Warnings From A False Prophet By Elizabeth O’Leary-Noble




Warnings From A False Prophet

By Elizabeth O’Leary-Noble

 

It's been almost seven months since I left The Restored Church of God, led by Pastor General David C. Pack.

 

My life after has been freeing, explorative, liberating, and restorative (almost). I feel like a bird flying for the first time. It sounds corny, but that's literally how I feel. I can spread my wings to fly and be myself. I’m not worrying about how my wings look, how long they are, what color they are, or how I'm flying and where I'm going. I was losing who I was in that place.

 

But sadly, part of me still struggles to work through the anger, hurt, and betrayal I feel toward The Restored Church of God. The process has been a journey that's intertwined with my fathers' death. For better context, I suggest you read my Exit Letter first.

 

 

There was an incident with my father that happened before I entered RCG. I vividly remember my dad telling me about a book he read and mentioning it at Sabbath Services amongst brethren. A minister overheard him, or more accurately, a minister eavesdropped, covertly listening in. You know they have to "shepherd the flock” by making sure everyone is in line. *insert eye-roll here* I wasn't a member yet, but I can tell you it upset my dad greatly. It further affected his already failing health.

 

My dad was an avid reader. He loved reading, and he loved learning. I am the same way. He taught me to read everything I could get my hands on. Educate yourself on big things, little things, and even silly things. He always said that I would be able to mingle with any crowd. 

 

My dad was suspended from RCG for mentioning a book at Sabbath Services. Yep. A grown man isn't allowed to read or mention certain books to other brethren. Ridiculous right? What is more ridiculous is that the minister who suspended him NEVER read it. So he had no clue what it was about. The book’s title is The Bible Code. How can a "minister of God" have a legitimate reason for suspending a member over a book he never read? Easily.

 

 

When you have an agenda that pressures members to keep giving more money to the church, you have to fiercely protect that cash flow. This unbiblical doctrine in The Restored Church of God is known as “Common.” (Marc Cebrian has spoken and written about it.)

 

They feared my dad would cause others to falter, go off into other doctrines, or possibly leave the church. You know, for mentioning reading anything other than RCG material. Even if the minister had read the book, it wouldn’t have mattered.

 

Why was the burden put on my dad of how others "weak in the faith" might be shaken by mentioning other reading materials? We're not to place a stumbling block in front of our brothers and sisters, but he casually talked about a book he was reading. God says to prove all things and to fear GOD with fear and trembling. That's the responsibility of each individual.

 

RCG's Ambassador Center claimed it presented students with "a well-rounded education." Taking that same principle, how can anyone further their knowledge without researching topics in other areas? Oh, wait. RCG controls which knowledge is worthy of inclusion.

 

My father was just reading a book he found interesting. That’s all. How often has David C. Pack mentioned other religions, reading up on them and telling brethren what they believe? Plenty of times, but only because he's the all-knowing guru of faiths in the world. (That was sarcasm, by the way).

 

The Restored Church of God is in the money-making business to live comfortably off the backs of its members. And they've been succeeding at that for years. Well, for the most part. DCP just announced layoffs at their Headquarters in Wadsworth, Ohio.

 

 

My father got very sick due to stress during the weeks of his suspension. RCG also has a strict policy that no one can talk to a member while they are suspended. This is to enhance “the sting” of separation.

 

Imagine being suspended for mentioning a book and then being completely cut off from your church "friends.” Friends who constantly said they loved and cared about you and hugged you every time they saw you, and now there is not a phone call, a text…nothing. Imagine how stressful this was on my mother. Who, by the way, took care of my dad every day and drove to Services with him. All of this over a book.

 

He never was the same after that whole ordeal. His health deteriorated further. This is where my anger, hurt, and heartbreak stem from as I reflect on this. I can't get that time back with my dad. I want to tell him so badly how wrong he was about David C. Pack. I want to tell him how they twist verses, steal money from members, and use fear tactics to keep members staying put. And I want to rip out half the flower beds, knock down a tree or two, and then ride off on one of the stupid horses.

 

I can't believe I still joined that place after all of that. I guess I felt a tug to be in the same place my dad was in after he died, along with the fact I felt God was directing me to go down that path. I needed to know where my dad went spiritually. So yeah, I've been taking one day at a time to recover from that profound hurt.

