Samuel Kitchen Claims He Found His Brother Trying To Conjure Up A Demon

 


Just when you think the Church of God can't sink any lower, along comes someone to restore your faith.

This ongoing public mental breakdown of Samuel Kitchen is sad and unbelievable. Armstrongism has such a negative effect on people anymore. Instead of focusing on Jesus, he placed his entire trust in Herbert Armstrong, the supposed one true Apostle who apparently still speaks from the grave to keep Samuel on the narrow path.

Recently there have been tremendous issues in the Kitchen family with brother being pitted against brother, all thanks to Armstrongism.

Samuel Kitchen has now resorted to claiming his younger brother is possessed by demons and has recently found him trying to conjure up a demon. Samuel let his brother move in with him to help with his window cleaning business. Apparently, demons moved in also and Samuel has been busy casting them out:

He thought while working, me pausing and working on office work and book keeping, was negligent and unnecessary, and I needed to be with him to finish the cleaning. I said, no I'm the boss and I have responsibilities and I needed to get this done. 
 
This triggered him, and a wrong attitude came about. He began to believe I was taking advantage of him. He was no longer led by a cooperative spirit. 
 
Since then, things have worsened. I've had to put out several demons, and restore order in my house. I caught my brother sitting in the dark, fuming and foaming in his emotions, trying to conjure a demon, and in his own words "searching for the devil". His spiritual condition got worse, and he refused to study the Bible or pray. He kept telling me, he already did.

Then, horror of horrors, Samuel walked in and heard him playing heavy metal which apparently to Samuel is a pipeline for demons to come in and enter his brother's mind:

So I've been telling him he needed to leave. He had me take him to a Walmart in a town 30 miles away, and drop him off as he was leaving to go to a homeless shelter. Upon finding they were full and could not accept him, he called me up and I picked him back up. 
 
I talked with him many times, about finding a job, working for a couple of weeks and renting a place of his own. I didn't want him homeless. And he went back and forth with wrong attitudes and wrong spirits. 
 
Now, he told me he never experienced these type of attacks until he moved up with me. I kind of agree with him on that. The Devil doesn't attack an evil thing. We were two men, who I thought was walking the same path. I talked to him over the phone and he sounded like he had a good relationship with God, and when things weren't working out for him in Kansas City, I opened up my heart, my home and my business to him. 
 
I even paid for his flight tickets for the feast this year.(Something that is not refundable I found out)
God began to bless my business here locally. It doubled in one week. And I have tried to remind my little brother of what God is doing. But he has taken the stance I am using him for personal gain.
Tuesday night, this week, he was playing metal and screaming music in my bedroom, indulging in the evil spirits and anger and hate. He has done this in the past, and he is evoking demons and wants to swim in the hate and bitterness. So I walked in and for over an hour, sang Bible hymns, and confronted the demons that were coming in. 
 
The last time things got this heated and out of hand, in he was possessed, and he tried to stab me and did a lot of damage to my home, and it was the Devil that entered him and told me to my face I was going to die and he was going to do it in Jerusalem. 
 
This time, he told me he was looking for the devil to possess him. I asked the demon that was entering him, his name, and I got profanity and "I told you before".
It ended with the demons leaving, and I went to bed.

Things did not get better the next morning:

I was walking to the library to upload this next week's Bible study and Church services, to the channels my brother Tim(another brother) had returned to me last week. 
 
He was still part of the channel, because YouTube didn't allow me to become "primary owner" until after seven days of being an owner. Tim made me an owner, and since YouTube saw I was just added, they said I had a seven day period before I could become "primary". 
 
So while I was working on that, I received emails telling me I had been removed from the channels and I was no longer owner. 
 
I contacted my brother, he refused to answer my calls or messages. 
 
When I posted yesterday about it, he messaged me telling me how I wronged Clint, and he took it back because of how I was treating Clint and will not give it back. I needed to change he said, and he took the side of Clint. 
 
Clint, had called Tim, while I was going to the Library, and gave him a story, full of lies.

Tim, took to himself, without coming to me about this situation, and took the channels, on total condemnation against me.

