Dave Pack ...we ran through a lotta drills which prepared me to see all kinds of things very quickly because I’m so familiar with the Scriptures.


Drill Them With Blindness

 

David C. Pack is willing to exploit the war in Israel for his own gain. He is willing to take to himself the titles belonging to Jesus Christ. He is willing to threaten brethren in The Restored Church of God with an eternal death penalty for doing what he makes a habit of.

 

He is increased with the Campus goods of horses and ceiled houses, so he has need of nothing. He bleeds the brethren with Common, making merchandise of them. He is unteachable, uncorrectable, ever-learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

 

David C. Pack surrounds himself with hirelings who care not for the sheep. Headquarters is a nest of vipers and a den of spiritual thieves. The entire organization is a corrupt tree, bringing forth corrupt fruit by corrupting the word of God.

 

David C. Pack’s vain mouth multiplies words without knowledge. He is proud, knowing nothing. Speaking presumptuously, he walks after the imagination of his own foolish heart about visions that are not from the Lord.

 

There is no fear of God before his eyes.

 

This is not a drill.

 

 

During “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 476)” on October 21, 2023, David C. Pack warmed up the audience with promises of a wild ride.

 

Part 476 – October 21, 2023

@ 00:08 This may be (I don’t think I’ve used this word before) kind of a momentous sermon.

 

Momentous. Kind of.

 

Dave is always excited to present new angles for excusing biblical miscarriages and recycled concepts. 

 

@ 05:22 Now, for eight years, we’ve been doing various drills.

 

@ 05:36 It's been helpful to me, and I've used it in private conversations. But, there are drills we have gone through.

 

Dave is not a proven false prophet. The past ten years have been intentional practice for the big game.

 

@ 06:09 We would come back and look it again. I once called it “trial and error,” but it would it’s almost more of a natural product of doing drills.

 

This must have brought a sigh of relief to field hirelings like Brian Jackson and Larry Cockshutt since they have already long burned through their best buzz phrases to blow off tough questions from concerned members.

 

@ 07:39 So, brethren, in many regards, we ran through a lotta drills. Some of them the same but they would vary slightly. And I can look back now and realize it prepared me to see all kinds of things very quickly because I’m so familiar with the Scriptures.

 

It is too bad he cannot see all kinds of things very accurately. Come on, Dave. Your entire career rests on you accomplishing a singular task, and you cannot get that one tiny little thing right. Have ANYTHING you have said come to pass.

 

But, if David C. Pack were right even once, the entire world would shift on its axis.

 

@ 08:26 So, we're going to look at certain things that we’ve drilled on but never quite seen the way they would apply.

 

This is a fancy way of saying, “This will sound painfully familiar, but don’t worry because I have a slightly different take on old ideas that will pointlessly absorb the sum of your Sabbath and will be irrelevant within seven days.”

 

David soiled himself when a bald eagle circled the Campus for a few minutes. I was disappointed he did not remind brethren that the Giant Eagle supermarket is next door to Headquarters. That was a real point a few years ago.

 

@ 17:42 I should just plant that account in your mind before I tell you why I think that bird came and what I learned in the Scriptures two days before I saw it. And it’s been ten years since I’ve, you know, seen an eagle on Campus.

 

Dave sees his own shadow and knows there will be six more weeks of winter.

 

 

Pastor General David Crowl Pack is not a man of his word. Is that an accusation or observation? Lonnie Hendrix wrote an interesting article for Banned by HWA on that topic.

 

Part 459 – July 15, 2023

@ 1:25:33 And it has struck me from time to time when the Bible seems to pull you toward a particular time (and it does), if you nail that day down, it strikes me as particularly arrogant.

 

Part 474 – October 7, 2023 [The Last Great Day]

@ 1:24:02 So, I don’t know how long we’re gonna go. It’s not my job. I’ve often wondered, Is it my job to explain what the Mystery of God is? There’s nothing that says I foretell a date. I’ve wondered if I should for all the reasons I’ve explained. So, every evidence is Elijah’s about to sound…

 

If his words were true, why are brethren in The Restored Church of God anticipating tomorrow morning?

 

The Kingdom of God Arrives on October 29, 2023

at Sunset in Jerusalem – 9:52 AM ET

 

Part 476 – October 21, 2023

@ 1:09:10 It’s interesting. Before the year begins, before Elijah appears as the Messenger of the Covenant, it says he’s like a refiner’s fire and fullers’ soap before the year began. Have we understood that correctly?

 

You should know the drill by now. When he poses a question that way, the apparent answer is implied.

 

@ 1:13:43 Let’s imagine the Kingdom of God and the Day of the Lord come next Cheshvan 1. That would be November 1 next year [2024]. Let’s just imagine that.

 

Dave transitions from imagining to teaching within twenty minutes. Who could have guessed that a wooden ruler art project would hold the key to determining what “the midst of the years” finally means?



 

@ 1:34:39 Last Cheshvan 1, 2022 (of the first two years) was October 25th. Right here [on ruler]. 2022. Next Cheshvan 1, two years later, is November 1st, 2024.

 

@ 1:36:23 God is saying dead middle right down the center of those two years because now we know it’s after the Feast. So, you gotta go 369 days forward from last October 25th. Or 369 days backward from next November 1st

 

When Dave stood up, the camera was forced to either stare at his crotch or show a sparsely-populated Main Hall on the Sabbath. You can have fun counting the empty chairs.



The only bright side to this picture is that Dr. Ranney is still in town. Maybe he got a reprieve from being cast out of the state alongside Ken Orel. With Ken out of the picture (literally), Jaco Viljoen still gets to be the Headquarters Pastor, which is good news for the local congregation.

 

@ 1:36:45 And you’ll get when it’s game on. Can’t go to another year. Impossible.

