COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n PCG<\/a> took more action against FOX 25’s public statements against them.\u00a0 At its website, as well as in an additional full page ad in The Edmund Sun,<\/em> Gerald Flurry wrote:<\/p>\n THE PHILADELPHIA CHURCH OF GOD ASKS <\/span><\/p>\n FOX 25\u2019s news director, Joe Spadea, told the Edmond Sun<\/em> that Nick Winkler\u2019s November 24-25 report on the Philadelphia Church of God (PCG) was based on \u201cexhaustive\u201d and objective investigative reporting. But the fact is, the report was filled with half-truths and outright errors. Our reputation was trashed by this shoddy report. We feel we must set the record straight.<\/p>\n Mr. Winkler made passing references to police and FBI investigations of our church. Where did he get this information? We know of no such investigations. Apparently, neither does the FBI. After the Fox 25 report aired, we called the local FBI, and they told us, \u201cI don\u2019t know what he could have been referring to.\u201d<\/p>\n Why would Fox 25 casually include such an inflammatory false accusation? Surely they understand how the charge of a federal investigation would unfairly prejudice their viewers against us. The FBI agents we spoke with told us, \u201cDon\u2019t believe everything the media says.\u201d Amen to that.<\/p>\n Two years ago, the FBI visited our campus. They had received reports of small aircraft activity in the area and wanted to know if it originated from our licensed airstrip. We told them the airstrip had never been used since we purchased the property in 2000.<\/p>\n Is this the FBI \u201cinvestigation\u201d Fox 25 inserted into its piece to create the impression that some sort of Waco-style confrontation is forthcoming between the FBI and our church?<\/p>\n The FBI has \u201cinvestigated\u201d the church<\/em>, Fox 25 warned\u2014WITHOUT ELABORATING ON THE NATURE OF THE INVESTIGATION. That is diabolical<\/em>. During his hour-and-a-half interview with my son, why didn\u2019t Nick Winkler ask one question about the so-called FBI investigation?<\/em> If his intent was to include it in the piece, wouldn\u2019t an honest reporter at least want an explanation from the organization supposedly being investigated?<\/p>\n As I stated from the beginning, while I consider that Gerald Flurry is a self-appointed false prophet, I did not believe that FOX 25 should have made certain inuendos against PCG that it did (see PCG on the News<\/a> and PCG Responds to FOX 25<\/a>).<\/p>\n Of course, this is not the first time that the media has intentionally misrepresented “evidence” about those who have some association with the COG.\u00a0 But this is perhaps the most blatant episode this year.<\/p>\n Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n Teachings Unique to the Philadelphia Church of God<\/a> Simply calling oneself \u2018Philadelphia\u2019 does not make one so (see Revelation 3:7-9), nor does Gerald Flurry calling himself \u201cthat prophet\u201d make it so. This article provides many quotes from this group which claims to be faithful.
