Triumph Prophetic Ministries (Church of God)

William F. Dankenbring liked to write, so he started Triumph Prophetic Ministries

William F. Dankenbring, a writer for the Worldwide Church of God's (WCG's) Plain Truth (PT) and Good News (GN) magazines, started Triumph Publishing Company in 1974. In 1987, the year after Herbert W. Armstrong's (HWA's) death, William Dankenbring started Triumph Prophetic Ministries (TPM). TPM has a magazine called Prophecy Flash and a Web site at http://www.Triumphpro.com.

Notes:

1. Dankenbring exposes the prophetic and moral errors of the Armstrongs

   William F. Dankenbring supports some of the teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong (HWA), but changes others, and tells the details of Herbert W. Armstrong's (HWA's), and Garner Ted Armstrong's (GTA's), false prophecies and immoral conduct. Below are the links to a couple articles at his new Web site.

2. Dankenbring exposes the fibbing of Joseph Tkach, Sr.

   William F. Dankenbring has also written an article exposing Joseph W. Tkach, Sr. (JWT, Sr.). Check out the following article:

   The PLAIN TRUTH about JOSEPH W. TKACH--APOSTLE? Or APOSTATE?
   Available at http://hope-of-israel.org/jwtapost.htm.

3. Dankenbring's doctrinal changes begin

   William F. Dankenbring believes that the Israelites ignored Moses' instruction to stay in their houses all night and that the Passover was on the fifteenth day of the first month, rather than on the fourteenth as taught by Herbert W. Armstrong (HWA).

   Eventually, William Dankenbring decided to reject the calendar postponements that HWA believed in.

   William Dankenbring now seems to think that the Feast of Trumpets, which the Bible says is on the first day of the seventh month, should be observed for two days.

   It is very common for people who were taught by Herbert W. Armstrong and his Worldwide Church of God (WCG) to begin to change what they were taught, to eventually reject much of what they were taught, and to end up crazier than ever.

4. John Keyser goes nuts

   John D. Keyser, one of William F. Dankenbring's associates for the past ten years, has gone even further than Dankenbring, breaking away from Triumph Prophetic Ministries (TPM) to start his own splinter group called Hope of Israel Ministries, with a Web site at http://hope-of-israel.org (West Coast), and at http://hope-of-isreal.net (East Coast).

   Rejecting the biblical account in the book of Genesis, John Keyser started to teach that the week has a pagan origin, and that the weekly Sabbath actually changes each month depending on the new moon and can end up falling on any day of the week. Workers who fall for this idea will have an interesting time trying to explain it to their bosses. Even their own wives--assuming they could find anyone who would marry them--will probably wonder about them. Such a person's boss might come to realize in time that he made a big mistake to hire such an idiot. Such a person's wife might come to realize in time that she made an even bigger mistake to marry such an idiot. And, hopefully, any such idiot will come to realize in time that he made the biggest mistake of all when he started off by rejecting what the Bible says. Those who reject what the Bible says can end up falling for any one of a zillion other ideas.

   Don't expect all of John D. Keyser's reasoning to be logical and right. On second thought, don't expect ANY of it to be logical and right. Do expect to hear some strange theories.

5. Prophecy Trash and other Garbage

   Even after writing an article called The Incredible Prophetic Errors of Herbert W. Armstrong, it looks like William F. Dankenbring has not learned anything at all from it. Don't expect all of William Dankenbring's own prophetic guesses to work out. On second thought, don't expect ANY of them to EVER work out. There is a reason why some people call Bill Dankenbring's own Prophecy Flash magazine by the more accurate name Prophecy Trash. It takes a certain special type of person (known as a "false prophet") to get everything wrong all the time.

   Later, William F. Dankenbring, the prophecy trash man, started claiming to be an Apostle, making himself yet another certain special type of person (known as a "false Apostle").

   Understand that some links are given as examples of what is out there. It is certainly not intended that anyone should take such people too seriously. Hopefully, nobody will take them seriously at all, or be stupid enough to fall for everything that they come up with.
