ACOG Zealot wants to force ACOG members into attending 7-day Unleavened Bread sites

Never one to stop frothing at the mouth at all of the perceived backslidings of the Armstrong Churches of God, the Chief Pharisee is on his kitchen throne handing out new decrees that ACOG members should be attending physical sites for the Days of Unleavened Bread.  He claims this because his idol Herbert Armstrong did it decades ago during the early years of the church.  However, HWA realized it was not feasible for church members to take off 2 separate time periods in the year without income dropping because of job-related issues.  He quickly learned his lesson as income dropped dramatically during this time period. Plus, children missed out on another 9 days of school in addition to the 10 days or more off at the start of a new school year each fall.  It never was about the fact it is not required of New Covenant Christians but was due to the fact that income would drop.  After all, the ACOG has always been money based instead of New Covenant based.

Pharisee Malm writes:

Herbert Armstrong had begun and was learning and growing until in late 1967 Loma Armstrong died of bowel cancer, after that time Herbert came under the full persuasive spell of Stanley Rader [a 32 degree mason] and Robert Kuhn, who convinced him to adopt the Roman Catholic Nicolatiane church government system Primacy of Peter heresy and to abandon the true Gospel for a business model outreach approach.  Later Rader was to brag that he had “Entered”  Armstrong into the lodge, which then arranged the Armstrong international contacts.  

These crazy conspiracy theorists love to pretend a Jewish and Armenian cabal totally deceived Herb, which then led him to start letting church members cook on Saturdays  and go out to restaurants.  One has to be truly an idiot to believe that Rader and Kuhn were behind this.  They certainly had their faults, but Malm is reaching up his ass for this one.

At that time Herbert also abandoned observing the Jerusalem new moons with bible studies, the observance of the Feast of Unleavened Bread for the full seven days as the pilgrim feast God had commanded, and began to allow people to trample all over the Sabbath even cooking and going out to restaurants.

How many COG people today know that the Radio Church of God celebrated this festival for the full 7 days – just like the Feast of Tabernacles? Then in 1968 (when the church was renamed Worldwide) all of the Passover/Unleavened Bread Festival sites were cancelled?
“The May, 1962, issue of The Good News magazine reported on God’s Passover Observed World-wide. This article was written by Evangelist Roderick C. Meredith. Over 10,000 brethren of the Radio Church of God in seven major Festival locations in America, plus others in England, Australia, and around the world, observed a glorious Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread.

My mother joined the church in 1959 and at no time did we travel anywhere for a 7 day UB festival site.  For the first and last day yes, not 7 days.

Unlike the common practice today of having Passover and Night to Be Remembered locally in homes, and perhaps Holy Day services on the first and last days of unleavened bread, the practice then was to observe an eight-day festival with the whole church in central places, with multiple sermons and Bible Studies every day, just like the Feast of Tabernacles.” (Days of Zeal Gone By, Richard Nickels)

The Chief Pharisee continues with more erroneous history:

The Radio Church of God continued observing both festivals at many regional feast sites for the full 7 days until 1967. In 1968 (when the church was renamed the Worldwide CoG) observance of the full 7–day observance was discontinued. Herbert Armstrong’s wife Loma died in 1967 and, lacking her counsel, he was quickly persuaded that maximizing income for “the Work” must in future be the priority. 

The overzealous Pharisee continues to place heavy millstones around the necks of his devotees as he lays one burden after another on their already weary shoulders.  It really doesn't matter to him though as he has no job to take time off from, other than banging away on his keyboard.