Samuel sees this as a direct attack by Satan who is angry that he runs the Worldwide Church of God.

It has been a stressful several weeks, of battling the Devil and demons, and those easily led by them.
The Devil wants to destroy the Worldwide Church of God, and me doing what I was doing on YouTube was helping the Church. 
 
So please pray for me. My family has turned against me. I am not afraid, but I am deeply concerned for my well being. 
 
I came home yesterday, ordered my little brother to leave the house immediately. He was no longer welcomed. He called the police on me, who arrived and told me he couldn't leave according to state laws and I have to serve a 30 day eviction on him. 
 
I can end my lease and move, forcing him to leave sooner, but I would be displaced and without home. 
 
I think that is what Satan wants. 
 
So I'm praying about finding a new place, or waiting out things here behind enemy lines, until the 30 days are up. 
 
It's all in God's hands. I realize a YouTube channel is not the Church. A website is not the Church. I don't need a home to continue to obey God. I don't need anything. God has provided everything for me. So whatever happens, I know it'll be okay. My comforter and protector is near. My concern is whether I am close to him, and that's what I'm focusing on right now. 
 
Please pray for me brethren. I need your prayers.

What Samuel and this entire family need is a good psychotherapist who deals with mental illness, cult trauma, and recovery. It should NOT be a COG minister who is not qualified.

It is actually sad to see what Armstrongism has done to this family. They aren't the first and will not be the last.


Another NEW COG Group: When WIll This Craziness Ever End?

Hat tip to MisterdiffiCULT for discovering a new Worldwide Chruch of God splinter group. This one is a splinter of Dave Pack led by Vidal Wachuku. It is called the Church of God Without Walls. Holy Hanna! What a quagmire of irrelevance Armstrongism has descended into!

Apparently, he got a few Restored Church of God folks to join him along with their money. After all, money is the official purpose of any COG. It's not leading people to Christ. It's all about leading people to men along with their money. These self-appointed leaders all need to keep money flowing into their pockets so they can maintain their expected living standards. Their donate button is featured on the front page of their website, right at the top.


Church of God Without Walls is a congregation of believers, many from other splinter groups, that believe in the True Gospel of Jesus Christ as revealed by Mr. Herbert W Armstrong. 

With a group that spans continents we meet frequently on digital and social media such as Zoom, YouTube and Facebook.


I pastored congregations of The Restored Church of God in the state of Florida, USA and the Caribbean Islands from February 1, 2012 to November 30, 2021. I was later transferred to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, Texas where I was responsible for the congregations in most of the state and parts of Louisiana, USA from Dec. 1, 2021- Dec. 29, 2023.





Crackpot Prophet: NATO Will Soon Attack The U.S.!

 


The blistering heat in CA is wreaking havoc on the already compromised brain of the Great Bwana Bob. He is having a major meltdown this morning over JD Vance as a potential Vice President. He is screeching how Euorupeaons supposedly fear him being the next VP.

The Great Bwana Bob is like the other professional fear-mongers in the COG who secretly look forward to a day when jackbooted Germans will take over the United States, imprison citizens and torture them in concentration camps, and capture the young men and women in the US to send to Europe to be their slaves for 3 1/2 years. They will all melt into an orgasmic fit of ecstasy if it happens as they believe it will prove them the prophets they delusionaly think they are.

"Yet, I have felt for decades, the Europeans will one day attack the USA deceptively under the guise of a NATO exercise. Plus, the Europeans will probably will have ground assistance from Mexico, a nation that Donald Trump has repeatedly offended during his campaign. Europe will also likely have some assistance from Russia and even China."


"Now, with Donald Trump’s rising in the polls, plus his selection of J.D. Vance as his vice president, this is getting Europe to try to hasten steps to increase Europe’s military might. 
 
Many in Europe see this as reasonable and logical–particularly in the light of real and alleged comments from Donald Trump as well as J.D. Vance."


"Without national repentance, the USA is doomed. 
 
And while your nation is not likely to repent, you can. 
 
Do not put that off. "

Yep, join up with the improperly named "continuing" Church of the Lesser God and you too can save your behind.

