An OPEN Letter to the LCG Leadership and Brethren

7/29/2019 An OPEN Letter to the LCG Leadership and Brethren

1/7

Open Letter to the LCG leadership, and to those who read it,

This last week or so, i asked Wallace G. Smith of the LCG a certain number of questions, he in turn

directed me toward LCG HQ, when he wouldn't give me the answers. I have sent those questions to the

LCG and have not received a response from them since. I also posted the questions on a Prayer request

group, asking for them to Pray for the ministers , that God would give them the answers. I was removedand blocked, for asking such from a "Prayer request group". Someone asked why I was removed and he

was replied with that the LCG knows about what we are posting, and that we (my Family) were causing

division, and that we were Trouble makers. I then got notified that Wallace G. Smith, in which I have had

many conversations in the past with, had posted on his blog about me and my family, saying we're

"goofy" conspiracy theorists. And that we have "our version of Mr. Armstrong". This is of course a LIE.

He grabs a hold of an Idea that he thinks he has the goose that laid the golden egg, the 501c3 subject.

He believes that we are wrong with our research in 501c3. During our past conversations, he pulled out

of the blue, the articles of incorporation of "Herbert Armstrong, Pastor General of the Churches of God,

a corporation sole". He "CLAIMS" that this document disproves our "theory", which of course is not a

"theory" but a "FACT"! He claims that the document he found shows that Mr. Armstrong placed theChurch under the 501c3 section of the Internal Revenue Code. I can disprove it. WITH the document in

which he claims proves him right!

Let's take a look, shall we....

Here's the link to the document(the real source, not some goofy blog)

This was taken fromhttp://www.remediesatlaw.com/intro.pdf

Take a look at what each category contains. This document is from a Law Firm that SPECIALIZES in

501c3.

501c3 is regulated by the state, while the Church that is 508c1a is regulated privately by the Church. Mr.

Armstrong was the latter.

This is the GOLDEN EGG that Wallace G. Smith of the LCG THINKS he has. A Little more study into it, he

wouldnt have presumptuously jumped on it. But that is what happened, and what appears is they are

doing a smear campaign trying to discredit my Family and I, BECAUSE WE ASKED THE FOLLOWING

QUESTIONS! The QUESTIONS which the LCG has NOT answered! Nor has of YET! They are doing damage

control, to ignore the questions, and REFUSE to answer them, they would rather try to discredit those

who asked the questions. I never mentioned 501c3, but Wallace G. Smith keeps bringing it up. Well, God

works in mysterious ways. The True Colors is coming out. Now Lets get back to the questions that

started it all.


6/7

The LCG (as well as the other COGS) have CHANGED the Doctrines of CHRIST! Just as the TKACHS DID!

REMEMBER? That is why they split from them in the first place, because of the CHANGES! They are

doing the same thing the Tkachs did. And I ask WHY. If there is a scriptural explanation for the Changes,

please provide them. BUT I FIND NONE in your literature. Gods people DESERVE AN ANSWER!

I have proven with the Proof your minister, Wallace G. Smith, has SWORE that it disproves whatwere saying. I heard one former Facebook friend say thats why they say the splinter groups are

wrong, sort of, but the MAIN POINT is that they CHANGED THE DOCTRINES, THE ONLY POINT THEY

WANT out of the Picture! They want everyone focused on a subject most really dont understand. I

didnt , it took me a while in studying and research to understand it. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT

is the CHANGES! The Changes! The only thing No one wants to answer for. Please PROVIDE the

Answers, Publically! So that Gods people will know the Truth of theMatter. I ask this of the other COGS


7/7

as well. WHY DO you think that you can change what Christ has done?

Please stop the SLANDER you are doing! Of me and my family, and of MR. ARMSTRONG! First and

foremost JESUS CHRIST! You think you know more than Christ, at this point. But God has a way to purify

that self righteousness from us. RETURN to the ORGINAL Doctrines and Teachings of the HOLY WORD,

the Same teachings and doctrines that Jesus Christ taught through Mr. HERBERT W. ARMSTRONG! The

VERY SAME! Then we may find favor in Gods sight, and receive the blessings and walk side by side into

Gods kingdom. God Prepared His way. We must choose the WAY HE PREPARED through His messenger,

Mr. Herbert W Armstrong. The Way of Christ. Gods WAY OF LIFE! Not the deceptive path Satan the

Devil has prepared through his ministers. A Counterfeit of Gods Path. Lets Return back to God, and His

Teachings and Doctrines and ALL Speak the same thing! The Same thing Jesus Christ spoke through His

Chosen Apostle and End-Time Elijah, Mr. Herbert W Armstrong! If you wont, PLEASE answer these

Questions. ANSWER these Questions ANYWAY, because Gods People deserve an Answer. We await you

HONEST and straightforward answers. Not YOUR justification of the Changes! Repentance is always

best. Lets get back ON TRACK, and in line with CHRIST. We await your ANSWERS.

In Christs Service
