My next order of business was to take a closer look at Steve Martin’s former romantic interest and performing partner Stormie Omartian who became a seller of Christian books.
Once again from Miles’ paper,
“This is a problem since she was born Stormie Sherk, which is a Jewish name.
She has no genealogy online, not even parents listed…
A search on the name Omartian pulled up nothing, from Armenia or anywhere else.”
But the name Omartian does pull up an individual that very likely wasn’t relevant to the scope of Miles’ paper but is the perfect person to kick start this examination of what I’m calling “Faith Dealers”.
Paige Armstrong (b. 6/9/90) married her record producer, Chris Omartian on 11/11/11.

We are told that Paige developed a rare form of cancer called Ewing’s sarcoma at the age of 11, although to date, she is completely cancer-free.
During her treatment through chemotherapy (name of hospital?), she began writing songs about the way she felt during her trials.
It was her positive attitude that gained the attention of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and they arranged for her to record a Bath & Body Works holiday CD of four songs that was included as a bonus disc for “This Perfect Christmas 2005”.
Interesting because if you go to the Jewish Museum Berlin website:
I find it perplexing that devout Christians wouldn’t notice that the stars on the guitar look like inverted pentagrams when it’s being played (especially that big red one).
The band backing her is named “Our Hearts Hero” which I would assume is referring to Jesus, so why is the name on the guitar upside down?
If you think that’s a stretch, the song performed in the video (Wake Up) was co-written by Tiffany Arbuckle Lee.

Herbert W. Armstrong (July 31, 1892 – January 16, 1986) was an American evangelist who founded the Worldwide Church of God (WCG). An early pioneer of radio and television evangelism, Armstrong preached what he claimed was the comprehensive combination of doctrines in the entire Bible, in the light of the New Covenant scriptures, which he maintained to be the restored true Gospel. These doctrines and teachings have been referred to as Armstrongism by non-adherents. Armstrong's teachings required observance of parts of the Mosaic Law including seventh-day Sabbath, dietary prohibitions, and the covenant law "Holy Days". He also proclaimed that behind contemporary world events loomed various Biblical prophecies, interpreted in light of British Israelism.[4] As founder and head of the Ambassador International Cultural Foundation, Armstrong and his advisers met with heads of governments in various nations, for which he described himself as an "ambassador without portfolio for world peace."
Armstrong founded the Radio Church of God, which was incorporated October 21, 1933, and was renamed Worldwide Church of God.

McPherson pioneered the use of broadcast mass media for wider dissemination of both religious services and appeals for donations, using radio to draw in both audience and revenue with the growing appeal of popular entertainment and incorporating stage techniques into her weekly sermons at Angelus Temple, an early megachurch.
Her parents were James Morgan Kennedy and Mildred Pearce.
Despite McPherson’s enormous fame and influence, nobody on this physical plane of existence knows whence she came.
Her story involves a kidnapping hoax, and possibly faked death at the age of 53.
Perhaps a future subject to explore. Herbert Armstrong was born in Iowa to a Quaker family.
At the age of 18, on the advice of an uncle, he decided to take a job in a Des Moines newspaper, The Daily Capital (because when you’re 18, you can just decide such things).
His decade-long career in the advertising industry had a strong impact on his future ministry.
In 1917, he met Lorna Dillon, a distant cousin, and they married on his 25th birthday (7/31).
Lorna became persuaded the Bible taught Sabbath observance on Saturday, and she challenged her husband to find biblical support for Sunday observance.
As his business was struggling against larger competitors, Armstrong had the time to take up this challenge.
(That doesn’t ring true. If his business were struggling, he would have less time).
Let’s fast-forward a bit.
Herbert was eventually baptized in 1927, and in 1931 he became an ordained minister of the Oregon Conference of the Church of God (Seventh Day—Saturday).
After severing ties with the Church of God (Seventh Day) as the result of doctrinal disputes, he began to teach a form of British Israelism.
British Israelism (also called Anglo-Israelism) is a movement holding that the people of Great Britain are,
"Genetically, racially, and linguistically the direct descendants"
of the Ten Lost Tribes of ancient Israel.
British Israelism arose in England, then spread to the United States.
Although scattered British Israel societies are known to have existed as early as 1872, there was at first no real move to develop an organization beyond the small groups of believers which had arisen spontaneously.
The beginnings of the movement as an identifiable religious force can, therefore, be more accurately placed in the 1880's when the circumstances of the time were particularly propitious for the appearance of a movement so imperialistically orientated.
Note the dates since it was in 1875 that the Theosophical Society was formed.
In his paper, The Society of Friends looks like another Jewish Front Miles writes,
“nearly simultaneous with the rise of the Theosophy project—the Quakers were assigned a new project, and entered their modern phase….the “Liberal Friends” promoted Darwinism, feminism, modern Biblical criticism, and generally a more aggressive humanism.”
Since Herbert Armstrong was raised Quaker and British Israelism had Jewish support, it appears that British Israelism was just another Intel elixir used to muddy the “holy” waters.
Early British Israelites such as Edward Hine and John Wilson were Philo-Semites (a term used to describe an interest in, respect for and an appreciation of Jewish people, their history and the influence of Judaism, particularly on the part of a Gentile).
British Israelism itself had several Jewish members, and it received support from rabbis throughout the 19th century.
Within British politics, the movement supported Benjamin Disraeli, who was descended from Sephardi Jews, while they also favored Theodor Herzl in his advocacy of Zionism.
In October 1933, a small 100-watt radio station in Eugene, Oregon, offered free time to Armstrong for a morning devotional.
Armstrong began to make (false) prophetic claims that piqued the interest of his audience.
In 1946, Armstrong moved his headquarters from Eugene to Pasadena, and on March 3, 1946, the Radio Church of God was officially incorporated within the state of California.
On October 8, 1947, his new college, Ambassador College opened its doors. Since October means eighth month, that is quite a date for the opening.
8/8 and then year one of the CIA. In 1960 a second campus was opened in Bricket Wood, Hertfordshire, England.
This choice of location is curious since it is also the home of the Bricket Wood coven, a coven of Gardnerian witches founded in the 1940s by Gerald Gardner.