Elijah/Elisha Is In Our Midst. Why Does Everyone Ignore Him?

 


The summer heat is hitting California with a vengeance and it has apparently fried the brain of our greatest Church of God leader since Paul walked the hills of the Mediterranean. This modern-day Elisha wanna-be is not the first to hit the scene in COGland, as there have been countless other men proclaiming the same delusional nonsense. All of them self-appointed themselves just like our current Elisha has, even though he claims he was doubly blessed by Gaylyn Bonjour of the Living Church of God to be the end time Elisha/Elijah/Habakkuk/Amos/Joshua/john the Baptist/Elijah/Chief Overseer/prophet/apostle and one of the two witless witnesses. Despite all of these self-proclaimed titles, the entire Church of God looks at him with derision and mild amusement at the sheer stupidity that continues to emerge from him.

He is back whining about being Elisha and everyone ignoring him.

Elijah, however, over time seemed to have lost the mental/emotional ability to properly lead (cf. 1 Kings 19:13-18). God later took him and replaced him with Elisha as the top ecclesiastical authority. Elisha then received a “double-portion” (two-portion literally) of the gift that God had given Elijah:

9 And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?”
Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”
10 So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” 11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces. 13 He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan. (2 Kings 2:9-13) 
 
The recipient of the double-portion promise, Elisha, was a type of Elijah. Elisha picked up the mantle of Elijah (2 Kings 2:13) which God wanted him to have (1 Kings 19:16-19), did a similar miraculous dry river crossing (2 Kings 2:13-14), also did other miracles (2 Kings 4:30-35; 2 Kings 10:5-14; 2 Kings 6:16-18), as he replaced Elijah as God’s top ecclesiastical authority on earth (cf. 1 Kings 19:16). 
 
A minister of the Living Church of God prayed and anointed Bob Thiel for a ‘double portion’ of God’s Spirit back in late 2011 and told him that was reminiscent of what happened to Elisha. He also confirmed that God answered that prayer when we met in November 2019. He has since died.

Notice how the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu has stopped using Gaylyn Bonjour's name? After it was revealed that Bonjour had no intention with his blessing for Bob to use it as an excuse to start a new splinter cult, the Great Bwana stopped using his name. The entire LCG minister has pointed out over and over that Bob is disingenuous when it comes to the endless stream of excuses he makes in trying to legitimize himself. 

Jesus, Himself, confirmed that John the Baptist, who is not recorded to have done any of the miracles of Elijah, fulfilled an Elijah role:

12 But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist. (Matthew 17:12-13) 
 
So, the Bible tells of two Elijahs who were here thousands of years ago. 
 
But Jesus told of another Elijah to come after He left:

11 Jesus answered and said to them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things.” (Matthew 17:11)

I'll give you one guess as to who this Elijah to come is. Just one! It's Dave Pack! Oh, wait, I'm sorry, It's Ron Weinland! Oh, wait, It's Gerald Flurry! Oh, wait! It's Alton Billingsley! Oh, wait! It's the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel! Whew! Woo Hoo!

The Great Bwana Elisha/Elijah Bob continues:

The Church of God position has been that someone would come in the spirit and power of Elijah to “restore all things” and possibly be one of the two witnesses. While the late Herbert W. Armstrong (who died in January 1986) sometimes indicated that he fulfilled that role, he told people, that I have personally spoken with, that there could be another other than he. Those with a WCG background might find the following quote from Herbert W. Armstrong of some assistance here as he wrote:

Those called into the Church were called not merely for salvation and eternal life, but to learn the way of God’s government and develop the divine character during this mortal life in the Church age… 
 
Also Malachi 4:5-6 pictures the Elijah to come at the very end of the Church age (Mystery of the Ages. 1985, pp. 201, 349).

I can state with 100% accuracy that Herbert Armstrong was not referring to Bob Thiel. There is no way on this green earth that HWA would have ever ordained the Great Bwana Bob. The Worldwide Church of God refused to ordain him. Global Church of God refused to ordain him, and the Living Church of God refused to ordain him. The Great Bwana Bob is a blasphemous illegitimate self-appointed upstart.

