Goo...Excellent and very balanced analysis, Dennis. Good,, appropriate application of scripture, as well. If someone were inclined to openness towards honest evaluation or constructive criticism, this would be a great foundation. <br /><br />Unfortunately, in the case of Mr. Pack, the more he flaps his gums, the more we realize that he has become the worst, most extreme, cartoon caricature of the bad elements of Armstrongism, and has immunized himself against any possible opportunities for growth.<br /><br />Joe likened him to Khan. However, more depth to Davey's pathology can be realized from study of some additional Star Trek adversaries. I recall one who insisted on calling himself "Lord Garth"' who somewhat encapsulated Davey's super ego. There was also a villain who illustrated the extent of Pack's dictatorial nature who actually took over the bodies of Kirk and Spock, forcing them to do a little dance and narration about being Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.<br /><br />Bottom line is this: Armstrongism is a defective product in that if it is used in the manner prescribed by its manufacturer, it does not work; moreover, it causes damage, and manifests itself in various forms of psychosis. Of course here we see a perfect example of the ultimate level of damage. Hard drug abuse would probably be less damaging to the soul.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-68087233583138976342013-06-15T10:31:39.806-07:002013-06-15T10:31:39.806-07:00Amazing.

Pack under questioning from Kirk and Spock, would respond as follows... (with only slight changes from the original script) <br /><br />(After dinner, as liqueurs are being served.) <br /><br />KIRK: Forgive my curiosity, Mister Pack ,but my officers are anxious to know more about your extraordinary journey. <br /><br />SPOCK: And how you managed to keep your sullied past reputation out of the history books. <br /><br />PACK: Adventure, Captain. Adventure. There was little else left in the COG. <br /><br />SPOCK: There was an internal and external church effort to end tyranny. Many considered that a noble effort. <br /><br />PACK: Tyranny, sir? Or an attempt to unify the Church?<br /><br />SPOCK: Unify, sir? Like a team of animals under one whip? <br /><br />PACK: I know something of those years. Remember, it was a time of great dreams, of great aspiration. <br /><br />SPOCK: Under dozens of petty dictatorships. <br /><br />PACK: One man, like me, would have ruled eventually. As Rome under Caesar. Think of its accomplishments. Haggai predicted it. <br /><br />SPOCK: Then your sympathies were with...<br /><br />PACK: You are an excellent tactician, Captain. You let your second in command attack while you sit and watch for weakness. <br /><br />KIRK: You have a tendency to express ideas in military terms, Mister Pack. This is a social occasion.<br /><br />PACK: It has been said that social occasions are only warfare concealed. Many prefer it more honest, more open. <br /><br />KIRK: You fled, Meredith, Tkach, Why? Were you afraid? <br /><br />PACK: I've never been afraid.<br /><br />KIRK: But you left at the very time the church needed courage and true Christian humility.<br /><br />PACK: I offered the Church ORDER! (fist hits table) <br /><br />KIRK: "I" ??? <br /><br />PACK: Excellent. Captain, Excellent. But if you will excuse me, gentlemen and ladies, I grow fatigued again. Captain, I will return to my Wadsworth headquarters now. <br />(Kirk stands, and Pack leaves.)<br /><br />Joe Moeller <br />Cody, WY <br /><br />PS- Beware of when Pack takes over your brain by putting those little critters in your ear like Khan did in the movie sequel " THE WRATH OF PACK...err KHAN!"
