Dave Pack Demands That RCG Members "Fundraise" More Money To Meet His Year End Goal

 

(screenshots sent in by an RCG source)


Dave has been demanding his followers hold bake sales, sell fruit, work sporting and social events, and come up with other creative fundraising tactics in order to send that money to the cult compound in Wadsworth, Ohio.  His remaining followers have worked diligently to follow his demands and are close to his goal. However, they are still short of Dave's original yearly goal and members are now being asked to step up their efforts to make more money. How many of these followers who are sick of his demands will end up just sending in personal money so they don't have to do any more projects? This is just another one of Dave's guilt trips to con members into sending in their own money.

And don't forget boys and girls...those of you who are backsliders and still have not sent in your tithe of the tithe and excess second tithe must do so IMMEDIATELY! God forbid if you happened to have been sick and missed one of Dave's Feast services on a day offerings were taken up and you STILL have not sent it in, you MUST do so now!

PCG: God gave us our new jet



Now that God has given us the new throne, His Work is moving forward with a much faster speed. It is critical for God’s people to understand this. We are now in the gun lap of our race to Christ’s Second Coming. At this point, events in the world are speeding along at a breakneck pace. God is going to hasten to perform His Word. And He wants to stir us to our fastest speed in the final phase of His Work in this world. He wants us to expend all our energy to finish His Work—the last lap of the race! 
Isn’t this the main reason God gave us a corporate Gulfstream G450 jet at the same time He gave us the new throne of David? 
“And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north. Then the Lord said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the Lord; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah” (verses 13-15).

Treasures of the King - Your Tithe Money at Work

These pictures are from an auction held in New York City, April 11, 1995 at Christie's.  This was just one of many auctions held in New York and Los Angeles concerning the sale of Herbert Armstrong's collection of gold, silver and fine art.  Much of  the fine art and metalwork were purchased during the time HWA was mailing out letters to the membership demanding that they cut back and send in more money.  The "Work" was always in a state of distress. Many members did indeed sacrifice and mailed in more money.  The result - HWA was on treasure hunting trips to Harrod's in London and other UK locations buying treasures for his three homes and college campuses (St Alban's, England, Big Sandy, TX and Pasadena, CA).

While Mrs. Armstrong was alive and in the early years of the church they lived in a modest house on Hill Ave (now owned by Cal Tech).  When Loma Armstrong died Herb began shedding his 'simple' life style for the extravagant one.  This was also the time Gerald Waterhouse and Dean Blackwell started blabbering that HWA was an Apostle.  And as you all know from the Bible, Apostles were meant to travel around the world speaking to world leaders, give them gifts of Steuben crustal, and play host to them at extravagant dinner parties at the various campus homes.  Apostles were ordained by God to live lives with the finest the earth and humankind has to offer.  This easy justification lead to multiple millions of dollars in extravagance by HWA,  evangelists, faculty, certain department heads and many ministers.

Somewhere I have the actual auction sale prices. the ones listed here are the estimates  printed in the catalog.
