Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web of Corrupt Leaders
From a reader:
David C. Pack's BAIT & SWITCH Scam
At the start of his Restored Church of Greed (RCG) cult, David Pack talked about “precision of doctrine” and about holding on faithfully to everything that Herbert W. Armstrong had taught at the time of HWA's death in January 1986. That is how Dave Pack suckered in some former Worldwide Church of God people.
After gaining their confidence, like con-artists do, Dave Pack started to introduce many new, strange, massive, doctrinal changes that were supposedly supported by some sort of “logic” (that was not very logical) and by hundreds of supposed “proofs” (that did not prove anything). Loud, overwhelming, sleep-depriving, non-stop noise (with spittle) coming from Dave Pack's continually flapping mouth totally bamboozled his followers.
It now seems strange that some people still listen to Dave Pack after all the lies and nonsense and thefts and self-promotion and wrong date guesses and even more thefts that he came up with over the past seven years. But, perhaps it is not really about seeking the truth of God after all. Nor is it really about holding on faithfully to what HWA had taught. Apparently, it is about something else.
Current RCG members might like to be handled delicately by outsiders (though not by Dave) and be considered to be sincere and decent people who mean well. However, the fact is that there is something seriously wrong with their minds and their behavior. They are now the accomplices and enablers of one of the worst raging false prophets (#2 after Gerald Flurry) that Satan ever sent against former WCG people.