 

Everything since has been a wonderful process of unlearning the lies and relearning the truths God is showing me!

 

 

This is the real purpose of this article. I do it hoping that some members of The Restored Church of God can receive what others have gone through. Maybe some have experienced similar situations but are confused. If you still trust David C. Pack, then hear the words of David C. Pack.

 

I went into my closet a few days ago and pulled out some old notes and RCG literature I had not yet burned. One of those items is the book Is “That Prophet” Alive Today? The Rise of False Prophetswritten by David C. Pack. It was my last “line in the sand” before leaving RCG. And just after reading only two chapters.




This book was removed from RCG’s library after David C. Pack proclaimed he was Elijah the Prophet in 2015. Hmm. Interesting. This book should now be of particular interest since he has reaffirmed he is a prophet and Elijah on June 6, 2023.



I re-read some of that book's more interesting chapters and want to share them.

 

After revisiting a few more chapters, I am again mind-blown at what David C. Pack wrote. It's amazing how God uses humans to play out His plan for humanity. DCP wrote the book to answer Gerald Flurry of The Philadelphia Church of God. But in actuality, DCP wrote about his own downfall years in advance. I highly recommend you read this book.

 

If you would like a copy, you can download it HERE.

 

Brethren still sitting in RCG, please heed these warnings.

 

 

Chapter 8: A False Christ – Christ Gives Offices-Men Cannot Take Them (pp. 54–56)

"Men truly chosen of God are always able to LOOK BACK over the years to see how God has used them. They do not need to invent reasons why they WILL hold a particular office, and then take it to themselves. The reader must see the tremendous difference between one who is truly GIVEN an office by Jesus Christ, and a man who is a presumptuous, self-promoting IMPOSTER who sees one or more offices and titles that he desires, declares himself to have these offices and roles, and then sets out to prove to others that he does.

 

Where in scripture did Christ tell us there would be a new apostle, messenger, Elijah, or prophet? If you can find it, please share.

 

"The critical element that separates those to whom Christ gives an office is HUMILITY. The man would have never thought of himself as holding a high office until long after he was already doing the job. The one who takes offices on his own authority is driven by VANITY, which eventually always turns into EXTREME ARROGANCE and worse. The latter is a person who was seeking to exalt himself. This is either because he is not, or was never, humble.”

 

Raise your hand if you think David C. Pack is arrogant. The man talks about himself nonstop, is always boastful, and is never humble. Anyone can easily see this in his sermons. Satan also wanted to exalt himself above God.

 

Isaiah 14:13

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north.

 

Pay attention to what DCP writes about in this next section! It gave me goosebumps!

 

"Even in the world, ‘ignorance of the law’ is never permitted as a valid defense. It has been my experience that only very, very rarely will—or can—one return to a sound mind after going even remotely this far. Only God can heal a mind gone so far wrong—but even then only if the man truly yields himself and submits to God as clay to the Potter!

 

“Demons want to be considered the saviors of the world. Demons want to rule the earth as king of kings...Demons (specifically Satan) want to be considered the mighty god (‘of this world’– II Corinthians 4:4). Similarly, demons are generally aware of prophecy.

 

Did you read that, brethren? Go re-read it! 

 

Hold on. There are more chilling statements...

 

“A demon spirit would love to be considered That Prophet—and would love to influence a human vessel to this end. Appropriating that title to itself, through a human agent, is very attractive to a demon—especially if it could gain control of many of God’s people in the process!

 

WOW! Are any of these words shocking you yet? 

 

“From a demon’s perspective, the worst possible thing that these followers can be exposed to is the Spirit of God within those outside his group who are able to see how wrong-headed is the thinking of the leader they are using. This is also another way that fear is being used in the ever more dangerous cult environment that such false prophets create. They want their followers to be afraid to talk to ‘outsiders.’ These false leaders know that knowledge dispensed outside their control is a threat to their ability to retain control. Hence, the implementation of what could only be called the tragic policy of forbidding followers all contact with members of other ‘Church of God’ organizations.”

 

I’ll add that this also applies to current members. This is why they indoctrinate and brainwash everyone to not speak to any members after they leave RCG.