He ends his article with another set of outright lies:

Now since the Church age has not ended, and the Day of the Lord has not yet come, then it follows that Elijah was to come on the scene publicly after this was written. His restoring of “all things” means that he is to be restoring information that the true Church of God once understood, but later must have lost or misunderstood. 
 
Now, I should add that RCG’s David Pack is NOT the prophesied end-time Elijah despite his claims about it–he has NOT restored the truth and is confused/wrong on many points. 
 
Those of the true and genuine Philadelphian remnant will pay much attention to the voice of the true final Elijah. Those who do not will not fare as well as they could (cf. Revelation 12:14-17). 
 
We in the Continuing Church of God have also a more sure word of prophecy; “whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts” (2 Peter 1:19, KJV).”

The fact is, the improperly named "continuing" church of a lesser god is in no manner, shape, or form the Philaldphian remnant. This is an indisputable fact.

The improperly named "continuing" church of a lesser god no more has the sure word of prophecy than Dave Pack and Gerald Flurry do. They are all liars just like the Great Bwana Bob.

People in COGland need to stop placing their trust in the deceitful lying men claiming to be their leaders and place their trust in the One they are supposed to be following. 

How long do we have to wait for the end time Elisha to call out the she-bears to attack his persecutors?

False Prophet Warns Us About That Other False Prophet

 


Dave Pack's ever-enlarging pile of false prophecies seems to have no end. Almost every day now there is some new revelation that only HE can understand, but if members look closely they too can see it. Then when they can't, he blames them for his epic failures. 

This brings us today to our other official false prophet of the church, the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel. God's greatest living human to ever exist in the history of humanity as he prepares the world for the soon-coming apocalypse.

He has a little tidbit up about Dave Pack:

People like David Pack were warned about long ago:

1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. (2 Peter 2:1-3) 

Yes, you should not believe David Pack is a faithful leader as he has repeatedly born false witness.


 

The Two Battling Worldwide Church of God Entities


 

Satan and Simon Magus are MAD! I say MAD!!!!!!! Satan is particularly mad that the original Worldwide Church of God never went away as so many claim. He is even more ticked off to learn that every single splinter that he helped set up along with Simon Magus is now known to be false. How can that be????

As crafty as Satan is he has been foiled by the Kitchen family as they hold on to the truth once restored by the Holy Apostle. Satan has really ticked off lately by stirring up more family division turning brother against brother.

On July 10, Samuel wrote:

On another note, my brother added me back to my old YouTube Channels, and I've made those channels available again! ALL VIDEOS ARE BACK!!!!!

Today, July 17 Samuel writes:

So Tim kicked me off those channels again. 
 
I had until tomorrow to be primary owner again. Had to wait a week until I could remove Tim and be the primary owner again.
Tim took them back, while I was getting Bible study and Church services ready. Satan DOES NOT WANT IT.

SO, WE LOST THE CHANNELS AGAIN. I tried to call Tim, he refused to answer. 

All of this upheaval started a few weeks ago when another COG splinter group went and filled out paperwork claiming the name Worldwide Church of God as their own, usurping Samuel.

Some of you may recall Ron Stephens who was well known during the doctrinal changes for sending out memory sticks of WCG literature and sermons. It was called:


Given the fact that numerous other COG-related sites have proliferated over the years with far better sites and resources, most people have forgotten about Ron Stephens until recently, when he reared his head and went after Samuel Kitchen.

Samuel shared this information about Stephens regarding his persecution of the Kitchen family over the years and his recent filing of a trademark of the WCG name:

Concerning the trademark filed by Ron Stephens...
The original trademarks, as seen in the publications and productions of the Worldwide Church of God and Herbert W Armstrong, is what I have been sharing all along and emphasizing.
On my family's page, A Voice Cries Out- Herbert W Armstrong, I have been authoring article and publications where I discuss and use the name Worldwide Church of God for many many years. Before this, I have saved conversations, with many people concerning the Worldwide Church of God.
Sometime after 2010, Ron Stephens came to know the existence of my family's online work.
He had created "HWA Storehouse", a project based on Malachi 3 concerning the collection of God's Tithes and Offerings. Mr. Stephens was NOT, and I repeat again, NOT an ordained minister.
He based his project on a misinterpretation of the prophecy in the book of Amos, concerning the "famine of the hearing of the Word".
God says in His Word, HE WILL SEND A FAMINE, and people will search and shall not find.
Ron Stephens evoked the idea, that those who had a flashdrive could find it in their homes. Like a bomb shelter peddler, his work was to oppose the Word of God.
This is eerily similar to the doctrine of GTA who said the place of safety would be in the homes of church membership.
So after coming into the knowledge of my family's work, we soon approached him and warned him of the sin he was committing against the Church. He was robbing God's tithes and offerings and touching that which he was not permitted to touch.
It was soon after, he was received well by a Nigerian group, who my family caught stealing our videos. The Nigerian claimed to be the successor of Mr. Armstrong and that all videos produced by the Church was his to use as he saw fit.
He took Ron Stephens in, and ordained him an elder.

Sounds like the African scam that ordered Bob Thiel and currently now uses him for money and supplies. 

Immediately Ron Stephens filed and registered a trademark called "THE ORIGINAL WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD".
Now he filed a new trademark in February 2021, for "WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD (WCG)".
This was the time my family was being hit, with family members being murdered.

What would any COG story be without a grand conspiracy theory? After all, they seem to be the lifeblood of the church. Here is a dozy of one:

In January 2020, my father was approached by a man who claimed he worked for the CIA.
The man told my dad, that something was coming down the line of command against my family, and he wanted to let my dad know it wasn't personal, he was just following orders and doing so to protect his own family.
Six months later my grandmother was murdered in a hospital.
Six months after that my mother died.
Four months after that, my dad died.
For two months, my dad was laid up paralyzed. He had a hole at the base of his head which had caused him much pain and it got an infection.
The doctors he visited in the ER, was the same doctors that were involved with my grandmother. So when we went to the ER, my dad checked himself out.
The next ER visit, was in another town.
He was admitted and was staying the night. He was feeling better.
During that night, men in suits began to enter his room and leaving. My dad asked the night nurse who they were, and was told they were with the FBI and FEMA.
He began to lose motor functions and so my dad called me, and checked himself out again. Within several hours he was better. But still dealing with the paralysis.
It was at that time, he caught a staff infection at the hospital.
He eventually had to amputate his leg. He was flown down to Chandler, Arizona where they performed the operation and he never woke up.
It was during this time of trial, Ron Stephens was rushing towards the Trademark office to file for "WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD (WCG)".
His trademark was filed in defiance of the knowledge of my family. We had been using the name, been defending the name, and been sharing the old publications and productions of the Worldwide Church of God and Herbert W Armstrong.
But my family was being murdered and taken out of the way. We were a threat to the system. And with my dad out of the way, the name seemed to be easy picking for Ron Stephens.

True COG members around the world need to STAND UP and defend the Kichen family! 

Those from the Worldwide Church of God, who was with Mr. Armstrong needs to stand up and defend us.
This new trademark is being used to attack this work.
It is also being used to ATTACK any man who may return to the ministry of the Worldwide Church of God.

Aaron Dean to the rescue, IF and only IF he repents of being in the United Church of God and returns to the one true faith. 

That's why I look at the original ordained ministry for assistance. Especially Aaron Dean. He can secure the original usage if he repented and stepped up. This will put an end to the destruction of the Worldwide Church of God and aid in the restoration of the Worldwide Church of God.
Because the documents show Aaron Dean there with Mr. Armstrong. The publications show a ministry. They show a church.

And if they shut down this work, they are doing so to take over and to fully destroy the Church. Any YouTube channel, any website is under threat! 

YouTube recently shut down Samuel's video site where he had posted hudnreds of HWA and WCG-related sermons and videos. This could have been instigated by Ron Stephens.

Samuel writes:

The deletion of the Worldwide Church of God Youtube Channel(@officialworldwidechurchofgod), that happened a day ago, was just another attack by Satan the Devil, the great HINDERER.