Obama’s Genealogy & so much more – Library of Rickandria Under contract with the Radio Church of God, Rader worked on improving its accounting system, thereby creating a highly favorable impression with Armstrong, who then urged him to attend law school at Armstrong’s expense.
In 1963 Rader graduated from the University of Southern California Law School.
After coming to terms regarding salary and compensation, in 1969 Rader decided to devote his full-time to the service of Armstrong.
Stanley Rader’s mother’s name was Pearl Barron (think Clarence Barron, Dow Jones/Wall Street Journal).
Her mother was a Goldstein.
Rader’s great-grandfather Sam Rader was married to Gussie Goldberg, and his paternal grandmother’s name was Sirotin, which is Russian.
All Jewish names.
Rader, who still considered himself Jewish, was baptized into WCG by Armstrong in 1975 using a hotel bathtub at the Mandarin Hotel in Hong Kong (how’s that for an in-your-face affront?).
This move allowed Rader to reposition himself as a high-ranking church evangelist to quell misgivings by many in the ministerial hierarchy who felt that Rader's undue influence on Armstrong was troubling.

Armstrong, founder of the Worldwide Church of God, at the time a Sabbatarian organization that taught observance of seventh-day Sabbath and annual Sabbath days based on Leviticus 23. Armstrong initially became recognized when he succeeded his father as the voice of The World Tomorrow, the church's radio program that aired around the world. A television program of the same name followed, aired mostly in North America, eventually giving way to a Garner Ted Armstrong broadcast, a half-hour program that mixed news and biblical commentary. His polemical message was unlike that of most other religious broadcasters of his day.
Whereas the plan of Herbert Armstrong’s son Garner Ted Armstrong was to ease his aging father into retirement, the plan of Rader and his aide Robert Kuhn (international corporate strategist and investment banker) was to transform Herbert W. Armstrong from an elderly evangelist into a more secular leader.

In 1975, therefore, they incorporated the Ambassador International Cultural Foundation (AICF) which was actually funded from the tithe money of members of the Worldwide Church of God.
Consequently, the AICF transformed Ambassador Auditorium, on the Ambassador College campus, from a church auditorium, in which Saturday Sabbath church services were conducted, into a “Carnegie Hall of the West," and launched a concert series featuring the top names in classical music, jazz, and the performing arts.
PBS and other television networks made use of this glamorous new venue.
The AICF also created a:
new
glossy
secular
coffee-table
commercial
magazine called Quest, with a circulation of several hundred thousand copies.
Additionally, the AICF bought the book publisher Everest House and funded the motion picture Paper Moon starring Tatum and Ryan O’Neal.
Ryan O’Neal was born Charles Samuel Eldridge Patrick Ryan O’Neal III.
His co-star was Madeline Kahn (born Madeline Wolfson, the daughter of a garment manufacturer, and his wife, Freda nee Goldberg).
The film was directed by Peter Bogdanovich, whose Austrian-born mother (nee Robinson) was Jewish.
The screenplay was adapted by Alvin Sargent (born Alvin Supowitz according to IMDB. Wikipedia neglects to mention that fact).
The film’s plot revolves around a conman and his “daughter” as they grift their way across the heartland of America.
Gee, I wonder what could have inspired Stanley Rader to fund such a project?
Rader used his own professional legal accounting practice and incorporated new companies in order to conduct profitable business enterprises on behalf of the Worldwide Church of God.
The companies mostly owned and controlled by Rader included:
• Rader, Helge & Gerson, which provided legal representation for the church.
• Rader, Cornwall, Kessler, and Palazzo, which provided accounting services for the church.
• Worldwide Advertising, Inc., which booked The World Tomorrow on radio and television stations.
• Mid-Atlantic Leasing, which leased light aircraft and a Gulfstream II, to enable Rader and Armstrong to fly around the world meeting:
kings
princes
presidents
and prime ministers, all paid for by the Worldwide Church of God.
• Wilshire Travel, which made the travel bookings for Rader and Armstrong.
• Gateway Publishing, which printed books used by the church.
Almost until his final days, there was uncertainty about who would succeed Armstrong in the event of his death.

