  Worldwide Church Of God vs Philadelphia Church Of God; US 9th Court of Appeals
The Church hoped to "prevent a transgression of conscience by proclaiming what the Church considered to be ecclesiastical error" espoused in MOA and it considered that Armstrong, who was ninety-two when he wrote MOA, conveyed outdated views that were racist in nature.
PCG did not plead this defense in its answer (or otherwise raise it in the district court) as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(c) ("In plead- ing to a preceding pleading, a party shall set forth affirma- tively [the affirmative defense of].
PCG's brief describes MOA as "primarily a tex- tual, historical account of [Armstrong's] views of the `the truth' of the Bible." While it may be viewed as "factual" by readers who share Armstrong's religious beliefs, the creativ- ity, imagination and originality embodied in MOA tilt the scale against fair use.

 Worldwide Church of God, 227 F.3d 1110 (9th Cir. 2000)
PCG did not plead this defense in its answer (or otherwise raise it in the district court) as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(c) ("In pleading to a preceding pleading, a party shall set forth affirmatively [the affirmative defense of]… license.").
PCG's brief describes MOA as "primarily a textual, historical account of [Armstrong's] views of the 'the truth' of the Bible."

 Worldwide Church of God: God Bless America?
No human father would have the lack of compassion for his children that this god must have for his "children." No human father would be allowed to see his children in trouble and stand back and do nothing.
This god didn't have enough power or caring to prevent this event that caused the mourning but we think he may have enough power or compassion to help someone deal with their tragedy, but only if we pray enough or light enough candles or go to church or get "right" with him.
If God allows a tragedy to hit our country, the religious types will say, and are saying, that it is because of the ACLU, the homosexuals, the Blacks, the Jews, the Secularists, etc. We have to get rid of these people who don't believe as we do, and then god will bless us.

PCG members are permitted to have friendly contact with supposed heathens—those who have never been Sabbath-keeping Christians, including members of Sunday- observant churches—but not with their fellow Church of God members whom the PCG judges to be Laodiceans...
Micah 7:1 is a blanket condemnation of all God's Laodicean churches (Flurry, Gerald.
PCG fails to realize that Jesus condemns the Laodiceans for their work--this is obviously a different work than the Philadelphians have (for the true Philadelphians only receive praise from Jesus)--PCG's writings clearly show that it has a different work than HWA's WCG had.

When she saw in the PCG congregation a single guy a fraction of her age, she went on week after week and month after month for a couple years trying to get her hands on him and trying to get him to go over to her place.
The various Churches of God (COGs) seem to have no shortage of such lustful old women who want to do the "good deed" of being "friendly" to single guys a fraction of their age, and who want to "help" them by dating them, and getting their hands on them.
It's too bad that PCG members and leaders don't fast and pray and study the Bible more until they can keep their filthy old hands to themselves, stop getting drunk, keep their dinks in their pants and out of other men's wives, stop divorcing their mates to chase other people, and shut their lying mouths.
