From a reader:
Since there is 22 symptoms listed (see RCG's David C Pack Is Finally Diagnosed) and the statement that there is more that could be identified, we could presumably conclude there is at least 30 symptoms being exhibited at all times throughout this last seven years.
If we take this list of symptoms and create an interplay with Dave Pack's "famous" sermon; Thirty Reasons To Follow The Truth, a stark dichotomy is exposed which if one were to continue to follow Dave Pack then that very same "truth" becomes dead.
Dave Pack in his sickness actually trashed his own renowned sermon defining the "truth". How?
In his 1993 sermon he concretely established that the "truth" was not tied explicitly to any man. Fast forward to 2015 and Dave Pack took 20 minutes to open a sermon (as a way to mitigate member departures) and explained that Christ as head of the church working through his apostle to establish doctrine is the basis of belief and therefore his next statement detailed the required response of the member. He said: "If you don't believe and obey all that the church teaches - you are a heretic who will go into the lake of fire."
If we go back to the same 1993 sermon, Dave Pack detailed that the "truth" was never tied to the four walls of any entity. He even quoted Herbert Armstrong who said; "if the "truth" ever ceases to be taught HERE for any reason, then we will just walk across the street and start all over."
From 2015 unto the present Dave has redefined WHERE the truth is. He emphatically stated that once a person proves what the "truth" is (in a church setting) and becomes baptized (in a church setting), that person forever forfeits the ability to question church doctrine and they no longer have the freedom to leave that same church. In both those instances, a person taking either or both pathes will lose their salvation according to Dave. He has numerous times reinforced this now mandatory belief by stating that salvation is explicitly tied to identifying WHERE the "truth" is being taught.
Dave Pack has stated the Greatest Story Never Told is all about finally establishing what the true gospel really is and it all about how salvation will come to be. The sick Dave Pack has firmly established that the true gospel message is nothing but a message about himself and the sick Dave Pack has firmly established that salvation comes from believing and obeying the words that come from the four walls of a building in Wadsworth, Ohio.
Thirty reasons not to follow a sick man is easy to see. I would say there would be 60 and 90 reasons to not follow a very sick man. That is a direct inference to Dave Pack's second and third most famous sermons; Sixty and Ninety reasons To Follow The "Truth".
So what does Dave Pack really believe today? Should we even care what a sick man would give as an answer? It would after all having nothing to do with the "truth". What About The Truth
LOTS OF REASONS TO BEWARE OF DAVID C. PACK
ReplyDeleteBack when David C. Pack was in the Global Church of Rod and first came out with his 30 + 30 + 30 = 90 Reasons To Follow The Truth (out of the apostate Worldwide Church of God) sermons, for some reason I couldn't help thinking that if he had given these sermons years earlier they might have been called something like 30 + 30 + 30 = 90 Reasons To Never Ever Leave The Worldwide Church of God, Incorporated Organization No Matter What.
Dave Pack sounded much better in the earlier years, but that was just to sucker people into complete, total, utter nonsense later on. None of Dave Quack's changing doctrines, or unreasonable reasons, or illogical logic, or failing proofs, or wrong date guesses, ever worked out well at all. Dave Quack has worse-than-wasted people's time and money for almost three decades with his ongoing noise. What a pain in the ears!
God just turned the thermostat up a few more degrees to prepare for Dave's impending arrival.
ReplyDeleteHWAs "if the truth ceases to be taught here, we will walk across the street and start again" is similar to his "I never compromised with God's truth one ittsy-bittsy bit" when in fact he ran his church as an abusive cult. It's him using his marketing skills to give credibility to all his lies and half truths.
ReplyDeletePacks' "once you join this church, you never question church doctrine," is not new. I listened to a WWCG tape with the same claim. To them, "prove all things" applies before baptism, but ceases after baptism.
It's like any abusive relationship. There's the initial love bombing, then the endless abuse.
Twist of Fate
ReplyDeletePeople originally went to Dave Pack's Restored Church because he was going to help them to hold on faithfully to all the truth that they had been taught in the Worldwide Church of God by Herbert W. Armstrong.
Now, people in the Restored Church are expected to mindlessly believe whatever new lies and nonsense Dave Pack made up last week, and whatever new lies and nonsense Dave Pack made up this week, and whatever new lies and nonsense Dave Pack will make up next week.
It looks like Restored Church members are now far worse off than the people who did not even try to hold on to anything.
