David C Pack: It Is Impossible For Me To Imagine We Have More Than Five Years Left (2011)

In his September 27, 2011 member letter, Dave says that it was IMPOSSIBLE that there could be more than five years left till all hell broke loose.  With Dave's EPIC failure in September and October of 2013, is he rounding up the wagons for his latest final push?  He is already telling members to send in as much money as possible for a final push.  Of course it has always been about money with Dave.  It all belongs him, including all tithe money in the various other COG's.  Besides, he has to keep his deceased wife's nurse happy.

Finally, brethren, let's remember the ALL IMPORTANCE of each of the four Fall Holy Days that are almost upon us. Over 16 percent (more than one of every $6) of the entire year's income arrives from just these four Holy Days (again, not counting the three Spring Holy Days). Please go to God on your knees and ask Him for the faith to do all that you possibly can for God's Work in these waning years of man's age. Know that I have not moved "one inch" from my belief about when the 6,000 years of man's rule are up. It seems almost beyond impossible to me that we have more years remaining than can be counted on one hand. Please bring the same zeal to your Holy Day offerings, as well as Tithe of Tithe and excess Second Tithe, that so many are bringing to the local fundraising effort, and to their willingness to obey Christ's command to "sell all that you have."

Also in that same letter, Dave whines about the "shallow" people of the world inquiring about the Restored Church of God.  If Dave treats his potential members with such disdain, what is he going to do with the tens of thousands of COG members who will be joining up with him in the next year?  He thinks they are just as "shallow" as the rest of the world. If those COG members were truly converted they would already be RCG members.

In 2011 as well as today, Dave is having a hard time getting "quality" members.  That really should translate to "filthy rich" members.  A few "quality" members will bring in far more money than a large number of poor members.

The result of what we are learning is that we expect to receive a lot fewer inquiries about the Church, but from people who are much more "quality" in nature than "quantity," and who have read a great deal more literature before asking about attendance. We hope and believe that the net result will actually be a faster growth rate in the Church in 2012 than the perhaps 29-30 percent rate we should see again this year. Time will tell, and it is something that all of us can be fervently praying about on Headquarters' behalf!

We now have two years left to listed to the mindless rants of the Church of God's biggest narcissist.  Two years of pleas to send in more money and over the top boasting on what a mind boggling superfantabulous work he is doing.  Come this October we will be waiting for the tens of thousands of COG members to join up with Dave and then watch him be humiliated yet again.  Its actually quit delightful watching this guy melt down.  Dave cannot blame the world or the internet for his rapidly declining empire.  He and his minions are bringing it all down by themselves.

Why Do You Continue To Not Send Me Money and Acknowledge My High Spiritual Position?

Even though Bob Thiel is doing the greatest work on earth today, COGers are NOT sending in their money to him.  Thiel continues to struggle financially because of his grandiose ides for his splinter cult.

Will you support the final phase of the work?

Satan and the Laodiceans simply do not wish to properly support God’s work. Of course, many Laodiceans do not know that they are in that condition, and for many reasons will not understand the final phase of the work or who is leading it. Final Phase

Gird Your Loins and Light Your Lamps! The Final Phase of the Work Is Here!

Get Your Own Shirt Here

Ladies and gentlemen!  Fill your lamps with new oil and light them.  Gird your loins and prepare for the end is nigh!

But never fear, the righteous one is here to lead you into all truth! The one and only TRUE Church of God that has not been taken over by weak effeminate leaders is the Continuing Church of God.  Only the most desiccated COG members on the earth today are part of this amazing work.  With the recent humiliation of David C Pack, God has now placed his mantle on Bob Thiel unless there is another COG "organizational change."

It is the highly dedicated in the real Church of God (COG) that will finish the human part of the final phase of the work before (Matthew 24:14-15) and during (Revelation 11:3-14) the Great Tribulation and Day of the Lord. Presuming no significant organizational changes, for many reasons, the final phase of the work will be led by the Continuing Church of God (throughout Church of God history there have been significant organizational changes, so one must be cautious as more can happen).

Organizational changes have come and gone in Armstrongism.  Each new alliteration seems to be wackier than the last.  Bob Thiel is no exception.  How long will it be till Thiel's group splinters?

Thiel then makes this claim about his group - which has been the claim of all 700 splinter groups over the last  many decades.

This final phase of the work seemingly will consist of identifying what is happening in the world (specifically also in Europe, the Middle East, and the Anglo-descended nations), finishing the proclamation of Christ’s gospel of the kingdom as a witness along with persecution (Matthew 24:9-14), the rise and work of the two witnesses (Revelation 11:2-12; which will likely overlap a few days with Matthew 24:14), the likely assistance to the two witnesses by the scattered flock (Revelation 20:4; cf. Luke 9:2-6), the three angel’s messages (Revelation 14:8-11; plus other angelic interventions), and the witness of those persecuted and martyred for Jesus (cf. Revelation 17:6). And then Jesus will return and establish the Kingdom of God.

Thiel has been slyly hinting that he will be one of the two witless witnesses for quit some time now.  He will not directly say he is one of the two, but he feels he is.  He also believes his message will lead to great persecution for some in his personality cult.


Thiel thinks that because he  speaks out against Catholics and those that are ecumenical, they will soon try to kill him and his followers.

Being killed as the result of persecution is seemingly also part of the final phase of the work that some of God’s people will endure:

12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. 13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.” (Revelation 14:12-13; cf. 6:11)

Thiel obviously has been reading the Dave Pack Play Book because he too feels his ranks will soon swell to impressive numbers. COG members will soon flock to this last great work spearheaded by Thiel.  The  only problem with this influx of new members is that mos of them are fake Christians because they will not sick by Thiel's side in times of trouble.

It is possible that this short work will temporarily swell the ranks of the Church of God (including some Philadelphians, but perhaps with many Laodiceans and many others not truly faithful—many may well fall away—though some of the first will be last and the last first, cf. Mark 10:31). Some will be faithful and bear fruit, while many others may leave (cf. Matthew 13:18 -23; 2 Thessalonians 2:3) once the persecuting tribulation that seems prophesied to occur prior to the Great Tribulation hits (cf. Matthew 24:9-10;21). Then the end will come.

As Bob grows into his two witless witness position he and his group will face more and more persecution. The news media and others will start going through his literature with a fine tooth come where they will mock it.

Partially because the message of the COG, the people of the holy covenant, will enrage the upcoming prince/king of the North (Daniel 11:28-30). One or more associated with the Continuing Church of God will be identifying that the European “prince” (Daniel 9:26-27) who is rising up to become a king, will not be able to truly bring peace, but instead about bring war and will be in league with the final Antichrist. This will likely trigger major media coverage. Scrutiny of real, as well as claimed, COG literature will likely happen and various aspects of real and incorrect COG doctrines will likely be ridiculed. Final Phase

Thiel continues to suffer from humiliation by Rod Meredith and others who mock his self-appointed status.  He feels he is too great of man to deserve this ridicule.
