“I want to make a statement about…me…now, if I became deceived, I will never tell you what I’m going to tell you now…I am telling you if I go off into strange ideas, misconduct, rebellion, you name it, don’t follow me. I want to tell you that now, because if I start doing that I’m gonna try to get you to follow me! I’m gonna come to you and tell you it doesn’t apply, it doesn’t mean me, no, no, no, no, no, no, it’s OK to follow me because ABCD and XY and Z. Do you understand what I’m saying? Listen to me now, when I tell you don’t follow me if I go off into weird ideas, or if I get off into other things that are total absolutely unscriptural conduct, because if I do I’m gonna paint it with a different face and try to get you to follow me. Do you understand what I’m saying brethren? Please remember that, because I promise you that if I become deceived, I’ll forget it, and I’ll want you to forget it…And I hope you’ll remember it well enough to quote it right back to me…But I’ll tell you what, I’m not going anywhere.”

Alas, the Worldwide Church of God no longer exists, Ambassador College no longer exists, the Plain Truth no longer exists and The Good News no longer exists. Everything Herbert Armstrong built as a legacy has been wiped away. One would suspect that it was not of God, since you would have expected some of it to still exist. The end times have come and gone, it seems.
Not to worry. There wasn’t much of a Feast last year because of …reasons… [excuses]. One would think that if Christians in the first couple of centuries were willing to be martyrs, that those following Jesus and the Festivals would do anything to obey God rather than men, but alas, government amidst pandemic lock downs was far more powerful than God.
This year though, the Feast is back… somewhat… mostly and some people are attending in various places, mostly near shopping malls again because, well, they don’t have enough to have a balanced budget for most of the rest of the year [and government handouts have sort of stalled], so they have to buy necessities, such as clothes and update their transportation — even though it isn’t technically permitted to do so by cult standards.
There seems to be an Exodus — not of Biblical standards, of course — of people leaving the various Churches of God, leaving only the most stalwart (and those who haven’t heard about the perjury committed in court by ministers striving to protect their turf) or any of so many of those immoral, illegal, unethical and sometimes fattening things the ministry and administration does these days.
So rejoice at the Feast. Buy your needs from second tithe (because, darn it all, your budget still doesn’t balance). Celebrate the glorious world tomorrow where the entire world will be a prosperous shopping mall with a very strong centralized government which won’t permit any freedoms or individualism at all.
And prepare for Post Feast Let Down as you face the Fall and Winter of discontent as shortages return, with poverty, slavery and lockdowns become more stringent, picturing a time of a Dystopian Feast of Tabernacles leading to a last great day of depression where people serve the elite corporatists. Hopefully, you’ll be able to find enough fuel to return home [oh, no, you didn’t fly did you? You might be stranded!] amidst shortages and outages in various places in countries everywhere. Also avoid big crowds on the way home. They might be illegal aliens who are less than the standards you might expect from citizens of your homeland.
Good luck!