 

 

Chapter 10: Taking Action – Attacking His Flock (p. 66)

“Anyone claiming to be That Prophet, The Lawgiver, “Father,” etc., has literally attacked his flock with blasphemy and rank idolatry. Like any cult leader, his only possible objective is to seek ever greater adoration and worship—and that may currently include you!

 

“Such a one is an outright antichrist! This cannot be viewed any other way. The Bible is plain that there have always been “many,” and this is still true today (I John 2:18).

 

“Christ determines who is a Philadelphian and who, therefore, goes to the Place of Safety… But it is blasphemous and abominable for any man to tell you that he has your “ticket to the Place of Safety…” This is the classic fear hysteria that David Koresh, Jim Jones, and Marshal Applewaite (San Diego Heaven’s Gate cult) used to elevate themselves and lead people to their death!

 

“Such claims are very serious business!" 

 

David C. Pack preaches that members will NOT receive salvation if they leave The Restored Church of God. That is a lie straight from Satan. Show me in Scripture where God states human beings will only receive salvation if they attend the church based in Wadsworth, Ohio. You will never find it. 

 

 

More goosebumps.

 

Chapter 11: Source of Persecution? (p. 69)

"I have become convinced that some of the final greatest persecution, prophesied to come on God’s people at the end, will be driven by the cult-leader mentality of certain splinter leaders… But it may be that the bizarre, absurd, odd and strange actions of many brethren, and certain particularly unsound and unbalanced leaders, claiming to follow the truth, will be one reason that Christ’s true disciples will eventually be “hated of all nations for My name’s sake” (Matt. 24:9)—and will be pursued by an army described in Revelation 12:17! Surely, it is false Christs and false prophets who exhibit the very worst of strange, cult-like behavior!”

 

Do you hear these words from David C. Pack? He is speaking to YOU, brethren of The Restored Church of God! Your Pastor General is that cult leader exhibiting " the very worse of strange, cult-like behavior!"

 

This next paragraph is "The pot calling the kettle black." I couldn't believe what I was reading.

 

Chapter 11: Source of Persecution? – Zealous People (p. 70, 2008 Edition)

"In recent years, I have known many who left the imposter who calls himself That Prophet. Sadly, so many of these have been virtually ruined by their time in his organization. They were so violated and abused, and witnessed so much attack, slander and accusation of others from their leaders that, in many cases, they now seem no longer able to remember how a Christian is to conduct himself, even in the most basic matters. It has been painful and truly heart-rending to hear of so many who were torn to pieces over their dilemma before leaving.”

 

My mouth dropped open when I read this. I had to re-read it a few times. I cannot tell you how many ex-members I have spoken to feel exactly what he stated here. But most are thriving since leaving RCG. I feel all of this and more.

 

I had to laugh when I read that last line of his paragraph. He is a cold-hearted wolf in sheep's clothing. He only cares about members' wallets. That’s it. 

 

 

I am continuing to heal with the help of a supportive family and friends. If only David C. Pack, the RCG ministry, and brethren could see how "torn to pieces" I was "over our/my dilemma before leaving." It would be shocking to most.

 

We/I weren't given that time, though. We got shut down when questioning anything. And then got reprimanded, suspended, slandered, spiritually abused, or disfellowshipped. Most are afraid to openly share because members are taught to be spies—loyal to David C. Pack and his ever-changing false teachings.

 

DCP makes fun of, lambasts, and yells during his sermons when speaking about ex-members. There are plenty of video clips on this YouTube channel if you want to see it yourself.

 

Section II, Matthew 24 – The Rise of False Prophets – The Role of Pride (p. 80)

“When such suddenly-elevated leaders give themselves over to urges of ‘new understanding,’ they are actually completing the cycle of ‘falling into the condemnation of the devil.’ Too unskilled in the scriptures (particularly passages about prophecy) to resist the ‘deeper insights’ they feel are coming to them, they wind up yielding to demonic whisperings in their ears. As these men become conduits for fallen spirits, they pour out pure garbage on their followers.

 

This perfectly describes over seven years of "The Greatest Untold Story!"

 

The result is that they destroy far more people than just themselves— and in the end they do always destroy themselves!”

