The biography was to support the business model and the personage of Dave Pack as the only one who didn't stray from any point of teaching of HWA. Dave Pack elevated himself above all others because of that one point of holding fast and looking back to his access to HWA through his wife. It wasn't long before he decided he needed to elevate himself to the title of Apostle through fear that a higher ordained man would come into his church.<br /><br />The business model has changed through the years and holding fast to all of HWA's teachings is long gone. The new business model elevates this man to all of the personages of the bible except the two witnesses and the Father. The new model incorporates himself into all of his new teachings and his church's growth is the fruit of his god MAMMON. On the surface, all of the beautifully dressed members and the spectacular landscaped headquarter's campus and the artful Internet presence will fool many including themselves, but deep underneath it all is a disdain for the teachings of Jesus Christ and the truth of the bible. <br /><br />The beautiful clay Pot of the RCG and its leader when put under a microscope reveals a gross counterfeit to what Jesus Christ intended for His Church to be.

It was around 2003 or 2004. He was really beginning to build himself up. He was making the transition to teaching what we believed to be sound doctrine, to making this a work all about him. <br /><br />We left in 2004, and are so glad we did. RCG was really small then. Over the years we have found out that many who stayed with him for several years after this, have finally left.<br /><br />Great!!!!

When HWA wrote his autobiography, millions of people wanted to know who the voice on the radio was, and how did he get off saying all of those outrageous (for the times) things. So, absenting the man’s incredible ego and temper, it almost made sense for him to write an autobiography.<br /><br />Who, outside of the relatively small group of people who were part of HWA’s church, had even heard of David Pack who was not one of the original student-evangelists who had graduated from Ambassador College in the 1950s? Pack egotistically wrote his autobiography to make himself appear to grow into the role of HWA’s successor. His book is pure apologetics devoted to supporting his assuming HWA’s mantle, even though HWA had actually hand picked, for whatever reasons, quite another successor. Let’s face it. It’s not as if HWA had asked during a ministerial conference, “Who would be my worthy successor?” only to have the entire assembly answer in one unhesitating breath “Dave Pack!”<br /><br />The fact is, this camp little autobiography is quite the curiosity, considering how few have actually read it, and bought into its purpose. Its performance would most likely get a real author canned by his publisher. Since it is a self-published vanity project, obviously that won’t happen, but one can get a sense of its relative importance by the sheer lack of effectiveness. Pack should have called it “Honey, I shrunk my Mini-splinter”.<br /><br />Bottom line? There should probably be a section in DSM VI when it comes out, dissecting this book, and identifying the various mental disorders which produced it.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.com