 

@ 1:37:06 So, when is the midst of the year? When is it? It’s October 29th. One week from tomorrow morning at sundown in Jerusalem. One week from tomorrow morning. But it's Cheshvan 15. The start of Cheshvan 15.

 

So much for making a declarative statement and holding himself accountable.

 

Part 471 – September 30, 2023

@ 1:43:41 I just don’t know. And I’m not here to tell you the day. I’ll never do it again. I’ll never do it again.

 

Nobody in The Restored Church of God holds David C. Pack accountable. Not for the words he says. Not for the actions he takes.

 

Part 476 – October 21, 2023

@ 1:41:17 So, you can decide if the Goodman eventually came to understand when Christ would come.

 

Considering Dave pushed off and then canceled Part 477 during the week, you can rest assured the brethren of The Restored Church of God have more time. Today, even Dave will have to admit, in some fashion, that he did NOT eventually come to understand when Christ would come. But NOW he does.

 

Despite the RCG philosophy of "It's not a failure, it's a drill, " the countdown timer on exrcg.org will continue even when the winds of doctrine change direction this afternoon.

 

This may be the last time you ever see this visual aid at the table. So, soak it in.


 

 

Dave was still aflutter about the war in Israel being a metric when he let something fall from his lips.

 

@ 10:01 Now, I wanna give you a little bit a news because, obviously, that [Hamas attacking Israel] was almost exactly fifteen days ago. That dawn is gonna turn out to be very important. But some things just developed upstairs right before dinner, and I wanted to talk to you about them.

 

*****

Question: What event occurred at the Headquarters of The Restored Church of God on October 21, 2023, right before dinner?

 

Answer: Sabbath Services.

*****

 

Sabbath Services were in progress right before dinner. Upstairs in the Third Floor Executive Imaginarium is where Dave and his broken lackeys hang out to escape holy convocations because those are not meant for them. Watching the news on the projector screen is more important than obeying God.

 

This is the pattern I witnessed for eight years in the Headquarter's Main Hall. Dave cannot be found so doing during Sabbath Services, but all eyes shall see him at the dining table feeding his face. He skips the Service but not the meal. That is his pattern.

 

Call me a liar, Brad. Oh…sorry. I keep forgetting that Brad no longer reads these ineffective articles.

 

Everyone else, you have two options to consider:

 

1) You can choose to believe that Dave requested Coffee Kid and/or Pepper Boy to go upstairs during Sabbath Services to monitor the news so only they would defy the command of God to assemble on the Sabbath that is even more crucial because they “see the day approaching” while Dave chose to sit at the back of the room, fully aware and present, taking diligent notes from the sermonette and sermon delivered by lesser men so that he could soon review those same notes allowing the spiritual food he desperately needed to be ingrained in his mind.

 

OR

 

2) Dave again blew off the commanded assembly, thumbed his nose at God, saying, "You better give me salvation as I rebel against your Feast" [Part 472 @ 1:02:15], and willfully withdrew himself from a holy convocation that he just threatened brethren with eternal death for doing themselves so he could watch TV and prepare news articles for his kind of momentous message.

 

If you believe the first option, you have not spent any significant time at Headquarters. 

 

 

David C. Pack has wasted the last ten years drilling false ideas into the heads of the brethren. Members of The Restored Church of God are conditioned to believe the road to salvation is paved with false starts, vain repetition, and countless disappointments.

 

They are not practicing drills that will prepare them for the coming of Jesus Christ. They are letting a false prophet presumptuously preach while unimpeded by accountability and enabled by cowardly hirelings.

 

The Bible explains who and what David C. Pack is. The warnings before their eyes are not a drill.

Why do people listen to dave?

Perhaps they have stopped believing, but go there for their friends and family and because they think they need to attend services somewhere and the other options seem just as bad.

This is the most likely scenario. I've seen it and talked to people in other splinter groups who are doing just that. I've heard "I'm just there for my wife", statements like that. Not that they stopped believing truth and the word of God, but we're just sick and tired of these charlatans and ready to exit when their significant other finally comes around, and or their other family.

If this is a dick measuring contest Davey should start using nanometers instead of a ruler. The man is softer than a down pillow.

Nah. He's like the mad scientist or nutty professor who talks the good talk, and always has the answers. He gave the secret away when he mentioned being so familiar with the scriptures. That's what makes people trust him. In fact that's the whole secret to the credibility of the entire Armstrong movement. The leaders appear to know everything, but are proven to know nothing by the actual results.

Oh wow,
a record number of empty seats
He's now down to less than a dozen hard core groupies!

Why should we expect different?
- the parent cult collapsed and its lavish campus was hacked up and sold off-

It's insanity to keep working this same formula and expect different results...

Didn't Jim Jones "drill" his followers down in Guyana with suicide drills??

Anonymous said...

WOW! That picture of the auditorium really shows how many people he's lost. I wonder how he is able to pay the bills? Anyone know how many baptized members are left nationwide?

"Drills = "My deviant theology and failed prophetic bullshit"

"Drills" is just another way Dave gets around the painful reality he can never come to admit. "I have been wrong for years now and attending Church has been, and will continue to be, a complete waste of time."

Phinnpoy said...

Yes Tonto, Jim Jonrs did have drills so his followers would be used to the routine of committing suicide. Sadly, it worked all to well. Let's hope Pack's drills don't lead to a similar fate for his followers.

Just before its collapse, Tkach pumped millions and millions and millions into "Ambassador University" (stupid)

Did he expect us to pay the salaries of all those professors he hired for the new accredited University? As well as the big secret Pasadena salaries?

Didn't work out did it Tkach: had to fire all the new expensive staff and dump the real estate!

Some great real estate bargains coming up in Wadsworth, including that stupid upside-down Admin Bldg!