 

There you have it. The warning from a false prophet about a false prophet. The Pastor General of The Restored Church of God has spoken the truth here. It’s about time.

 

Are you listening, brethren? This should make you sit up straight. How many times has DCP come to a "new understanding?" He pours out PURE GARBAGE on all the members of The Restored Church of God. 

 

 

Chapter 11: Source of Persecution? – “That Prophet” Is Alive Today! (p. 71)

“Understand. You are the captain of your own ship. You must determine where you will steer it. You must point it toward God... Be willing to help your friends do the same. Take a moment to read James 5:19-20, Galatians 6:1-2, Proverbs 24:11-12 and Jude 21-23. They will encourage and inspire you to help others save themselves from the deadly trap described in what you have just learned." 

 

Do not let fear rule you!

 

James 5:19-20

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

 

Galatians 6:1-2

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

 

Proverbs 24:11-12

If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

 

Jude 21-23

Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

 

Brethren, I sincerely pray you will take every word written here to heart. Read your Bible. Read the words of David C. Pack. I don't wish any bad for anyone still attending The Restored Church of God.

 

I am trying to do my part to help you, just as other ex-members are. You are not alone. If I was still stuck in a false church, I would want my friends to warn me repeatedly, pray for me, and help me see the light.

 

May God have mercy on you, guide you, and bless you.

The Great Bwana Mzungu to Africa Bob Thiel Is Deliberately Trying To Provoke Europeans With His So-called "sermons"

 

The new European Union HQ, Brussels Belgium

This is where the persecution against 
The Great Bwana Mzungu to Africa and 100 Caucasians will emanate from...
once they hear his astounding message and witness his hands and arms flapping.


The Great Bwana Mzungu to Africa and 100 Caucasians is bragging today to his African followers and a few others about his renewal of a one-year contract with a shortwave am radio station in Europe. Notice what he says below:

Although shortwave is not used much in North America, it reportedly has hundreds of millions of listeners around the world. Radio is a proclamation door that we use to reach those we otherwise would not reach. 
 
As I mentioned to Steve Dupuie this month, I believe that being on radio in Europe is part of The Final Phase of the Work. When we see certain prophecies fulfilled and are identifying the upcoming European Beast leader in leading some of those efforts, it is my opinion that being on radio in places like Europe will be key for attention to be drawn to the Continuing Church of God (CCOG). 
 
I believe that being on European radio may be the spark that will set off more public scrutiny of the CCOG and our teachings. That will lead to more people looking at our websites as well as the hundreds of languages that of our The Gospel of the Kingdom of God has been translated into–and we received 32 additional translations yesterday! The coming scrutiny of our teachings will lead not only to support the fulfillment of Matthew 24:14, but also events in Daniel 11:28-35 and other scriptures. 

No, it won't! The Great Bwana Mzungu to Africa is no more going to start the end times sequence than Jesus will return to Wadsworth to sup with Dave.

Does that make sense to you? 

If you are a Philadelphian Christian, it should.

Apparently, the Europeans will be so ASTOUNDED by his sermons that they will not know what to do...other than lash out, of course. 

The prophet Habakkuk was inspired to write:

5 Look among the nations and watch —
Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days
Which you would not believe, though it were told you. (Habakkuk 1:5)

The Great Bwana Mzungu to Africa then goes on to add:

This was also quoted in the New Testament: 
 
40 Beware therefore, lest what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you: 41 ‘Behold, you despisers, Marvel and perish! For I work a work in your days, A work which you will by no means believe, Though one were to declare it to you.'” (Acts 13:40-41)

This is no more speaking about The Great Bwana Mzungu to Africa and his so-called "work" than it did to Herbert Armstong'x work. Additionally, The Great Bwana Mzungu to Africa's so-called "work" is so widely mocked because it is grounded upon narcissism and appalling legalism.

Let him try and provoke the Europeans, that way we get to watch his childish meltdown over the suppression of his so-called "gospel" and other nonsense. They will be more offended by all the chair bouncing and hand and arm flapping than anything he has to say.

Dave Pack: "You have my permission to pray Mr. Pack botched this"


 


The Great Excuse Maker

 

David C. Pack began The Restored Church of God Ministerial Conference by changing the length of the First Kingdom to Israel from ten days to one month. Again. He opened the five-day event by reversing what he said in the previous message earlier in the week.

