I suppose it just had to happen sooner or later. The Philadelphia Church of God vultures are now out in force. According to Exit Support Network, PCG membership continues to dwindle. In 1997, there were 5,000 members, but by 2009, there were only 3,800. Furthermore, they have supposedly stopped giving…
