Dave Pack: Mockers Are Making Fun of Me!

Dave Pack, the leader of the most superfantabulous Church of God to ever exist in humanoid history is proving he is thin skinned.  After gloating about a supposed number  people that have checkout his weekend rants, he has to get a dig in at those of us that mock him.  Oh Boo Hoo!  Does the crybaby need his diaper changed?

You will notice as he starts off his weekly rant that he wants you to be impressed by numbers.  Numbers are important to Dave.  He assumes that with each high number we will be impressed.  those pussy boys in LCG and PCG cnat get these numbers so we are to stand in awe of Davey.

Over 20,000 people have read my mid-March article “God’s People Back Together—SOON!” (with dozens more every day). The great majority of these thousands are asleep and in disbelief of the prophecy. Some of the same thousands are reading every week, many no doubt out of curiosity but most of the others simply in disbelief (this includes mockers looking for “entertainment”). A few hundreds (possibly thousands) of readers appear to be in partial or even full agreement. This means most are not yet reading and believing what is being posted.

Dave is still bristling that the fact that the overwhelming majority of COG members and ex-members  continue to ignore him.  Even worse, they don't send him their money.

Davey though thinks that we will be in soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much awe in the next few weeks from his glorious words that we will stop mocking him and return home to the "truth once delivered" and join forces with the most superfantabulous COG ever to exist.

The prophecy that I have been explaining actually reveals that this would happen. But the content and magnitude of coming announcements will change both these positions in a BIG WAY in weeks to come. The prophecy also makes this plain. Everyone will be reading these announcements, and soon everyone who hopes to retain God’s Spirit will have to ACT on their content. (Some thousands have already followed God’s Spirit back to His Church—His House.) Eventually, MANY thousands more will come!

Is Dave Pack Being A Modern Day Charlemagne In Regards To Tithing?

Tithing Re-examined by Dwight Pryor

Thanks to a reader for sending this to me.

Here is an interesting short discussion on tithing and why it is NOT a requirement today for Christians.  This goes against all of Armstrongism, because that is the money making engine for the church.  Instead of people freely giving because they feel blessed, they are forced to tithe, the antithesis of everything in Scripture.

A few comments from the 17 minute piece.

• Tithing not about accumulating material goods.  Tell that to Dave Pack and Gerald Flurry!

• Not legally bound to tithe but give generously, joyously, periodically and proportionately.   Was for the community of Israel and is not relevant to us today.

• The new testament talks about giving generously, not tithing.

• Preachers who put their congregations under enormous guilt and preach a kind of legalism insisting that they give 10% because that church is the storehouse, the right to collect it and use it as they see fit.  This describes the broad majority of Armstrongite churches today.

• Those that espouse tithing base it on the Hebrew scriptures and NEVER tell you the whole story.  A Jew in the bible is to give between 20-25% of their income.

• Orthodox Jews do not tithe today because the Temple does not exist. However, as an ethnic group, Jews give more proportionately than any other group in America.

• Tithing was not done by the New Testament church,

• Middle ages, 6th century,  Tithing imposed by the church under direction of Charlemagne when the church joined forces with the state.  It was especially forced upon the Jews.  Its was imposed to build the great edifices today.  They were built by imposed state taxes called tithing.  This sounds exactly like Dave Pack.  He has to build his great edifices in Wadsworth to make a name for himself.  In order to do that he imposes tithing and demanded offerings. He can't accomplish that in his writings or by his character, so has to intimidate and impose his demands in order to build his large edifices.