 

This set the tone for the entire Ministerial Conference, and it would not be the last time he had to flip-flop in front of a room full of visitors. Within the first ten minutes of the first message on the first day, he launched into a belabored laundry list of feeble excuses for why he was wrong, yet again.

 

The opening message introduces the theme of the Conference every year. And the topics during “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 448, Part 1)” on June 11, 2023, sure fit the bill.

 

The official theme of the 2023 Restored Church of God Ministerial Conference was “Great Changes Create Greater Disappointments Followed By The Greatest Excuses.” Be sure to let Ken Orel know which T-shirt size you need to order before he heads off to Atlanta.

 

One of the benefits of being a chronic narcissist is the ability to make paper-thin excuses while still managing to sprinkle praise throughout. Watching Dave explain what went wrong with his teachings while also emphasizing glowing spin is like discovering a long dog turd covered in powdered sugar.

 

Dave knows what it is made of but tries to present it with sweetened verbal trickery. No matter what the Pastor General tells you he is feeding you…DO NOT EAT IT.

 

 


David C. Pack is a master manipulator using words of greasy sophistry.

 

Part 448, Part 1 – June 11, 2023

@ 11:10 This one year. And frankly, as wonderful as the one year was to learn about, it threw me in a way I didn't realize was happening, and I was rushing to put together this amazing knowledge…What happened to the initional initial month that somehow became 10 days?

 

He frequently uses the slippery technique of disassociating his role in creating the doctrines he now backs away from.

 

@ 11:54 What happened to the month? How did it become 10 days? ...essentially, I didn't throw out what I said three days before. All these wonderful points from [Part] 446…But it was very clear.

 

Very clear? Try very wrong. But that is a minor detail.

 

@ 12:17 With the 10 and 7 days, the way it looked like I was correctly reading the very end of Daniel 9…I could only conclude that the month had to fit at the end of the year. From the 1290 to the 1260 before the 7-Year Kingdom. That's not true. I'll show you what I discovered. That's not true.

 

What he discovered in a previous message was not true. He said so twice. What he just discovered is what he was excited about. Too bad that discovery also turned out to be untrue by the end of the Conference.

 

@ 13:00 And I wanna show you the error because in learning the error, you'll learn more about the year.

 

Dave is failing his way into success, just as Stephen Covey always taught.

 

@ 13:10 I was learning big things fast. I was working on multiple projects, still trying to figure out if Elijah rose first, and had missed other powerful things about the Acceptable Year of the Lord….by the time I'm done today, we're gonna not only re-identify the month, I believe we can now conclusively tell you which month it is. But the timing and the trial and error and the hit and miss has been resolved.

 

Nothing has been resolved. Do not think we missed it when Tammuz 1 (June 20) failed, Dave.

 

The one-month period of Part(s) 448 became three months before it was thrown out to become some vague “Sixth Head” period at the conclusion of the Conference. The prophetic landscape continues to evolve, with Parts 453, 454, and 455 still resting in my ToDo folder.



@ 13:44 The 10 days and 7 years and 1 year to the Great Day of the Lord and placement of a chag and caused the difficulty…trying to examine a flurry of the greatest events ahead that we had not seen before. That was the difficulty.

 

Prophecy is hard. Dave should leave it to the experts. Or better yet, leave it to a true prophet of God.

 

After each sentence, I could pause, laugh, and point out the ridiculousness. This went on and on and on through the Conference. He really did set the theme with his frail linguistic contortions. How those enablers managed to sit and listen to Dave talk like this for five days straight is a testimony to the lack of discernment and wisdom in The Restored Church of God ministry.

 

 

David C. Pack loves to tempt God as there is no fear of God before his eyes.

 

Pre-Conference Part 447 – June 6, 2023

@ 1:56:16 10-1-7-1000 is immutable. I will die on that hill. That’s the hill I die on. There's no way the Scriptures change, or the Sabbath can change.

 

Come on, Dave. Even a cat only has NINE lives.

 

Part 448, Part 1 – June 11, 2023

@ 58:07 1-1-7-1000. You can book it. Don’t ever be challenged again.

