is really God's office." He is a blasphemer and a LIAR.

Gerald R. Flurry, the founder and leader of the Philadelphia Church of God (PCG), in his book called Malachi's Message, which he now insists is the "little book" mentioned in Revelation 10:2-4, tried to make it sound like it was Joseph W. Tkach, Sr. who "...exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God" (II Thessalonians 2:1-4, KJV). Gerald often seems to accuse others of the sort of behavior that he himself is guilty of. If there is any "man of sin" among the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) and its splinter groups, Gerald might be the man.

Thanks for having a web site that tells it like it is in regards to other sites such as "the painful truth". It is evident that when people leave the truth they can't say enough bad about it.

Some of the letters and articles posted at The Painful Truth Web site are from people who whine about the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) not allowing them to observe Halloween in the past. Others now express shock at some of the stories in the Bible, and say they never knew about them. Apparently, they went to the WCG but never even read the Bible. Some writers brag about smoking, getting drunk, fornicating, undressing the little neighbor girl, being homosexual, etc. Sometimes they seem to be worse than the people they criticize.

Gerald Flurry and PCG

This is a bad organization. My daughter's MIL is in PCG and has cut off contacting 2 of her 3 children because they had been baptized into WCG though not attending anymore. The one that is not shunned told her mom not to drink the Kool Ade. They all know that momma is going to flee when the great profit--intentional spelling--Flurry says it is time.

This cult is mind controlling. I can think of no other reason for an otherwise sane woman to do such a hideous thing.

I have 3 questions for any in PCG who have read this (and they have to be out there.)

1. Who created and ordained the family?
2. Who is trying to destroy it?
3. Who are you following?

HINT: the answer to 1 and 2 are not the same.......

Gerald R. Flurry, the founder and leader of the Philadelphia Church of God (PCG), is systematically, step by step, cutting off any connection his PCG followers may have with any source of sanity. In installments, Gerald has forbidden them to read any literature that he does not approve of, forbidden them to go on the Internet, and now forbidden them to associate with any friends, or even family members, who were baptized in the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) but did not join his PCG cult.
