Bob Thiel Sinks To New Low Trying To Shame The Late Aleksandar "Sasha" Veljic



Kolchak has left a new comment on your post "Crackpot Prophet Weighs In On Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse":

1:13, isn't Bob the one who's vile when he rakes in the latest news tragedies into his revolving door to print back out again, but with spin meant to prop himself up with it? (ok or to prop up his hierarchical prophet-office?) (under the guise of propping up the bible ya, ya ok ok)

As a short stature person, he's always trying to be seen above the crowd of taller folk, to have them all turn toward him as a main event center of attention. (ME, ME, look at me, Gaylyn anointed ME as a top hierachical prophet!)

Bob's sicker than normal spouts are when he now likens the late Sasha challenging Bob, to as if Sasha was kicking Jesus in the pricks...THAT is the scripture BOB USES now to accuse Sasha of doing some kind of "kick" onto Bob/& or Jesus?, by citing Acts 9:5 onto our late friend Sasha : "Last week, the troubled (cf. Acts 9:5) Aleksandar ‘Sasha’ Veljic died (see Aleksandar ‘Sasha’ Veljic died). I have known of him since 1994"

Bob now hits Sasha with Acts 9:5 NKJV:

5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”
Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. [a]It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

(Bob believes Sasha doing that particular kick onto Jesus/& or onto Bob).

VERY uncomfortable to see a church leader shaming his former beloved late ordained Elder that way.

Is Bob so "almost Jesus-like" that if anyone is uncomfortable with Bob, then they therefore are uncomfortable with Jesus (in Bob's view that is)?

Watch Bob spin a reply to this now, soon. He'll Dave-Pack-back-track and say, "well they took it out of context again, like they did claiming I said (things like) death is necessary/well timed/needed/welcome/a friend of relief during travail/etc".

The only thing Sasha was (rightly) "troubled" about, was how true Christians tend to dislike the "world's corrupt systems" : (1 John 2:15-17 NKJV : 15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.) And many of the sincere, including Sasha, can find life troubling when we witness all the injustices rampant.

(note : Sasha's ENTIRE LIFE was ALL about 1 John 2:15-17)! Many can attest to it!

Bob pokes at Sasha as if there were mentally "troubling" matters, and Bob's doctorate should be revoked if he tries to psychologically diagnose Mr. Veljic or anyone so poorly. When Sasha simply followed scripture and was humbly troubled at global & local injustices.

Now, Bob has doormat patsy supporters writing this site is vile, at 1:13 Anon. I think I am ashamed at Bob's "Meredith-ish" rude abrasive personality masquerading as if he is a living embodiment of the bible itself.

(the one who's "troubled", is the short fella hollering out kind of like "the-squeaky-wheel-gets-the-grease")

Spiritual Narcissism In The Church



At this point in the lives of those who have been part of Armstrongism over the decades, we have all known narcissists in the church. Sadly, a large percentage of the leadership of the hundreds of splinter groups are spiritual narcissists. They are the best men the church has ever seen leading the best COG's since the apostles walked this earth. God speaks in and through them and all should do well to heed their perfect words. Don't ever think of questioning them...


What is spiritual narcissism? These narcissists are at your church, yoga class and more by Charles Trepany

Narcissists are everywhere − and, yes, that includes church
 
If you've been involved in a church, yoga class, meditation group or other religious or spiritual community, odds are you've come across a spiritual narcissist, or a narcissist who uses spirituality and religion as a means to garner attention and validation, also known as narcissistic supply, to control others. 
 
By no means does someone being religious or spiritual mean they're a narcissist. Rather, psychologists say, spiritual narcissists distort religion and spirituality to cater to their own selfish interests, as well as to punish and abuse others.

Even if you have only been part of Armstrongism for a short while, you already know how distorted from reality it all is.

Spiritual narcissists will often take religious teachings out of context in order to gaslight people into doing what they want them to do or to justify their own mistreatment of others. If you speak out or raise questions to a spiritual narcissist, expect a smear campaign, in which the narcissist criticizes your faith, spiritual practice and morals. 
 
Like all narcissists, spiritual narcissists also lack empathy, caring only about themselves. Because of this, being perceived as spiritual and enlightened is often more important to them than actually being spiritual or enlightened. 
 
"They act like they speak for God and, if you don’t do what they want, then you’re against God. Essentially, they put themselves between you and God and claim that if you don’t do whatever they want you to do, then you’re not a 'true believer' or that you’re a bad person," Cole says. "They never practice what they preach." 
 
In extreme scenarios, spiritual narcissists may even start cults or become cult leaders, says Stephanie Sarkis, a psychotherapist and author of "Healing from Toxic Relationships: 10 Essential Steps to Recover from Gaslighting, Narcissism, and Emotional Abuse."

"Anyone that's in a position of power can inflict narcissistic abuse on others, and, particularly when it's a spiritual organization, you have people that might be vulnerable, that may be more of a target for narcissists," Sarkis says. "There's inherent power in leading a group of people." What is spiritual narcissism? These narcissists are at your church, yoga class and more

UCG Is More Unifed Than Ever And Ready To Take On The Catholic Church As The End Times Draws Nigh

 

After UCG's recent turmoil in Italy with another defecting minister, UCG has come out to say that the Italian church is as strong as ever and stands in fear of NO man or the Catholic Church. 

Why do so many Armstrongist churches have to thump their little chests instead of acting like real grace-filled Christians?

As for exposing the "evils of the world" the COG has a long history of running off at the mouth in sermons and sad magazine articles and then doing nothing. They can't even keep their own churches morally or spiritually clean, so why really worry about the world?

Most importantly, the Church there is united and at one with God, poised and ready to do the work God has called us all to do. God has been doing a work in Italy for years, dating all the way back to the time of the apostle Paul. Rome was the seat of the gentile world then, and Paul witnessed strongly of God’s ways. Today, Italy is the seat of the leader of one of the world’s leading religions. As time moves forward, God will lead His true Church in the work to be done in Italy, without fear of man, as we preach the truth and hope of the gospel and expose the evil of this world (Ephesians 5:11). Where He leads, we will follow. He will provide the direction and reveal His will as we move forward.