 

David C. Pack challenged this again by changing one month to three months. And then altered it again.

 

Part 451, Part 2 – June 14, 2023

@ 24:39 But, now, with this three months kind of resetting everything, I mean, you talk about Etch-A-Sketch in terms of our timing. We’re right on track per what God was gonna do. It's just God has inserted in front of us two months we could never pin down. We didn’t see.

 

@ 37:16 It all fits perfectly. Perfectly. It’s exquisite. It’s tight.

 

David C. Pack credits God with the discovery of the exquisite three-month period that fits perfectly. If that were true, why did this vital knowledge last less than 24 hours?

 

Part 452 – June 15, 2023

03:44 Are we waiting two months for a one-month kingdom? Or are we waiting three months for a one-year kingdom? What? Or are we waiting one month for a one-year kingdom? Or four days for a one month for a one-year kingdom? "Mr. Pack, you threw in one year there instead of a short kingdom.” I know. You know, one of the problems that has plagued me, I’d like to think it’s humility [chuckles], but I’ve been unable to get myself to believe we would actually lead the world for an entire year…

 

Dave chuckled when he mentioned his humility. Even he does not buy it. That portion of his comments has been isolated if you care to hear it.



@ 10:01 We’re gonna come to grips with a powerful reality. And, I mean, it's inescapable. There is no way to escape what I’m gonna tell you. And I finally come to grips with it.

 

@ 17:27 I wonder if we’re literally waiting for a King and followed by a kingdom.

 

This is how to slide from three months to a vague, undetermined “Sixth King” period. It would spoil the punch line if I told you David C. Pack now teaches the Sixth Head of Revelation 17 is Vladimir Putin. Shush. Do not tell anyone. We will save that for another time.

 

 

It is bad enough when Dave swears on his own life, but he goes on to swear on the lives of the brethren.

 

Part 448, Part 1 – June 11, 2023

@ 53:34 I don’t want any lingering in the back of anybody’s mind the idea that the whole thing is 10 days or 7 days. I wanna clear the deck that that picture is absolutely right. And this is the hill ya die on.

 

David C. Pack is like the guy who wants to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. He convinces a friend to jump with him. Once they reach the top, Dave tells him, “Hey, you go first.” The friend jumps and quickly realizes Dave is not behind him. The last thing the fool hears as he falls is Dave shouting, “I changed my mind.”

 

Any foolish members of The Restored Church of God who privately accepted Dave’s challenge to believe the one-month must have felt that bucket of ice water poured over them when he changed it three days later. But maybe not. They also must not care when he is irreverent with God.

 

Part 448, Part 1 – June 11, 2023

@ 58:13 We pretty much had it settled until God threw us this extraordinary curveball of that year and the anointing of God Almighty by all Israel…and His incredible power and love allows them to do it.

 

So, having a death wish is no problem. Error being the only pathway to truth is no problem.

 

Part 448, Part 1 – June 11, 2023

@ 58:30 And that threw me. We’re, you know, been trial and error. Then, hit and miss and, occasionally, piecemeal.

 

Claiming to be Elijah the Prophet now is no problem.

 

Pre-Conference Part 447 – June 6, 2023

@ 2:02:42 Now, the fact that He’s revealing this to me, I have to be a prophet…I have to be Elijah now.

 

Setting dates that will fail is no problem.

 

Part 450 Part 1 – June 13, 2023

@ 20:56 Nobody could ever convince me the Father doesn’t come on Av 1 [July 18 at sunset].

 

Part 450 Part 2 – June 13, 2023

@ 10:56 You could never ever ever move me from believing the Kingdom of God is not Av 1.

 

Then what could possibly move people out of The Restored Church of God?

 

Part 450, Part 2 – June 13, 2023

@ 35:52 What I’m gonna tell ya here, I hope, is wrong. Okay? I’ma just state it…I hope it is absolutely wrong. But, if I’m gonna be a wise and faithful servant, I hafta tell ya what I think is right, and you have every right if you’ve got any brains in you (and you all do), pray I’m wrong. It’s okay. You have my permission to pray Mr. Pack botched this.

 

Nobody needs to pray for that. Of course, he botched it. Then will come the world-class excuses from The Great Excuse Maker, David C. Pack.

