Last week, I received information about the Feast of Tabernacles in Chiang Mai, Thailand as hosted by Legacy Institute. Chiang Mai is conveniently located so that people can travel from Bangkok, Laos or Myanmar in order to attend the Feast. It will be once again held at the Empress Hotel…
On the UCG members website, they have put up the “Sabbath Webcast – General Conference of Elders" for services earlier today. Melvin Rhodes gave the sermon “Go Ye Therefore Into All the World”. Rhodes tends to give very informative and fact-filled sermons, especially when he talks about prophecy. I liked…
Yesterday and today were rather hectic. Actually, a lot more than hectic, but I’ll spare you the details. With everything going on, I’ve been burning the candle on both ends. I actually wasn’t going to post anything at all today, but then this came up. Roy Holladay posted a “Pre-Sabbath…

Since comments are not enabled on COG News, I thought I’d just dash this off before I hit the ground running this morning. First and foremost, I appreciate the recent even-handed commentary from Robert Thiel on the goings on at UCG. I understand his views on governance, and I’m not…
So, what’s really going on here? A few would like to know. This morning, I read with interest Mr Holladay’s take on things on Inside United: Realtime: Further Information Regarding Council Withdrawal of Officers Resolution: Inquiries have been coming in from several elders asking for more details or specific reasons…
