When I attended services, I came across people in this category. I call them 'white flag Christians,' since they had waved the white flag and surrendered the Christian fight. They figured they had nothing to lose, so the gloves came off. They were dangerous dudes.

Pack</b> (DCP) gave a sermon in which he claimed that the people in his own <b>Restored Church of God</b> (RCG) would not have such bad things happen to them because they would be in a "circle of protection." He had also claimed that there were many miracles occurring in the RCG, such as demons being cast out, and people being healed of all sorts of things. This made the RCG sound like <i>the</i> one true church where God was working.<br /><br />Therefore, it was a bit surprising to hear David Pack give a sermon called <i><b>At the Red Sea</b></i>, in which he explained that his wife had cancer and that her condition was "absolutely grave." Shortly after, in an even more surprising letter dated July 26, 2007 and called <i><b>Special Letter Regarding Mrs. Shirley Pack</b></i>, the apostle David Pack announced the death of his wife <b>Shirley M. Pack</b> on Sunday July 22, 2007. She was only 62 years old, and had helped tremendously with typing out all the literature that the RCG had produced. Even in the letter announcing the death of his wife, David Pack wrote that, "We have had many dramatic healings in The Restored Church of God, and all of you regularly hear of them." Strangely, it just did not work out the way one would have expected it to for Shirley, with her being so close to the apostle and the center of the "circle of protection" and all that.<br /><br />Only 19 days after the death of David Pack's wife Shirley, a heavy steel soccer goal weighing approximately 500 pounds fell from a height of about eight feet onto the right side of the face of David Pack's second son <b>Robert Pack</b>, giving him a catastrophic injury. While Robert did survive, some might have expected a little bit more help from the "circle of protection." In fact, some people might fear that the "circle" is actually more like a target marked on the ground, and might want to step outside of the "circle" before a piano falls on them from far above.<br /><br />On May 4, 2008 David C. Pack married his second wife, <b>Vernia I. Anstey</b>.<br /><br />People should not be totally surprised if the RCG does not protect them either, or help them to get healed either.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-24968582718025650752017-01-11T15:42:32.458-08:002017-01-11T15:42:32.458-08:00It looks to me that the common thread most of thes...It looks to me that the common thread most of these dead people had is that David Pack knew them.

But only to serve him of course by getting vengence on the leaders who have left, "Gauwd does work in mysterious ways". <br /><br />DCP:<br />"Another minister—this week—killed himself, and I knew him very well."<br />"…I’m glad my wife is not here to learn how he took his own life."<br />"He was a faithful man in many regards. Love him dearly, and suddenly—gone."<br />"There is a horrible, horrible message being portrayed about this…I hope the man, who was a friend of mine, was never converted; then maybe he could be someday. It’s a confusing time."<br />"Now, you might say that’s awfully strong…but there’s so much. There’s been murder."<br /><br />Being paranoid of the Paranoids isn't so bad in my book. <br /><br />DBPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-24650163231353468912017-01-11T11:59:18.241-08:002017-01-11T11:59:18.241-08:00Packster is going to be 69 this year.

He talks a big game for a guy with a life expectancy according to Social Security data is only a mere 17 years more, with HALF of all 69 year olds dying during that 17 year period. <br /><br />There is no "heir apparent" for PACK, and his movement would definitely crack if he were to die. <br /><br />Sort of like the old Beatles song "When Im 64" <br />Will you still need me<br />Will you still feed me<br />When I'm sixty-four?<br /><br />Answer for Pack ...

But, these splinter leaders wouldn't be Armstrongites if they didn't try to seize on every available event to dramatize and further their own agendas. That's what they do. It used to all be directed at "the world", but now these wonderful examples of humanity have turned it in against their competitors within the same basic belief system. I guess it's like racists. When there aren't any minorities around, racists will bash their own. <br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.com
