I had an interesting conversation today with a person that is part of Dave Pack's cult. It seems that Dave was looking at the defection of Dale Schurter and other UCG ministers as the start of a great exodus of members from UCG into the RCG. It hasn't happened. There has been no exodus and only a couple of members actually jumped over.
Instead what has happened is consistent mocking and ridicule of Dave's new boy toys which have in turn cast a bad light on Dave himself because of all the gloating.
Income is down in RCG and Dave is struggling to come up with financing for his new mini-me concert hall and campus. With the banks refusing funding, Dave has had to turn to intimidation and threats against members to make them give more money. Threatening to strip away one's salvation makes some people do foolish things.
Yet, in typical COG fashion, the sheeple sit there and let themselves be treated as dirt by Dave because they feel they are under authority and would be rebelling against God if they dared contradict Dave. To rebel against God's "anointed" is the same as turning their backs on God.
Lives continue to be destroyed in RCG all in the name of Dave.
