What has happened to Gerald Flurry??
Herbert W. Armstrong went down the same
road he is going. Treasures! It's on the Internet for all the world to
read and with proof to back it up. How can he walk away from the truth
when he printed some of it?
Gerald Flurry is a self-appointed "Prophet" who
has been spending hard earned and faithfully-given (no matter how
misguided) offerings and resources on expensive trinkets for his ego. And
what is it in the evidently mindless and uncritically thinking followers
that allows such abuse? Is it that he has managed to fine filter out of
WCG that base element of people who just don't care how Flurry uses their
resources once given and this creates a jackpot for Flurry? Are these the
personality types that simply can see no further and speak up no louder
than to say "ok" to the imperative to Pray-Obey-Pay and Stay? Do they ever
get challenged BEFORE they bring the house down on the faithful?
Apparently not.
Guess whose bottomless wallet has been making an appearance in Pasadena?
Flurry has been buying up big at the Moran auction
of Herbert Armstrong goodies. Here's what various items pulled
in--including a 100K+ spree. Note: all prices quoted below have an
additional 15% auction fee added on to selling price plus any additional
shipping.
Steinway 9' Concert Grand 1971 $52,500.00 bought by Gerald Flurry.
Auditorium Lobby Baccarat Candelabra (2) $55,000.00 bought by Gerald
Flurry.
What in GOD's world did Flurry have on his mind when he spent all of that
amount of "God's tithes" on junk, plus he didn't say anything about
the 15% auction fee: $16125.00 and shipping. Will he ever let the
tithers know?
I think it's time for Flurry to go to his prayer closet and pray about the
road he is going down. A lot of people could use the tithe money that is
given to "GOD" and, instead, Flurry is blowing it for earthly things.
Those in PCG (Philadelphia Church of God)
could use it for their children or grandchildren or starving children. How
much of "GOD's tithes" did he spend on himself and the gang that's afraid
to buck him? He says they didn't say a word when he asked how much should
we bid. How much did it cost to eat in the GOLDEN restaurant? And how
about the hotel? Why doesn't he tell us what the whole trip is going to
cost? Soon more are going to wake up and leave. Flurry doesn't need to try
the few Bible verses he likes to use. They don't fit God's Word. If he
thinks the end is near, why is he building all this earthly stuff and
blowing "God's tithes" in the wind? Why doesn't he furnish the
members the TOTAL COST and no beating around the bush! I come up with $123,000.00 +
shipping + hotel + travel expense, eats and drinks. Is that out of "God's
tithes," too?? Plus, add the table and freight from over across the water.
Look at Matthew 6: 19-21 (TREASURES):
"Lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures
in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves
do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will
your heart be also."
Matthew 7: 15-20:
"Beware of false prophets,
which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening
wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good
fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot
bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good
fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
Flurry also made a deal with "Laodiceans" (WCG) to
purchase all of the Herbert Armstrong literature that he says was won
in the court case. Not so! He bought it from what he says is "Satan's
church." (WCG) What about the MISUSE of tithes? Is it okay for Flurry to
spend as he pleases, but not okay for members to do the same?
Why does Flurry need all of this wasted material things--buildings, land,
Herbert Armstrong's prayer rock, expensive
houses, items from
the WCG auction.
Did God's prophets even have a house? Where did Jesus live?? Read Matthew
8:20.
PCG had a sermon this past Sabbath where members were told, "Don't bring
2nd tithes back home from the Feast." It looks like Flurry is going to ask
for all excess 2nd tithes at the Feast this year to build
his NEW Auditorium
in Edmond, Oklahoma.