Our Great Bwana to Africa has been working overtime to claim that many of those who left his co-called "continuing" Church of God in Africa have now returned to his glorious one true flock. However, since this is the Great Bwana speaking, you need to take most of what he says with a grain of salt. Things are never quite what they look like on the surface.

Our greatest Prophet Of Possibilities, is getting hoodwinked big-time; it's been reported that John Machemba of Mwanza Center has left Hope of Israel Worldwide Church of God and joined back with CCOG. This is TOTALLY FALSE as Radson Mulozowa is in deep s### now that he doesn't have congregations to get the Big Feast Funds that are going to soon be given by the Great Muzungu Bob Thiel.

FYI: What is the meaning of the word Mzungu or Muzungu? According to Wikipedia:

Mzungu is the southern, central and eastern African term for a person of foreign descent. Literally translated it means “someone who roams around aimlessly” or “aimless wanderer” (from the Swahili and Ganda words).

And this definition:

The word mzungu comes from Kiswahili, where zungu or zunguka is the word for spinning around on the same spot. Kizunguzungu is Kiswahili for dizziness. The term is now used to refer to "someone with white skin" or "white skin", but can be used to refer to all foreigners more generally.

Mzungu is a perfect description of Bwana Bob. Ever since he was cast into outer darkness by Rod Meredith when he was kicked out of the Living Church of God, the Great Bwana has been wandering aimlessly trying to use dreams, so-called double blessings, and literature counts as means of justification for the existence of his little cult. But, try as he might, in spite of all the photo ops being sent from Africa, most of the brethren there have no idea who he is other than being the white Overseer from America trying to save them. Only the money grubbers who continually rake in profits from Bwana Bob, COG7, SDA's, and other Sabbatarian groups that are the quickest to open their wallets, truly know who he is.

Let's continue:

The Only Congregation that CCOG has is Chileka Center, and they only stayed with them to get the Iron Sheets to roof their Church. We should know as Hope of Israel Worldwide Church of God met the Leadership of Chileka and this plan was in play back in May of this year. 
 
This False Report was reported by Master Witch Doctor apprentice so called Evangelist Evan Ochieng in Thiels June 15 th Letter to the Brethren. Master Evans and his mini-me minion Radson Mulozowa are in Deep Panic mode as 95% of CCOG in Malawi have abandoned ship and jumped over to Hope of Israel Worldwide Church of God which actually cares about the people of Malawi instead of Bob Thiel's Church of Witch Doctors, Whoopie, and Whack Jobs that practice all kinds of carnal lusts and EVIL. 

Doesn't this create a warm fuzzy picture of Bwana Mzungu Bob's group!  LOL  

Sadly Dr Thiel doesn't know Up from Down as back in December Louis Wahela and John Machemba were fired from CCOG by Evans Ocheing on his unannounced mission to Malawi to uncover mass corruption. Me think it strange that Dr Thiel would accept John Machemba back to CCOG, when he was fired for corruption and bribes, but hey, what ever Evans Ocheing says Thiel must obey, otherwise numbers flounder. 
 
Sadly CCOG is based on this Africa sham, all just for numbers. Included in this article are pictures of Forester Abraham and John Machemba this last Sabbath of June 15 th, showing Mwanza Center is still with Hope of Israel Worldwide Church of God. 
 
Sadly Dr Thiel won't wake up until Major Headlines of Africa corruption via CCOG are verified. When that happens I imagine it will put the Nail in the Coffin. 
 
Wake up current tithe supporting CCOG members, you're really supporting pure Evil! 
 
Terry Nelson. Cry Aloud Spare not

The Great Bwana Mzungu to Africa gloatingly reported the following letter recently:

"Pastor Dr Bob,

Greetings from Kenya.

I was on fasting for some days so I delayed not to send the report as I promised. Today I was in my tomatoes garden from morning to evening. The work in Kenya has expanded that needs a lot of care. I was on fasting for the four days and praying. I can’t explain how much the work is growing not only in Kenya but Africa at large. I’m receiving good reports from all corners of Africa how God has opened the doors for the gospel. Arthur Topos from Lodwar was in Kakuma refugees center, where he met the refugees and before that he was at the border of Ethiopia and Kenya where there is another congregation.

