Dave Pack is a disgusting human being.
This is a perfect example of what extremist Armstrongism does to people.
Pack claims:
If you are serving God and are r@ped, God will prevent you from having the baby so that you would not need to have an abortion.
Talk about bullshit!
Dave knows about Dorothy and her father. What he appears to be saying is that God protected Herbie's incestuous rapes from resulting in a child. That's the character of the god Dave worships.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why some church people kill themselves when they hear shit like this (and shit is dignifying it).
ReplyDeleteDave Pack knows better than God, and Dave Pack can stop a raped woman getting pregnant?
ReplyDeleteIn the Indianapolis congregation of wwcg a gril was raped and gave birth to the baby, pack this it happened while he was in the akron area
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I believe a prominent person in the Christian right first advanced this idea during the 1980s. So, Dave is probably a plagiarist much the same as his Apostle.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, these rabid Armstrongites used to hedge on the promises, saying such things as , "Brethren, God might just allow you to go through (insert trial) to teach you a lesson." So, unlike traditional Christianity, members did not always "have a friend" in Jesus or God. Life for a member was worse than taking your chances "in the world" because now you had to worry about God withholding the protection on which church members depended.
Most likely a baby spawned by rape would be taken to full term, and of course it would be the mother's responsibility to make sure it was raised in "the truth" (always hated that blatant euphemism!), so adoption would be out. If the rapist had been of whatever different ethnic group than the victim, people would make assumptions. Plus, as church members we were simply not allowed to obtain outside counseling or therapy. So, Dave's a total a$$. And yeah, $$ is totally appropriate because it symbolizes all the tithes and common he takes.
Guys can be like dogs, and will frequently make all manner of insensitive remarks about things which are horrifying to women. Someone once told me that his advice to a woman about to be raped would be to just relax and enjoy it rather than fighting back and getting hurt. Can you even imagine???