This matter on the Youtube website, is based on TRADEMARK LAW. It is a CIVIL MATTER on RELIGIOUS THINGS.
And while it is easy to expose this fake claim made by opposing parties to a reasonable human being, Youtube runs on automation.
Therefore people can THRUST a civil action against the Church, in order to SUPPRESS and HINDER our standing on the Youtube platform and cause damage before human intervention.
Are we realizing the time is at hand where RELIGIOUSLY POWERED PEOPLE ARE ENGAGING IN CIVIL ACTIONS AGAINST THIS CHURCH, as foretold in God's Word? I am waiting a decision from YouTube, as I appealed their decision, but we are now hindered!
Right now, until I can reach a human being, the uploading of the Bible Studies and Church Services has been paused.
The way that YouTube has it, is a system where these dissidents can launch civil action(reports) against us, and cause a great deal of damage before someone at Youtube will intervene, if they ever will intervene. Do we risk the damage? We are NOW being HINDERED like never before!
Now, someone is claiming a NEW TRADEMARK, and claiming to be the Worldwide Church of God by use of the new trademark. They are claiming "exclusive usage", by going after us.

In 2021 Stephens applied to register the name Worldwide Church of God as a trademark he owns.



Kitchen wrote on July 10:

If you look at the Trademark Office, on Ronnie D. Stephens new trademark(#90542251), he applied for CLASS 016 with description "Printed publications, namely, brochures, booklets, and teaching materials in the field of Religious, Social and Historical archived materials pertaining to the original teachings of the Worldwide Church of God and its founder Herbert W. Armstrong."
This was later removed.
He also applied for CLASS 045 with description "Religious and spiritual services, namely, conducting religious worship, marriage ceremonies, baptismal ceremonies, baby dedications, bereavement ceremonies, and religious counseling".
This CLASS was kept.
This is an attack on the MINISTRY.
Please pray for this brethren. Perhaps we can plea with the Trademark office, and explain this FRAUD, and have the trademark placed into the hands of a minister who is ON THE Pre-1986 ROSTER of the Worldwide Church of God, such as Mr. Aaron Dean?
The original publications, and productions of the Worldwide Church of God and Herbert W. Armstrong, is inclusive to Mr. Aaron Dean. He is included!
How do we know? The record shows! Ronnie D Stephens wants people to accept his fraud. The record he wants to OWN, exposes the fraud.
So maybe, we ought to pray and fast about this brethren. Let the true ministry of the Worldwide Church of God handle the wolves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This will be interesting to see how this all plays out since Grace Communion International holds the copyright to the WCG name. Though I imagine they could care less.





Are You Thinking About Joining LCG, UCG, PCG Or Bob Thiel's Group? If So, "you are simply being tempted by a heresy".

 


Poor Bob Thiel, the little guy never gets a break. 😅 

Samuel Kitchen has come out proclaiming that anyone who joins ANY of the splinter groups are being tempted by heresy. We've known that all along when it comes to the Great Bwana Bob. The lies of Gerald Flurry and Dave Pack pale in comparison to the lies and half-truths the Great Bwana has dumped upon us all. From his crazy nightmares to the "enlarged upon" conversations that really never happened the way Bob claims, the absolute craziness he says has no boundaries. Rod Meredith understood this very well when he said:

However, Bob, your own remarkable vanity and “dreams of greatness” have greatly affected your ability to think clearly many times. Over the last few years, many of us have noted that you have begun to think of yourself in terms that are not realistic.  

Also, to abet your desires to be a “great one” in the Work, you have carefully and cleverly twisted and enlarged upon many things people have mentioned to you." -RCM 

Samuel Kitchen claims that Bob and all of the others are following in the footsteps of Simon Magus. Ouch! 