I’ve received good reports from Rwanda, Congo, Malawi and Mozambique. I sent Molozwa to go and meet with Machemba who had been calling me and wanted to come back to the Church after he rejected the rubbish in Hope of Israel worldwide church of God. He decided to come back to the church. Radson Molozwa gave me a report that their discussion went very well and Machemba is back to CCOG.

This week Molozwa has been visiting congregations in Malawi. Today he was in Cheleka."

Anyone who has ever been part of the Church of God for a long period of time can tell a snow job when they read and hear it. There are not enough snow plows in the United States that can ever clear this road off! 

The Great Bwana Mzungu to Africa also had this as more proof of his exaltedness as a church by providing a letter that mentions how Evans Ochieng made an unannounced trip to Malawi recently to fire some ministers there:

"We are glad that the chicken and goat projects are still helping our brethren in Africa.

Radson Mulozowa also mentioned two chicken projects in Malawi that failed, and that they were led by two men that had spiritual problems.

Evangelist Evans Ochieng just returned from an unannounced visit to Malawi. We decided that going unannounced would better help him investigate various complaints we have received related to leaders in Malawi. It is sad that we have people who claim to be of us, but then will not hold to the truth–and Evans Ochieng and others met and addressed issues with those two men (who were told they were no longer part of CCOG) and some others.

That said, we also provided assistance today to Mozambique so that they can buy fertilizer to raise more food. Fertilizer costs have risen related to Russia’s incursion into Ukraine and sanctions imposed because of that."

The claim by The Great Bwana Mzungu to Africa that the Malawi brethren have all returned to his sacred flock is not true:

This is the Facebook screenshot of comments I made about Chileka congregation getting Iron Sheets 
(metal roofing materials) and now that is confirmed 

Comment that I left on Jacob Otieno profile back on May 6th. Thiel doesn't know Jack squat about anything Africa, he's a complete Fool that was warned:

LCG: Constantly living in fear of the power of Satan


Here we go again. Satan, that crafty wily dude that is constantly leading Living Church of God people astray is hard at work trying to do it again. Misguided individuals are spreading rumors and spreading false doctrines to disrupt the mighty mission of the church just like they did in Jesus' time.

Other than mentioning Jesus name because it is convenient, Winnail does not elaborate on what traditional Christianity understands about Jesus and Satan.

Satan's Devices: God raised up His Church to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God (Mark 16:15), to warn the world of a coming judgment (Mathew 24), and to prepare a people to reign with Jesus Christ (Luke 1:17). Satan has tried to thwart this mission down through history by attacking Jesus and His disciples and using misguided individuals to spread rumors and false doctrines to disrupt the Work of the early Church (1 Corinthians 1:10–13; Galatians 1:6–9). Satan’s goal has not changed. Today, we are in a spiritual war with a cunning adversary (Ephesians 6:10–20) who is still using the same devices (2 Corinthians 2:11). This is why the Apostle Paul urged the early Church to be of “the same mind and in the same judgment” (1 Corinthians 1:10) and to “hold the traditions which you were taught” (2 Thessalonians 2:15). Peter warned that we must be able to recognize and resist Satan’s efforts to thwart the plan of God with his divisive devices (1 Peter 5:8–9). We must all strive to avoid being instruments in Satan’s hands—if we want to be in the coming Kingdom of God.
Have a profitable Sabbath,

Douglas S. Winnail

Things Christianity has always understood:

Satan and the demons are terrified of Christ and the gospel Matt. 8:29; Mark 1:24; James 2:19. They cannot separate believers in Christ from the love of God Rom. 8:38 They can be restrained by the Holy Spirit 2 Thess. 2:6; 1 John 4:4 They have to obey Jesus Matt. 8:32 They even had to obey the 12 disciples and the severity-two Luke 10:17–2. They unwittingly serve God’s purposes Judg. 9:23.

Yet, Church of God ministers live in a constant state of fear that Satan has more power than their god does and is constantly attacking the church and members. Maybe it is because the church talks so little about having confidence and assurity in Christ - something Christians have understood for two millennia.

Maybe if COG people stopped listening to deceivers like Thiel, Pack, Flurry, and Weinland they would not be constantly afraid of Satan and constantly talking about him.