Tkach became president and pastor general of the church upon the death of Armstrong in 1986. Tkach spearheaded a major doctrinal transformation of the Worldwide Church of God, abandoning Armstrong's unconventional doctrines and bringing the church into accord with orthodox evangelical Christianity. His son, Joseph Tkach Jr., continued his work and in 1997 the Worldwide Church of God became a member of the National Association of Evangelicals. During Tkach's tenure, the changes that he implemented stirred intense controversy and internal dissent among the majority who continued to follow Armstrong's theology. The dissenters labeled the changes as heresy and most left to form new church organizations. Within the mainstream, Protestant community, some hailed Tkach's reforms, which brought a church from the extreme fringes to modern orthodoxy, as unprecedented.
The name Tkach is of Carpatho-Rusyn (Ukrainian) origin.
Tkach had worked closely with former church executive Stanley Rader before Rader’s 1981 retirement from active service with the church.
Rader received substantial pension payments arising under his contractual agreement with the church.

Joyce and her husband, Dave, have four grown children and live outside St. Louis, Missouri. Her ministry is headquartered near the St. Louis suburb of Fenton, Missouri.
To start with, Meyer is a Jewish name.
One of the most prominent.
Are people just stupid?
Meyer frequented local bars before meeting Dave Meyer.
They were married on 1/7/67.
Meyer reports that she was praying intensely while driving to work one morning in 1976 (age 33) when she said she heard God call her name.
She says that she came home later that day from a beauty appointment “full of liquid love” and was “drunk with the Spirit of God” that night while at the local bowling alley.
(I think that’s called “a bender”.)
Within a few years, Meyer was an associate pastor.
In 1985, she resigned as associate pastor and began her own ministry and began airing a radio show on six stations from Chicago to Kansas City.
In 1993, her husband Dave suggested they start a TV ministry initially airing on superstation WGN-TV in Chicago and Black Entertainment Television (BET).
See how easy it is?
Now let’s fast-forward a decade to 2003.
In November 2003, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch published a four-part special report detailing Meyer's
• $10 million corporate jet • $107,000 silver-gray Mercedes sedan • $2 million home and houses worth another $2 million for her four children • $20 million headquarters, furnished with $5.7 million worth of:

and the latest equipment and machinery including a $30,000 malachite round table, a $23,000 marble-topped antique commode, a $14,000 custom office bookcase, among many other expensive items all paid for by the ministry.
The articles prompted Wall Watchers (a Christian nonprofit watchdog group) to call on the IRS to investigate Meyer and her family.
Joyce Meyer Ministries says it has made a commitment to maintain transparency in financial dealings, publish their annual reports, and have a Board majority who are not Meyer relatives.

Since they are Jewish industrialists, the Hollywood connection makes sense, but the Christian angle will require a closer examination.

Former Evangelical Leader Moves to Phoenix Wednesday, April 18, 2007; 8:33 PM DENVER (AP) --
The Rev. Ted Haggard moved Wednesday from his longtime home in Colorado Springs to Phoenix, where the disgraced minister will join the same church that helped fallen televangelist Jim Bakker.

