Bob Thiel wants you to know today is Herbert Armstrong's birthday. Bob Thiel also wants you to know that TRUE Christians do NOT celebrate birthdays - they only acknowledge them. WTH?
Like any good Armstrongite trained at Rod Meredith's feet, Debby Downer has to bring death and sex into the birthday
wishes acknowledgements.
Herbert W. Armstrong was born 121 years ago, on July 31, 1892. And a lot has happened in the world since he was born. From automobiles to the space age, from paper to computers and the internet, from WWI to WWII to terrorism, from societal respect for biblical principles to abortion & homosexual marriage “rights.” There have been changes.
But “he who does the will of God abides forever” (1 John 2:17).
Even though we in the most faithful COGs actually do not celebrate (but do acknowledge) birthdays, nor do we celebrate his (see also the article Did Early Christians Celebrate Birthdays?), since many who come to this page know little about him that this would be a good time to tell a few things about him.
Here is a video of
HWA's 2009 birthday bash.
