What David C. Pack Eliminated Speaks So Loud We Can't Hear What He is Now Saying
I believe it is important to remember what Dave Pack wants you to forget. After all, he said he'll want you to forget this stuff, that he ever said it in the first place or that he didn't mean it to mean what you thought he meant it to mean.
Remember he said...
"I want to make a statement about...me...now, if I became deceived, I will never tell you what I'm going to tell you now...I am telling you if I go off into strange ideas, misconduct, rebellion, you name it, don't follow me. I want to tell you that now, because if I start doing that I'm gonna try to get you to follow me! I'm gonna come to you and tell you it doesn't apply, it doesn't mean me, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's OK to follow me because ABCD and XY and Z. Do you understand what I'm saying? Listen to me now, when I tell you don't follow me if I go off into weird ideas, or if I get off into other things that are total absolutely unscriptural conduct, because if I do I'm gonna paint it with a different face and try to get you to follow me. Do you understand what I'm saying brethren? Please remember that, because I promise you that if I become deceived, I'll forget it, and I'll want you to forget it...And I hope you'll remember it well enough to quote it right back to me...But I'll tell you what, I'm not going anywhere."
Well maybe Dave Pack did not go anywhere back then, but he has since and so let's be reminded of what we must forget was ever thought about the largest, most complex and yet simple to decode prophecy about David C. Pack and the Return of the Disfellowshipped by God under one leader (guess who?) in the Bible.
I admit, I am not a brethren in the RCG, but someone has to do what Dave asked or he's going to deceive us all. He told us that. (I love that quote). So, if no one else is going to remember it well enough to quote it right back to Dave, I guess I will for at least future posterity in such matters.
12) Eliminated The readers of the Haggai prophecy
announcements (this is #21) who believed them would be the most
disillusioned and the biggest candidates to QUIT everything if God did not
return His people to one House this year! This would work directly
against what God is doing—directly opposite His overall purpose.
It is easy to see why this was eliminated from the original 24 reasons in the original Announcement 21 The Time is Now! Dave understands at least the price of being wrong, which he was. It remains to be seen how many are dis-illusioned, which is a good thing, because who wants to be "illusioned." Sticking with Dave is to be "Illusioned." And yes, it would work against the purposes of RCG
13) Eliminated Further desolation (
Hag. 1:11;
2:16-17) from God of the
splinter “houses” would practically wipe out the few remaining senior leaders in
them. This includes pastors and elders, all of whom are NEEDED TO CARRY OUT THE
BIG WORK!
Dave wanted those senior leaders to come over to him so badly and further delay would take them out of the picture before this could come about. Dave must now believe that these senior men will live longer and have more time to still come over to him. Or perhaps he has given up on this ever happening, which I am sure is the safer bet.
14) Eliminated The onset of all future years
would never come with clarity—with any certainty! Would God leave thousands who
are now aware of this prophecy in such a condition? Hardly.
Oops can't say this anymore! Dave has now stated that even more clarity is coming after the screw up in "timing." Things never before seen are now going to be seen so that's clarity alright. Thus, this has to go. Obviously this years failures don't muddy the waters. They clear them up. Just you watch.
15) Eliminated Next, for those
who will see the value of how to pursue spiritual matters, there is this: After
fervently seeking God about it, not one reason the prophecy is off this year
ever emerged in the minds of
even one of our 16 Headquarters ministers! I (we)
have NEVER prayed about, studied over, meditated on, fasted about and counseled
with other ministers regarding a subject more than this one—in fact no other
subject is even close! -
And isn't this a sad one? If we leave this one Dave's crew of 16 kiss ups look like...well...kiss ups. Dave has now learned that everyone agreeing with you is not a sign of truth. It's a sign of...kissing up, probably to keep status and jobs. Dave has also learned that just because you pray, study, meditate, fast and ask other kiss..., ministers about the topic, doesn't mean you're going to get the right answer. "Woe be unto you when all men speak good of you" and all that. So we have to vote no on this being on how one pursues spiritual matters ever again.
16) Eliminated Similarly, as questions emerged
throughout our pursuit of truth with the many details of the prophecy, so many
of these details kept coming clear as direct answers to prayer. And these were
often immediate.
This one has to go because once again, Dave has learned what we all knew ourselves, that details that keep coming like clear answers to prayer are no sign of anything. You simply end up with a very detailed mistake.
17) Eliminated Recall Haggai
1:13: “Then spoke Haggai the Lord’s messenger in the Lord’s message unto the
people…” Haggai is the messenger to God’s people, with what is an all-important
message from God. Would not God make clear in such a unique message He describes
as “the Lord’s message unto His people” the correct date for action? What kind
of message would it be if people did not know WHEN TO CARRY IT OUT?
Here we now see that Dave has learned once and for all that "A" with God does not always lead to Dave's "B". I would think since the people still don't know when to carry it out, the message was flawed to begin with. It might do Dave some good to consider that the message of Haggai never had anything to do with him, RCG or the Splinters. He made that all up in his head and this is why there is confusion as to the "when." "Never" is the answer to the "when".
19) Eliminated Imagine God not
revealing the year the remnant is coming—but only the day and month. Vast
amounts of time would have been wasted by His leaders studying and preparing for
something that was not imminent. Would God put His Church in such a position?
I can imagine it now Dave. Can you?
I'm pretty sure you even got the day and month wrong. Evidently God has put 'His Church" in this position, maybe just for fun. Who knows?
20)
Eliminated Of interest, God revealed to me
during ELUL
four years ago my role as the modern Joshua.
Evidently not of interest at all and eliminating this may mean Dave will have to rethink his "Joshua" fantasy. I bet the world "Elul" will never feel good again to Dave! It also reveals that Dave now has to wonder just what God did or did not reveal to him. I'm going with did not.
21) Eliminated Also of
interest, I and The Restored Church of God learned about the New Testament
remnant last ELUL (August). Let’s ask: Would timing of when we were shown the
prophecy not be tied to its unique timing of fulfillment during the very next
available ELUL?
This one violates eliminated reason 20 because Dave knew FOUR YEARS AGO he was Joshua but kept it to himself until now. He should have revealed this the very next available ELUL! Again, evidently it's not tied to anything Dave tied it to. So this one had to go. Dave is going to have to stop tying the wrong knots on his sailboat which seems blown around by various winds of doctrines he makes up.
"And I hope you'll remember it well enough to quote it right back to me..."
