You would think that as we hit the last week in Dave's gunlap towards the Great Church of God Reunification that he would be reporting ministers from the top three COG's had already started coming over. By sharing their names he would get followers from each particular group joining with them. So far, various people from various COG's are reporting that not a single person has left to join Dave.
So how has all of that been going so far? All Dave is able to report over the last three weeks is that he had some more sod laid on his compound, some more trees planted, and a parking lot finished. I guess that little lot is to accommodate the tens of thousands of cars that will soon be caravaning to Wadsworth.
Is the City of Wadsworth's infrastructure ready to handle the tens of thousands of COG members who will be coming to bow down at Dave's feet? That many people flocking to Dave's compound will be a serious strain on the sewer system of the city. The city dump will be overwhelmed.
I can just picture Dave and The Sixteen, standing in the third floor of his Hall of Ad this coming Saturday, looking wistfully down the driveway at the big lot store wondering where all the cars are. What will be going through the minds of The Sixteen? Will they realize that hooked their wagons up with a lying charlatan? Imagine what is going through Dale Schurter's mind right now. Is he starting to realize the things he gave up to be with Dave?
Six days remain till the final day of restoration. Of course a lot can happen this week. War may start in Syria and Dave will use that as a prophetic diversion. There will be wildfires in California, heavy rain in the East, picnic's by the river, cars to be repaired, groceries to be bought and kids to get ready for school. Come September 1, 2013 we will all be here wondering what happened. Of course we all know the answer to that: NOTHING!
This, of course, is classic sales 101. In the final stages of the sales process, a professional closer will reach a point where he goes silent. It is analogous to the "resting" of the case in a court of law. This creates a certain amount of uneasiness or tension while placing the onus directly on the shoulders of the prospective buyer.

Oops...a CoG preacher got it wrong again. No big deal, it's happened hundreds of times before...
ReplyDelete"Silence is a Virtue"
ReplyDeleteMaybe he realized the nonsense.
Much nonsense goes in silence.
Let his words be few, but meaningful. Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand...Humble yourself.
Dave Pack on Sept 1:
ReplyDeleteOh, did I get it wrong? What's that you're saying? Totally, completely, 100%, from top to bottom, absolutely WRONG? Actually, GOD told me a few days ago that HE changed his mind about all of that. Nevermind. I've already forgotten about it. I mean, let's not blow things out of proportion here ... Oh yeah, I almost forgot ... GOD told me HE wanted me to tell you, keep sending it in!
Where's the sand traps? This is a golf course yes?
ReplyDeleteMr. Pack ,at this time is chartering buses and jets to bring the ever increasing crowd home. His prophecy success rate is 0%.
ReplyDeleteJust like Harold Camping who failed and should have gone on a camping trip instead of predicting the end of the world, it's time for Dave Pack to start packing and disappear on September 1st.
ReplyDeleteHey, this probably falls into the category of flawed or improper Christian testimony, but at 12:00 midnight, Sept 1, 2013, why don't we all raise our butts in the air and fart in unison towards Wadsworth, Ohio? It may seem crass or even a little vulgar, but Dave has certainly raised a stench in all of our nostrils this summer, and probably in God's nostrils as well! Flatus to Wadsworth, 2013! It has a nice ring to it, n'est ce pas?

"I can just picture Dave and The Sixteen, standing in the third floor of his Hall of Ad this coming Saturday, looking wistfully down the driveway at the big lot store wondering where all the cars are."
ReplyDeleteThis image, if produced in a Hollywood movie, would be classic :-)
A few rolling tumbleweeds(?) in the parking lot would of course be the final touch.

ReplyDeleteExcellent! Something prophectic minded who just know it all means them and it all means soon can never grasp. Life goes on. Very soon now, Satan will send rain to California or it will burn itself out and God will be trying to get people's attention elsewhere with hurricanes or perhaps unusually deeps snow. When that doesn't work so well, there is always Spring and the tornado season, but only in the Mid-West.
"deep snow" God has kind of a seasonal route He traverses on His "Trying to Get Your Attention Tours" Kinda like the Circus

ReplyDeleteMy guess is that Pack is silent because he's busy crafting a new message to explain to his flock how it's other people's and Satan's fault that he was wrong and that he wasn't really wrong because of "bla bla bla".
After Dave's false prophesy fails to he is proven to be a liar by his own words, maybe the people who follow him blindly might begin to realize what all those who have written about him in the past are truthful when they called him out for being a liar and a manipulator of others.
ReplyDeleteNemesis of Pack
Does anyone expect Dave to repent? I tend to think that his exit strategy will be built upon massive arrogance. One thing is certain. His prophecy ain't gonna come true!
