Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture is a busy man. He has a lot of projects on the way. Let's take a look at some of them.
https://uspto.report/copyright/search/author/schwab+timothy+jay |
This is a listing from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. On it we find several projects copyrighted by Tim. It is a varied list with both texts and musical compositions being copyrighted. Some of these date back to the early 90's and shed light on the Christian rock n' roll band Tim used to be in. The list is not in any order so I will examine each item chronologically.
This is a cassette tape with two other songs, Call of the Lord and When It's Cold. The music is by Richard Scott Schilling and the lyrics by Timothy Jay Schwab. A Google search pulls up nothing for this cassette. It appears that Richard Scott Schilling released an instrumental album in 2001 titled Earth, Sky, Sea. At least that is the only musician named Richard Scott Schilling on Youtube. It sounds like something one would hear on Hearts of Space. Interesting fact, Christian band Cademon's Call had a song titled Bus Driver. Were they influenced by Tim? I like Cademon's Call, especially Suicidal Stones and Center Aisle. They are leagues better than Petra ever was.

john lumus hmm....... Thumb nail looks remarkably like PETRA™ Come And Join Us, 1977 album cover ~
The God Culture Dude! there's a band i haven't in a long time Petra was awesome! Yah Bless
This is also a cassette tape with music by Schilling and lyrics by Schwab. It also features Nomad collection 1. Was Nomad the name of Tim's Christian rock band?
Another cassette tape but this time with music and words by Timothy Jay Schwab.
4. Out of the Shadows/Nomad 1993
A cassette with lyric sheet. Music and words by Timothy Jay Schwab.
This is just one song. Timothy Jay Schwab is listed as the copyright claimant but there are several other authors. They are Caleb Clemens, Amy Martin, Pat Donahue, and Dustin short. They are credited with the music while Timothy is credited with the lyrics.
Those are all the projects Tim copyrighted before The God Culture was created. Now we will enter into familiar territory.
6. Ophir, Philippines Coffee Table Project 2020
This is, of course, Tim's huge coffee table book.
Again, another book we all know. You can read my review here.
8. Ophir:The Lost Isles of Gold: The Return to the Garden of Eden 2020
This is not a book. This is a dramatic work and music; or choreography. I am betting it is a film script for a documentary. Even though Tim has created hundreds of videos about this subject it would not be out of the realm of possibility that he would whittle it all down into a presentable 2 hour feature. Of course, if he chroeographed a dance about Ophir that would be pretty awesome.
9. The Philippine Gold. Isles of Ophir, Sheba and Tarshish Rediscovered. 2020
This is a text which means it is probably a book. The title is similar to another book The God Culture has claimed they are working on.
Ancient
Philippine
History
Gilded in Gold
A Reconstruction of pre-colonial History and Geography from the Beginning
The description says this is a movie script. Isn't that exciting? Now, Tim could have called this project anything but he called it Sheba Unveiled. He also talks a lot about Lemuria and Atlantis. He really believes they both existed. Lemuria and Atlantis play a huge role in theosophy. Could it be that the title is influenced by Helena Blavatsky's Isis unveiled?
As Tim would say, I can't prove this but it makes sense.
11. The Book of Jubilees. The Torah Calendar 2020
Another book that is familiar to readers of this blog. You can read my review here.
12. Zubu: The Real Story of Lapu Lapu 2020
Like Sheba Unveiled this is likely a movie script. Unless it's a dance. Tim has already given us his uneducated and illiterate opinion about the "real story" of LapuLapu. He says that this chieftain stole the Sto. Niño from Cebu and rejected the yoke of the Spanish. He thus killed Magellan in an act of defiance against colonialism. None of that is true. LapuLapu had no problem with submitting to the King of Spain.
It was the demand of Magellan for him to accept the leadership of a fellow native chief, Humabon, which provoked the Mactan chieftain to anger. Primary sources claimed that the reason which prompted Magellan to explode in anger was Lapu-lapu’s alleged refusal to kiss the hand of Humabon as an acknowledgement of his subordination. Another member of the expedition who made his testimony upon their return in Spain, Fernando de Bustamante, barber-surgeon of the Victoria, in agreement with the other testimonies, also recalled that the natives of Mactan were actually willing to accept Spanish sovereignty but were not disposed to accept Humabon as their overlord: “...those of Mactan wished to obey the king of Castile but the said Ferdinand Magellan told them to kiss the hand of the king of Zebu and those do not wish to kiss the hand of the king of Zebu.”
https://philippinefails.blogspot.com/2021/05/the-god-culture-lapu-lapu-did-not.html
He also did not steal the Sto. Niño which was found in Cebu and not Mactan when the Spanish arrived in 1565. The natives worshipped it because it worked miracles for them.