Unto those He sent out, Jesus Christ commanded in Matthew 28 to make disciples in all nations of the world, this to fulfill Christ's own prophecy in Matthew 24:14. This was a prophecy of the fruition of the Worldwide Church of God in this Philadelphia era.
Now, many have become confused. Since the death of the apostle, the people of God seem to be scrambling to different groups and different works, and that is odd.
Yes the Worldwide Church of God is the Church of God, the spiritual body of Christ. The organization was struck by Satan, in order to destroy a media empire, that could take on anyone who wanted to restrict information to the public.
The spiritual remains intact. The work of God is to continue to remain organized as it has been directed through Christ's apostle, to believe the one sent from God.
We are commanded to Hold fast, and endure persecution.
These c.o.g groups are merely other works, and they are restricting people's relationship with the apostle, and therefore Jesus Christ, and many are failing to hold fast.
Jesus didn't start a second church, or second work. The Bible holds true.
If the idea of another work intrigues you....you are simple being tempted by a heresy. The heresy is the idea of another work, the idea of another church.
These ministers were ordained as ministers of the Worldwide Church of God. They were NOT an apostle, and so let's remember how Simon Magus claimed apostleship and started his counterfeit Church in competition against the true Church of God.
That's why I look at the Worldwide Church of God, and say the idea there is another church now is heresy. Heresy should never be supported. And that is something we all need to repent of.
Let us get back on the right track brethren!

Dave Pack: Performance Anxiety


Performance Anxiety

David C. Pack suffers from an acute case of doctrinal performance anxiety.

The brethren of The Restored Church of God have been on this prophetic-knowledge rollercoaster before. When David C. Pack consistently blows off scheduled speaking appointments and resorts to lesser men in Church Administration submitting proxy Hem and Haw emails because he fears to further expert opinions that he is a proven not-so expert, you know the Pastor General is stalling.

David C. Pack cannot cross the finish line of any race he attempts because he has no clue how God plans to execute His how and when of Jesus Christ’s return. Do not be surprised if Coffee Kid and Pepper Boy are choking the Hall of Administration’s underground furnace with 25,000 hours worth of pointless Bible study notes. The members of The Restored Church of God continue to invest their time, money, and partial attention because nine straight years of absolute failure are not a clear signal it is time to flee.

David C. Pack foolishly chose to no longer tiptoe just right, offering undeniable proof that the 7-Year Kingdom of God would arrive on Tammuz 5: July 11, 2024.

Just during 2024, he taught that the Kingdom of God would arrive on:

•  Abib 1
•  Abib 14 (Passover)
•  Iyar 1
•  Sivan 1
•  Sivan 10 (Pentecost)
•  Tammuz 1
•  Tammuz 5
•  Mystery date brethren may be able to determine

He also “proved” it was the Feast of Trumpets just to make the point the Kingdom could never come on the Feast of Trumpets.

David C. Pack’s current performance anxiety could result from him running out of ideas.

 

The four emails sent within the same week offer illogical excuses that defy David C. Pack’s presumptuous commission to “rush to call it out” because his last message triggers a “tiny, tiny micron” before Jesus Christ can return. 

Boy, if all that does not line up just so, prophecy breaks, and God cannot move forward with His plan for the salvation of mankind. But, hey, Dave…no pressure.

Subject: Upcoming Live Stream Message – Early This Week

Dear brethren,

Warm greetings from Headquarters!

Following yesterday's Bible study more knowledge has been gained requiring further explanation.

These will be detailed further in an upcoming message, likely Monday or Tuesday.

Look out for additional communication.

Warm regards, 
Church Administration

That idea almost lasted a whole day.

Subject: Upcoming Live Stream Message – Thursday, July 11

Greetings again brethren, 

For several reasons, it is better for Mr. Pack to speak on Thursday. This alone means we are not looking for this Wednesday.

However, he wanted to pass on that many of you may be able to determine the date if you take a moment to think about it and don't jump to any quick conclusions. Think back, starting about a month ago, and you will probably figure out exactly what day this is!

Warm regards,
Church Administration

Hours of holy time were devoted to listening to David C. Pack explain exactly what the Bible says with precision and accuracy, which was dissolved in a single sentence: "This alone means we are not looking for this Wednesday.” The energy spent could have been utilized better if RCG had constructed a giant domino obstacle course so that the single flip of a finger could have at least been interesting.

Informing the brethren that they may determine the day without further information but not jump to conclusions is a logic paradox that hurts my brain. By offering that they "may be able to determine the date” and “figure out exactly,” CAD asks them to come to a conclusion.

