Wadsworth Ohio: "This town is going to be like the movie "Footloose" before we know it."



notice the subliminal seduction by posing in front of Herb and Loma's picture 
as if Dave and wife and carrying on that tradition. 



There was an article this weekend about Dave Pack and his cult headquarters in Wadsworth.    Click on the link above to read it. We now know that his Wadsworth congregation is 140 members and 67 people work at his cult headquarters.  There is more pablum about being the largest Internet minister on the face of the entire earth:

Plans include a four-story, 38,000-square-foot administration building; a 450-seat auditorium; and a three-story, 19,200-square-foot training facility that will house a printing and mailing center, office space and classrooms. The church, which has more than 370 congregations in more than 50 countries and employs 67 people at its headquarters, plans to launch its cable television ministry this fall. (370 congregations translates to 6 people or less on the average)

Average attendance at Saturday afternoon worship services, which are typically reserved for members, is about 140. Visitors are invited by a member or a minister, usually after viewing videos and reading literature at its website (www.rcg.org). Once a minister is satisfied that the individual understands the basic doctrine, he or she is invited to a service. Membership is made official at baptism, usually three to 12 months after a first visit. Baptism is offered only to adults.

Did you know that Packman made a PERSONAL promise to Herbert Armstrong to continue his ministry and doctrines?  Pack is a liar, plain and simple!  HWA never said any such thing to Pack.

After his graduation in 1971, Pack served congregations in Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey and Ohio. His role expanded to training and supervising ministers. Pack said he established the Wadsworth ministry because he was determined to keep his promise to Armstrong of continuing his doctrines.

The best part of the article are the comments that follow the article from Wadsworth citizens:

Sounds like a rather large business venture. Time to start paying taxes. We're getting tired of subsidizing religious businesses.

 I still think this space would be better occupied by Costco.  


Why, Wadsworth? Freaking WHY?
How in the world is this going to be a benefit to our community?




Oh joy a cable TV ministry.... Good grief.  


Pretty grand plans for 140 members. Sumthin ain't quite raight heah.





My favorite:  This town is going to be like the movie "Footloose" before we know it.


Perhaps it's time to add your comments to the Akron Beacon Journal article and let the world know the REAL side of Davey.  Add your comment here:  Article comments

    I always wondered what his second wife looked like. Pack hired her to take care of his dying first wife and then married her nine months later. That shows you how Pack thinks.

    Hahahahahaha. Did that newspaper photographer actually go along with having Pack and the Mrs. pose with Herb and Loma looming over their shoulders? What a ridiculous puff piece. It'll never hold up to scrutiny over time.

    Wow, his 2nd wife is pretty cute. She looks like she is wearing lipstick. I bet he lets her wear makeup at home. What's the deal with these ministers marrying young chicks after their wives croak? Jackasses !

    Wadsworth needs to heed Revelation 18:4.

    They have plagues aplenty without accepting the ones which will accompany David Pack.

    The Good News is that if they have a Feast there, at least the Liquor Stores will benfit mightily.

    And if the community is smart, they could make a lot of money on DUI arrests.

    In the newspaper report referring to the RCG’s potential new site where they hope to move to after their new headquarters is built, the paper refers to it as the “church is planning to construct a three-building world headquarters on Ambassador Drive, west of the Giant Eagle store off state Route 261 (Akron Road).

    Ambassador Drive, now there’s a name! Did D Pack choose this site because the road name showed him it must be the right place?

    Or was it the more boring possibility – that having paid over $1,000,000 for a building site, he could change a road name to something more ‘in keeping’, a clone of the old WCG, the same way as he clones ‘The Real Truth’ magazine, and ‘The World to Come’ TV program.

    D Pack is not really an original thinker now is he?

    From the most recent comments, it looks like RCG is in a bitter land dispute with one of its neighbors. That's got to lead to bad press. Ha ha.