He continued his voyage until reaching the island of Sebu, where he anchored, induced by the convenience of a good port and by the nature of the land. At first he was received peacefully by the natives and by their chief Tupas; but later they tried to kill him and his companions, for the Spaniards having seized their provisions, the natives took up arms against the latter; but the opposite to their expectations occurred, for the Spaniards conquered and subdued them. Seeing what had happened in Sebu, the natives of other neighboring islands came peacefully before the adelantado, rendered him homage, and supplied his camp with a few provisions. The first of the Spanish settlements was made in that port, and was called the city of Sanctisimo Nombre de Jesus [Most holy name of Jesus], because a carved image of Jesus had been found in one of the houses of the natives when the Spaniards conquered the latter, which was believed to have been left there by the fleet of Magallanes. The natives held the image in great reverence, and it wrought miracles for them in times of need. The Spaniards placed it in the monastery of St. Augustine, in that city.
History of the Philippines, Antonio Morga
Given that Tim has royally mangled this story it will be interesting to see what kind of movie he will make about LapuLapu. Remember this man is not a historian. He has a degree in business management and advertising. He is an adman.
13. 2nd Esdras: The Hidden Book of Prophecy 2021
You can read my two-part review for 2nd Esdras here and here.
14. REST:The Case for Sabbath 2021
This is Tim's newest book. Though, as of this writing, he has not officially released it you can buy it on Amazon. Soon it will be available for free at restcase.org. I have already written a critique of the Foreward by Retired Army Colonel Bien Casis. I have a hunch that this book will be very important and serve as a manifesto of sorts for The God Culture. Surely it will be Tim's most definitive theological statement and will show us all just where he stands on several issues not just the Sabbath.
There are some interesting things on this list. It appears there are two movies in the works. The fact that there is no entry for Enoch is also very telling. It means that, even though Tim says he is working on it, it's just not ready yet. Perhaps it will be soon. None of the instructional editions of Solomon's Treasure appear on this list despite being touted as "coming soon" for almost a year now.
Strangely enough none of these copyrighted works list Tim's second wife, Anna Zamoranos, as an author. Yet, she is listed as co-author on the cover of all his books. Why is this? Perhaps because she is not really a co-author. After all, Anna, like her third husband Tim, has no training as a historian or a researcher or a linguist. She is a licensed real-estate agent. What could she possibly contribute to a project that alleges to be doing "deep research including history, geography, archeology, science, language, etc?" Her skill set does not qualify her for the job.
But there is something even more fascinating here. All of Timothy's copyrights dated from 2020, after he moved to the Philippines, list an address and phone number for Angie Myers in Boca Raton, Fl. Some of these entires even list that his domicile is in the USA.
https://uspto.report/copyright/31717232 |
But Tim has not lived in Florida since at least 2019. So, why is he registering everything to Angie Myers in Boca Raton, Florida? Who is this lady?
Born in the Philippines but raised in Boca Raton, Angie Myers is a photographer who worked for Timothy Jay Schwab's now defunct magazine The Shore Life. She even photographed the cover of the premier issue.
http://www.angiemyers.com/blog/2013/3/5/the-shore-life-premier-issue |
There is even a picture of Tim in this particular article.
It sure looks like Tim anyway. And why would't he be at the photoshoot for the front cover of the inaugural issue of his new magazine?
Angie also sells CBD products. This includes a topical cream and buds you can smoke or bake into edibles.
Happy national CBD day! This plant has literally changed my life and my health. For anyone with anxiety, pain or sleepless nights - this hemp derived CBD is what you need! You can use it as a topical, edible or smoke it. Zero traceable THC and non psychoactive. A common misconception is that it is weed (that stuff that gets you high). It’s a totally different plant and it’s 100% federally legal.
Why is this lady being used as Tim's American address? He does not live there. He has not resided in the USA so for at least two years. So, wouldn't listing his domicile as being in Florida be fraud? Remember, this is a guy who says "the law is what redeems us." One would think he would always want to be on the straight and narrow. Apparently not!