I may be a self-taught Packinese expert, but I have no idea what the brethren were expected to do. Most figured they should just hunker down and be patient until Thursday.

That also turned out to be a terrible idea.

Subject: Important Update: Livestream Bible Study - Cancelled

Greetings brethren,

As an update, Mr. Pack will not be speaking today. He will now speak on the Sabbath.

Further communication with timing details will follow.

Have a pleasant rest of your day!

Warm regards,
Church Administration

By this point, David C. Pack’s biblical performance anxiety was fully inflamed. The malarkey well had gone dry even though gallons of recyclables were stored in the basement.

I wonder if they locked the doors to the Third Floor Executive Imaginarium and issued another Headquarters-wide “Do not talk to Mr. Pack” edict like in times past.

Yeah, that was a real thing at Headquarters.

Employees were told in a staff meeting not to engage with Dave even when we ran into him in the office because he was easily distracted and could lose his train of thought. Even then, I chuckled to myself because if his inspiration had come from the Holy Spirit, that divine knowledge would not be lost to the ages because someone asked him how his weekend was.

It took a long time to realize that Headquarters hirelings are not spiritually-thinking people.

Imagine God is moving Dave’s mind toward understanding vital end-time knowledge that gets thwarted because a bootlicker asks about when a particular tree will bloom. I once stood beside a man who was so excited he got five minutes of Dave's attention. He was beaming. He was fired six months later.

Nope. None of that. Prophecy cannot fulfill itself. Dave must be locked away so he can concentrate and “try to figure out what God’s gonna do.”

 


The RCG holdouts clinging to patience by their fingernails had the cold, rigid CAD heel slam down on their fingers when the latest information did not survive a whole day.

Subject: Follow-up: Upcoming Live Stream Message – Tomorrow, July 13

Greetings brethren,

We trust this message finds you well!

As previously communicated, Mr. Pack had planned to speak this Sabbath. However, given timing, there is no need for him to speak since there may not be enough time for anyone to hear the message.

Coming off the timing-related email from earlier this week, do not assume that you know the day. Be prepared for an event that may come sooner than expected.

If we are here next week, Mr. Pack can share some additional inspiring knowledge.

Enjoy the Sabbath ahead!
Church Administration

Kevin Denee and I have a theory that David C. Pack will try to capitalize on the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. That Chicken Little rant will come, and somehow, it will make Dave “right” because “an event” occurred. Fox News has not stopped running in the Third Floor Executive Imaginarium and is visible from the Giant Eagle parking lot at the right time of day.

I doubt Dave will put his doctrinal marbles in the Richard Simmons death circle. It remains to be seen if he views Dr. Ruth Westheimer as a “dirty, filthy woman” among the ranks of Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian.

If we are here next week" is laughable but also a lie. They knew we would be here this week. That line was just an excuse, not a reason. Today is Tammuz 10, and even I did not bother to "figure out" the date.

David C. Pack forfeited being the Goodman of the House because he neglected his self-proclaimed assignment when he decided not to speak because “there may not be enough time.” Once again, Dave’s god is terrible with timing because it gave its nincompoop lackey information too late to do anything with. That means whatever “inspiring knowledge” fell out of the sky into Dave's head while making a doodie in the toilet, not in his pants, was entirely vain.

There was plenty of time for people to hear Part 524 and be disappointed with failed date #85 since March 2022. The truth is Dave had no message to give. He was stalling and is stalling and will keep stalling until he builds a new prophetic Jenga tower and presents it as "what the Bible says.”

The CAD emails are smoke and mirrors for what is really happening behind the scenes. Instead of Dave admitting how uncomfortable and troubled he is, "inspiring knowledge” is just over the horizon.

With ten days of stalling, David C. Pack’s reoccurring prophetic performance anxiety is causing quiet rejoicing in RCG’s congregations throughout the world. Brethren, savor this respite because he will be back in full force to wrestle the Bible into submission, bending the Scriptures to conform to his twisted imagination.

It has been a while since we last saw David C. Pack’s performance anxiety, which is quite impressive for a man his age.
