Two or three years ago in Paignton, I had a conversation with Robin Jones, a hireling minister, based somewhere in London. I was in Paignton attending the Feast of Tabernacles, and Robin was attending what Joe Junior now calls, The Autumn Festival. I asked Robin what was his view of the doctrinal changes that were introduced into the The Worldwide Church of God by Joseph Tkach, senior, and consolidated by Joe junior and Mike Feazell? Robin said, he didn’t agree with the changes, but he didn’t speak out against them, as he considered speaking out as rebellion against Joe junior.
I must confess, that I was astonished at Robin’s irrational sense of logic! For the Chosen Vessel was inspired to write: “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him accursed”(Galatians.1:6). Of course, Robin is not alone in mentally taking this bizarre, irrational position. For I understand from sources in WCG, UK, that other hirelings have been afflicted with the same insanity, caused by supernatural blindness. My sources revealed that Francis Bergin, Ed Smith and a number of other men, who have not been ordained, are afflicted with the same irrational disease!
Yet, the true servants of God have been admonished thus: “Ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence”(Isaiah 62:6). And Jude’s exhortation to God’s faithful ministers is; “it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints”(Jude 3). Despite Isaiah’s and Jude’s exhortation, not a single WCG, UK, minister had the courage to contend for the faith, which is a clear indication that they are hirelings, motivated by money!
Now it should be clear to anyone who is not afflicted with the insanity of spiritual dementia, that Joseph Tkach, and is awful family, fall into the category of heretics, described as: “certain men crept in unawares…”(Jude 4), (Galatians.2:4) and (2 Pet.2:1), “ordained to this condemnation.”
For years, Joe senior, flattered Mr Armstrong and licked his boots, while his covert agenda was to get his hands on the helm of the church. Of course, Cicero observed thus: “Nothing in nature, indeed, is so pliant and versatile as the genius of a flatterer, who always acts and pretends to think in conformity, not only to the will and inclinations, but even to the looks and countenance of another. He can prevail with himself to say either yes or no , as best suits the occasion; and he lays it down as his general maxim, never to dissent from the company.” An apt, but odious, description of Tkach senior.
However, he eventually got his hands on the levers of power, and proceeded to “bring in damnable heresies”(2 Pet.2:1), while threatening violence to those who disagreed with him. In July 1995, He foolishly asserted: “God is not finished with me yet,” but by September he suffered “swift destruction.” But not before signing over the assets of the church to his unsightly son, who eventually sold the Auditorium for $109 million.
I guarantee you that Tkach senior, like the rich man, has lifted his eyes in hell, and can see Mr Armstrong in Abraham’s bosom, and is pleading with Abraham to send Mr Armstrong to put a drop of water on his tongue, and he has been given the same answer that was given to the rich man!
“Woe to them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying Core”(Jude 11).
