Not by demonstrating your church's commitment to humanitarian work such as feeding the hungry or sheltering the homeless, but by giving extravagant gifts to the privileged. Brilliant! Instead of "God's Apostle" he should have been called "God's [Crooked] Lobbyist." And what an original way of demonstrating the “way of give” to a world leader.

Brilliant!

Instead of “God’s Apostle” he should have been called “God’s [Crooked] Lobbyist.”

He was so narcisstic I don't think he could have resisted preaching to them in one form or another.

In reality, all he was looking for was a photo op, to try and justify the fleecing of the sheeple. I really don't believe, knowing everything that I do, that Armstrong actively preached at the world leaders he got pictures with. Otherwise why were the expensive gifts of Steuben crystal necessary?

There was some prophecy that quoted words to the effect that once the message went to all nations that the end would come. Armstrong was taking god’s message to all nations.

In that case, what was Armstrong supposed to be doing when he met with these leaders? Certainly he didn't think he could change the course of God's plan?

It certainly doesn't appear as if he is assuming an Elijah or Moses like posture with the power of God behind him. I wonder precisely when the message about the strong hand from somewhere kicked in!

Barf. It never even occurred to me that all those prestigious trips were the reason we subsisted on Kraft Dinner and Hebrew National wieners for a year one time. :cry: Yeah I remember always feeling so proud, watching the Feast films, that Gawd’s Apawstle was spreading the Gawpsel.
