The Wadsworth Blue Tip
Foretold in Scriptures as a forerunner to the true light of the world to come.
In the last days, Jesus returns to Wadsworth, Ohio first,
to become the TRUE fire and light of the world.
Once Dave's "jesus" returns to Wadsworth as The Sprout, he and the rest of his group will spread out around the world and billions will be converted. They will swallow all of the "truth" that Restored Church of God members will share with them, particularly the fact that "jesus" comes to Wadsworth before it goes to Jerusalem.
The Jews that are remaining in Jerusalem get to fight. Who knows what you will do when no one can lay a glove on you, when enormous angelic forces are subject to you, when we head out into a world of billions that believe our stories of Jesus Christ coming not only somewhere other than Jerusalem—but also to His spiritual Temple—makes us a whole lot of kooks, and Christ chooses to dial Himself down, but nobody can lay glove on us.

Well maybe not a glove, but hopefully a STRAITJACKET!
Say whattt? Is this an episode of "Lost" that didn't make it on to the DVDs? The Mount of Olives is going to be moved to Wadsworth so that JC can split it? I doubt that most of Dave's followers even believe this, let alone billions!
We've had a number of "leaders" contending for the most cartoonish characters of Armstrongism. Ron Weinland, Wade Cox, Daryl Henson, Bob Thiel, Gerald Flurry, Rod Meredith.... It's a difficult job to eclipse those mentioned, but Dave Pack seems to have ascended to the top of the list.
Unless Dave has some Mexican friends, nobody by the name of Jesus is ever going to show up on the Wadsworth wannabe campus.

Danger,danger,danger signals ahead.Flashing brighter day by day.This is troubling and could end very nastily.This cult is destructive to all involved and surely is a short step away from something badly happening.Pack needs to be reported to the authorities and soon.
Pack needs to be reported to the authorities and soon.
I'm sure the authorities are well aware of Pack and Flurry and others. There are persistent and credible rumours that several of the splinters' Home Office staffs have been infiltrated by government agents who report back to Washington regularly.
The problem is that the local Wadsworth newspapers and religion reporter are in bed with Dave because he has brought improvements and money to the area. The newspaper reporter that did an initial story on Pack was contacted by countless people telling her of the horrors that go on in the Restored Church of God. Colette Jenkins was given all kinds of information. She ignores it. When people die or some other tragedy happens, they will deny any culpability in not exposing them previously.

If the government were to intervene, we've seen how that goes from the receivership crisis. However, in the age of splinters, intervention might cause the other ACOG groups to rally to their defense, or it could make them run scared as they do if a couple of eggs are thrown at cars during the feast.
If the surrounding Christian community tries to show support during any sort of crisis, these people actually complain about their crosses!
I really don't think there is much of any hope. These tyrants will do as they please, and they'll get away with it. The best we can hope for is that as many people leave as possible over the normal little hurts.

That is precisely why it is so very important for the Banned Blog to do its job and report the facts that no one else is reporting. COG people need a source where they can learn the plain truth, the real truth, and the bad news about such things as the malicious false prophets and their abusive imposter cults. COG people should not be totally abandoned and left to learn everything on their own the long, hard, expensive (and sometimes fatal) way.
Reading about Dave's antics each week made me think about long-running television programs when they were slated to be canceled. Some just ended, some ended with closure, and then there were those that went into weird plot twists and alternate endings. Dave's show definitely jumped the shark some time ago...
The constitutions separation of religion and government makes it hard for the government to intervene, even if it's obvious that people are being exploited.
Dave knows that societies moral decline acts as a cloak for his shenanigans. He blends in with the irrationality and tyranny in the culture. Which is why many reporters will defend him, sensing that he's one of their own.
What a convenient matchstick to light the RCG compound on fire!
It's just about the right size too!
I hope that readers realize that just because an ACOG exercises its right to remain silent to avoid incriminating itself, that doesn't mean that it is any better than Dave!
They all scare and entrap people by pretending to understand prophecy, they extort tithes that cannot be justified through honest Bible Study, and they practice legalism in such a way that it robs people of the good elements of human nature.
Not all of them are as flamboyant as Dave Pack, but all are part of a false system that causes a deep inner sickness of the soul.

Am I just noticing it more or are all these COGs getting weirder and weirder? What with a return to Wadsworth first and other assorted madness, I think all these wannabee Herberts are simply trying to outdo each other with fantastic scenarios. C'mon! That ridiculous book called Revelation is wild enough on it's own. These guys come along and make it ever weirder.

Yes, the unofficial word is it's due to a contest between some ministers to see how far into outrageous misfortune they can push their congregations. The ministers responsible are members of a secretive clique known as Comic-COG.
