We have all witnessed over the years the intense bullying that Dave Pack does towards all those under his command. From the church members who suffered under him in Akron and other cities where he kept getting transferred, to his members, employees, and ministers of his new superfantabulous Restored Church of God.
We have watched over the years as his group of 16 men from his headquarters rubber stamp all of his actions and prophecies. None of these men have the testicular fortitude to speak up and confront his lies and abuse. They sit there and watch members ruin their lives selling homes and possessions in order to send Dave their money. They sit there as Dave wrecks families and marriages. They are men with no integrity, ethics, or morals. They are all spiritually bankrupt.
Pack has on occasion voluntold his minister to receive pay cuts, then tell the Church they are of one heart and mind and are willing to take pay cuts, to disagree means your out of a job.
Meanwhile, those same ministers afraid to protest the pay cuts, are already struggling to take care of their families. They are endeared to this man. They fear to lose their Jobs as they have already given much up and if they disagree they fear their good character/Personality traits which are all they have left will be completely bashed to the entire church by Pack.
Pack has laid off huge numbers who sold houses and assets to move and work for the HQ. These people have nothing to go back to, not even family who they completely shrugged off thinking they'd work at HQ until the return of Christ and fix family issues later when their minds would be opened to the truth.
He personally bullies his ministers and criticizes them for having fine things, especially if he does not have them. He bashes them for having excess. When in reality anything that they get for themselves is not excess but a much-deserved treat considering the huge pay cuts.
These ministers are not motivated by love to take care of the flock, they are moved by fear of man to correct and keep in line the people.
If you so much as act like a Berean and at some point question his preachings even as a minister you will see the worst side of him. He occassionaly boasts to the entire church that all of the minister agree with dates he sets or phrophecies he unlocks. He never apologizes for error because to apologize means that he gives people the power to discredit him.
Dave's members and ministers are in a type of vise (English spelling vice) that Dave keeps tightening.
ReplyDeleteMatthew 5:22
ReplyDeleteBut I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, “Raca,” is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell."
Interpretation:
"We see that calling a “brother” “Raca,” ie “empty-headed,” is a lesser charge of competence, and is still a liability that the Sanhedrin would be responsible for determining, but to call a “brother” a “Fool,” ie “hopeless,” (see Proverbs for a definition of a fool) is to curse someone to the point that they are unable to take on a status of one who obeys the commandments of G-d in the eyes of one calling them such – ie they declare that such a person is not a believer and is hopelessly unable to become one – and thus by implication and application is reasoned as not a “brother,” and not capable of being a “brother”, in the eyes of one calling them a “fool.”"
Now...that being said: David C Pack, as a pastor, minister, Shepherd and "Helper of
their joy" is an empty headed Racca and a hopeless fool extraordinaire and I am angry with him and dislike the man for his decades of self absorbed abuse now grown worse than ever as I was told 25 years ago would happen if they just kept moving him around without confronting his arrogant narcissism. Any questions?
....however and too....I don't consider him a brother in anything, so lets me off the hook with Gospel Jesus.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love that "christian love" that shines out the back side of Mr. Pack....
ReplyDeleteThis guy is just insufferable! Let's put it this way. If there had been a chapter in his autobiography about his ten most memorable farts, that chapter would have been better and more edifying than his entire ministry. Temporary extreme odor is much less devastating than a ruined life.

If you are a minister in Dave's church, do yourself a favor and start taking some correspondence courses or online college courses in accounting, or auto repair, law or whatever. Heck, take the Truck Masters School of Trucking course at night, and get your license. Do something so that Pack cannot hang you out to dry when he threatens and then does fire you!
ReplyDeleteStart saving some money and squirrel it away, forget about the "common thing" for any minister in Packs church has a very limited employment future.

ReplyDeleteJust like the PCG where they actually told the members that things were going to get more and more strict. There was no scripture provided which justified this. It was just their way of getting tighter and tighter control over every little aspect of your life. It was all about the PCG telling you exactly what to do, to the point you had next to no decision making of your own, and therefore could not build any character, because character as Herbie defined it included the ability to make sound and Godly decisions of your own free will. PCG members were to became automatons without character, and yet, when we started in the WCG, character building was supposed to be the whole purpose of life.

ReplyDeleteGod is a God of independence and self responsibility. Self responsibility is inherent in the parable of the talents. I've noticed that other organisations such as the JW (according to dissidents) and Focus on the Family are becoming more tyrannical as well. For instance, one article on the Focus on the family web site tells married couples to immediately tell their mate if they are a attracted to a member of the opposite sex (a God given involuntary reaction). How patronising and demeaning is that. 'Mummy, mummy, I felt attraction to a woman. Keep an eye on me so that I don't get up to no good.'
Increasing tyranny within Christianity seems to be a trend.
It is true, ministers are a revolving door at RCG. The only problem for Dave is that any that were remotely good, are now gone. His new recruits are younger and younger, but also, in a way for him that is good, because they know nothing except allegiance to him.

ReplyDeleteMany years ago, the holy spirit spoke into my mind the words "the ministers are trying to get the best positions in the kingdom by crippling the minds of church members."
So traitorous murderous ministers do not want members to build character.
Satan doesn't have a monopoly on murder.
He bullies his children too, they have all left him to try to have a normal life. His wife 16 years younger, former live in nurse as ho previous wife laid dying in the house because of inadequate, late medical care; that wife number 2 now is bullied by him. He frowns, waves his arms around getting his hands way to close to the face, he is a bully. Someone should help him understand what it feels like to be bullied.