Even you know better than to take the listings as absolute truth. You admit you don’t know TGC is a one man job last article (many such instances), and then you revert to pretending it’s undeniable. Your talk about this being some kind of fraud makes as much sense as scripturally attacking this man’s marriage, when the Bible’s makes absolute clear ONLY God can separate what He has joined together!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are wrong. God hates divorce and Jesus says marrying a divorced woman is adultery. I do not say it is "undeniable" TGC is a group. What I say is that there is no evidence they are a group but if there is a TGC group they are poor researchers. What is fraudulent is EVERYTHING Tim teaches. He is a magazine publisher masquerading as a Bible teacher, Dead Sea Scroll expert, linguist, and historian who claims to know more than the men who have devoted themselves to those subjects. If TGC is a group of real researchers who are experts in the topics Tim covers there is no way he would make so many errors. So, there either is no group or there is a group and they are poor researchers who are not experts in the fields they cover. Tim says they are a group but since he lies about so many things it is best to take his word with a huge grain of salt.
DeleteDo you watch Tim's videos? If so do you take him seriously or not? I take him seriously which is why I do as he says and test him by going meticulously through his books and videos. Try doing that and you will see he is not telling the truth as is made clear in every single one of these articles.
You aren’t consistent and you know it. It’s a large undertaking which would cause anyone to stumble! That’s why he tests himself his ideas with his understanding of the source material and people who have devoted their whole life to the subject. If you think any good faith actor, who’s devoted their whole life to anything academic doesn’t have to put up with the bullshit that is what they can and can not put out without risking their career then let me remind you how it took just for Columbus not discovering a land already inhabited took to become accepted fact. I’m not going to play your proof-texting game, so I suggest you look further into the subject of Biblical divorce. Tim is a married man and believes in keeping the feasts. I’d find it harder to believe there isn’t some level of collaboration when it comes to research. She’d be aware that he’s lying about it if he was. I’ve been watching him since the pandemic and stopped watching him for a while when I found a video you posted on him that was gained a lot of traction. I came back and saw a blogpost of yours which was critiquing Tim for not being a complete racist, and after a few hours of reading off this page I had testimony Timothy Jay Schwab was not a liar and or a moron. I think my other comment got deleted but it might just be glitch. No one is any less intelligent because of their race or ethnic background!!! Repent!
DeleteI am very consistent in my critique of TGC. The man's law keeping doctrine is 100% at odds with the teaching of the Gospel which is that the law leads us to Jesus and we are now no longer under it. This includes the feasts. Tim says our righteousness comes from keeping the law therefore he is not a righteous man because he is in an adulterous marriage which Jesus condemns as such. End of story. If he did not go around teaching people to turn from Jesus and back to Moses then it would be much less of an issue and I would never have mentioned it.
DeleteSo, you are telling me you read all these articles going point by point through his videos and books showing you where Tim is wrong by using the same documents he uses and you still think he is not a liar? You believe Tim is telling the truth about Pigafetta, Pinto, and Barbosa when I show you the actual documents and compare his words to them? And show you EXACTLY where he twisted or ignored them? You are out of your mind. Tim is a liar full stop. This is not my opinion. That is simply a fact based on the very documents he cites and which I present here in full.
"If you think any good faith actor, who’s devoted their whole life to anything academic doesn’t have to put up with the bullshit that is what they can and can not put out without risking their career"
So, Tim is right because everyone else is lying. And we know everyone is lying because....well, just because without any evidence you can provide except an innate distrust of all authority! That is dumb reasoning. It is the same reasoning Tim gives in all his videos against "the stupid scholars" and if you continue to "think" this way it is no wonder you will be ensnared by his lies.
I do not delete comments.
Why don't you read or re-read my 100 Lies series and leave a few comments showing me exactly where the documents are wrong and Tim is right?
DeleteNot consistent about whether it’s a team or not. I should have clarified now that I look at it. You are so utterly convinced he is a liar that you are dumbfounded people can actually do all of that and not to that same exact conclusion. I don’t know what you call yourself but you’re definitely a Protestant guy. And you see, there’s a reason why I point that out. You take his approach to be some extreme literalism and I take it as what you can and can take from the text itself. The Bible has many tools in its writing that we may interpret correctly. My personal favorite is repetition. Context does matter far more than Protestants will acknowledge!!! If they weren’t injecting their own ideas into the scriptures then they wouldn’t have to reinterpret James 2:14 in a way that makes no sense to anyone who has read the Book of James. Tim does. Besides the Philippines being the Garden of Eden I saw a video claiming it was Sheba, Tarshish, Havilah, & Ophir from before he started claiming that. I even saw him leave a hate comment on it, but I don’t remember why it triggered him. He’s not making anything up, he believes it and I think you know that. The scholars that are willingly ignorant rather than forcefully so… yeah, of course they’re ignorant! I’m considering writing on your 100 lies series as of now.
DeleteI’ve written a comment to each of the first ten in the series