Between 1974 and 1987, Bakker hosted the television program The PTL Club and its cable television platform, the PTL Satellite Network, with his then wife, Tammy Faye. He also developed Heritage USA, a now-defunct Christian theme park in Fort Mill, South Carolina.
Haggard, 50, resigned as president of the National Association of Evangelicals last year after a former male prostitute alleged a three-year cash-for-sex relationship.
The man also said he saw Haggard use methamphetamine.
Haggard confessed to undisclosed "sexual immorality" and said he bought meth but never used it.
The same way that Bill Clinton never inhaled.
Ted and Gayle Haggard have ties to Phoenix.
The couple spent three weeks at a secular treatment center in the area after the scandal broke.
And the Pentecostal church they will attend, Phoenix First Assembly of God, is led by the Rev. Tommy Barnett, another member of Haggard's restoration team.
Bakker, the televangelist, found refuge at Barnett's church after being released from federal prison for bilking supporters of $158 million.
He volunteered at a Los Angeles church mission run by Barnett's son.
Ware said Haggard is continuing to receive counseling, which officials said will include an exploration of his sexuality.
A televangelist who brags that he loves money more than women has, not surprisingly, thrown his support behind Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Mike Murdock, a Texas-based pastor who promotes the so-called “prosperity gospel,” formally endorsed the real estate tycoon and reality TV star Monday during a rally in Greenville, South Carolina.
Murdock was a preacher on “The PTL Club,” more commonly known as “The Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker Show,” during the 1980s, before a fraud conviction and sex scandal brought down the couple’s ministry and ended their marriage.
A friend of the televangelist’s son claims Murdock maintained an extensive pornography collection, along with rare coins, jeweled watches and,
during a segment last year on prosperity gospel preachers who urge their flock to show their devotion to God by showering them with cash.
“I ain’t seen a woman as good looking as a $100 bill,”
Murdock said.
“There’s something about a $100 bill that excites you.”
There is no way to determine where this Mike Murdock character comes from so I included this brief profile for some comedic relief.
I then proceeded to explore the name Murdock for other Christian connections, and that’s when I stumbled upon the Wikipedia page for an internet Christ denier.
Dorothy Milne Murdock (1961 – December 25, 2015), better known by her pen names Acharya S and D. M. Murdock, was an American internet personality and a proponent of the Christ myth theory.

View full-sizeDownload Dorothy Milne Murdock (March 27, 1960 – December 25, 2015), better known by her pen names Acharya S and D. M. Murdock, was an American writer supporting the Christ myth theory that Jesus never existed as a historical person, but was rather a mingling of various pre-Christian myths, Sun deities and dying-and-rising deities. She wrote and operated a website focused on history, religion and spirituality, and astro-theology. She asserted the pre-Christian religious civilizations understood their myths as allegorical, but Christians obliterated evidence by destroying or suppressing literature after they attained control of the Roman Empire, leading to widespread illiteracy in the ancient world, ensuring the mythical nature of Christ's story was hidden. She argued the Christian canon, as well as its important figures, were based on Roman, Greek, Egyptian, and other cultures' myths. Her theories are not accepted by mainstream historians, textual critics, and archaeologists other than by a few other Christ mythicists such as, in part, Robert M. Price, a fellow of the Jesus Project.
She argued that the Christian canon, as well as its significant figures, were based on:
Roman
Greek
Egyptian
and other myths.
Her theories have been poorly received by mainstream scholars.
I found it curious that an “internet personality” whose theories have been poorly received by mainstream scholars would have her own Wiki page (and photo).
For a comparison, check out the Wiki page for Miles Mathis.
The fact that no such page exists should be considered a clue that Murdock is artificially promoted.
Murdock’s maternal family history was a dead-end, so I decided to stroll on over to the other side of the family orchard to pick some low hanging fruit, little realizing I had just entered a genealogical labyrinth.
Let’s get the Hollywood connections out of the way.
I now realize that “Strange Relations” was a misnomer.
Sherrie Mae Adams (Dickerman/Cooper, New Haven, CT)
Spencer Tracy’s wife Louise Ten Broeck Treadwell (Harris/Collins, Middlesex, MA)
and Crocker (Charles Billings/Strong, Yorkshire England).
Wow.
So, this poorly received theorist has some pretty lofty connections!
Dorothy Murdock grew up in Avon, Connecticut (a suburb of Hartford).
Avon was named the third-safest town in America by Money Magazine.
The median income for a family is $186,289.
In 1999, as Acharya S, she published her first book, The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold, arguing the concept of Jesus Christ and his story is a fabrication.
In 2009, she released Christ in Egypt: The Horus-Jesus Connection and The Gospel According to Acharya S.
Acharya is a preceptor or instructor in religious matters; founder or leader of a sect, or a highly learned man or a title affixed to the names of learned men.
The designation has different meanings in Hinduism, Buddhism and secular contexts.
It is also a Brahmin surname found in Nepal and across India, including Odisha, West Bengal, and Maharashtra.
(Sounds like a chip off the old Theosophical block.)
These are the prominent members of Murdock’s paternal family history:
• Wells/Welles:
5 generations starting with Bethiah (1655-1733) of Long Island, New York.

I think we may assume Dorothy Murdock is also related to Rupert Murdoch, but either Kevin or I will have to follow up on that later.

The thing to take away from this section, I think, is that the usual families are controlling both sides of every argument.
They have a position all mapped out for you wherever you go and whatever you do, and if you don't bite on that position, they have the opposite direction mapped out for you as well.

It’s the same families pulling the same sh**..enanigans.
The goal is, as always, to keep you:
confused
divided
forking over the cash
The ultimate question to ask now is,
“What would Jesus do”
"And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, and said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves."
