Restored Church of God Employees and Ministers Call RCG Compound "North Korea"

Restored Church of God 
Employees and Members 
Doing Morning Exercises


I asked the person who sent me the document to define the "common" comment on the pdf.  I had a feeling I knew what he meant but wanted to make sure.  Dave Pack has always considered EVERYTHING that the members owned, held in retirement accounts, checking accounts, savings accounts and property investments to be HIS or whatever he is currently envisioning himself as god to be.


"Common" is now used to got as much money as possible under the umbrella that if you have any extra money, houses, ira´s, any other money.  This is from where the disciples held everything in common with each other, they sold their houses, they sold their property, lands, and held everything together in common help those in need  assist the poor and needy. Now it's used to get as much money to build the headquarters building and pay the staff there.
The problem with Davey and crew is that this money is NOT held in common and is NOT used to help the widows, poor, hungry and homeless in the church.  It is used ONLY to fund Davey's pet projects at his cult compound and to fund the salaries of his yes men.  The widows, orphans and poor in the church continue to suffer will Davey lives in his gated oasis of luxury.

Watching Davey's videos and sermons one can get a glimpse of the people that work or attend in Wadsworth.  Many look to be straight out of the village of Stepford.  There is no look of joy on most of their faces.  That could be because young male employees are encourage to turn their backs on their mother/parents, to disassociate with former friends and family members who were part of the COG, and the utter fear many have of offending the Dear Leader and losing their jobs.  That fear is quit evident in the following:



It is not uncommon for people even at headquarters once they leave and come into the field to articulate how its a North Korea type attitude with blinders on everyone singing and stating the same message.

Davey has always bragged on how he has the most superfantabulous Church of God to exist in human history. It is the largest, doing the biggest work, has the worlds most incredible web site and the most fabulous landscaped grounds to ever exist in Ohio.  Davey's world is crashing down around him with the rapid decline in membership and money.



RCG, at its highest about 2 years ago to 3000 members currently has less than 1500 members. this information was ascertained buy a minister who was also just disfellowshiped and  marked and a church member who was at headquarters who left to live in the field because of the stresses of being at headquarters.

Like the Worldwide Church of God, Living Church of God and Global Church of God in which Davey was part of over the years, he continues the tradition of manipulating numbers in order to impress the gullible membership.



The email concludes with the following comment.

Members who are in the field are not given that information, in fact there is a constant drumbeat of North Korea attitude. The joke is how are you doing today everyone is expected to say "I'm fine thank you" if any other answer is giving you are [reprimanded] because we are told quote "everyone has issues we don't need to tell anyone our personal issues except the minister."  In fact about a year ago Mr Pack gave a sermon that explains why we are to give that response and he gloated about how he was raised with proper etiquette and how church members need to follow in his steps. But if you happen to tell your minister you are then reprimanded and are questioned if you are paying your tithes and or do you have any other sins that need to be taken care of.

Davey certainly is creating a Korean gulag or his version of Stepford.  Happy faces are perpetually painted on and no one has problems that one discusses with others for mutual support.  That is VERBOTEN!

Restored Church of God Atlanta Imploding As Dave Pack ADMITS He Lied About Three COG Leaders To Be Killed By His "god"


A reader here sent me a long pdf on things he has seen happening in the Atlanta,Georgia  congregation of Dave Pack's, "Restored" Church of God.

The most telling comment he makes is that supposedly Dave Pack, in a Bible Study on December 20, 2014 ADMITTED that he lied about three COG minsters that were going to be struck down.
  • After announcing that he knew the 3 men (howling shepherds) in 2013, he now admits he doesn’t. Bible Study Dec 20, 2014
This "prophecy" by Dave Pack was one of the most foolish things that he has done so far.  He became the laughing stock of the entire Church of God throughout the world.  Not learning his lesson the first year he made the predictions (2013), he claimed it would happen AGAIN the following year (2014) because his timing was off in 2013.  When that failed last year he went into hiding humiliated but not humbled.

The Atlanta member then says  that the ministry in the RCG are blaming the members (no shocker there!) for their confusion over Dave Pack's failed prophecies and outright lies.
 
  • PROPHECY. At the beginning of the 1335 Series, he said he will never give dates. The ones he gave have changed 3 times already. Some people are so confused over the prophecy that they thought not to have the Holy Spirit. Their pastors have in fact insinuated that the lack of understanding is a sign of not being close to Christ, but the truth is, there is simplicity in Christ 2 Cor 11:3 If the prophecy was indeed complex, and God revealed it, it would be getting clearer, not fuzzier. 1 Cor 14:33 The one sure sign of the Haggai prophecy applies to RCG. Ministers leaving/being disfellowshipped, Membership plummeting, Finances drying up, Love growing cold. Hag 2:17

Next we hear that Dave's congregations are shrinking.  Just like Armstrongism has always done from the start, when ever things look bad, the church leaders stand up and paint a "rosy" picture.  They lied through their teeth then and still do to this day through Dave Pack and his minions.:

  • b. Local Congregation Growth: Holding steady or losing members is not growth. 
  • c. Overall Church Growth: Gone from right under 3000 to less than half in one year. Listen to an affirmation of the opposite from Bible Study Oct 25, 2014 
  • d. Mr. Armstrong’s quote about Growth, included in: The RCG: Fruit Found Nowhere Else (An Open Letter to the WCG Splinters) Even with a vertiginous declining membership, rosy pictures of growth are announced. Bible Study Dec 20, 2014 
Davey has been on a huge spending spree over the last two years.  In his vain attempt to duplicate all things Herbert Armstrong, and to cover up his dung heap of failures, he has been building new buildings and landscape his cult compound in Wadsworth, Ohio.  No matter how hard he tries, he just CANNOT attain the heights that Armstrong did.  Regardless of that though, he still demands members send him all of their money.  Yet to come is his mini-me auditorium.

  • c. While obscene sums are spent on unnecessary ventures, Ministers are going off Salaries and the sheep suffer 1Tim 5:18  
Just like Rod Meredith and Herbert Armstrong, Pack treats his ministers like dirt. Its their fault that Dave's prophecies failed.  Its their fault that money is not coming in to support Dave and his Sixteen men.  The ministers then turn on the membership treating them far worse that Dave did them.  Its an endless circle of damnation.

  • d. Ministers being scourged, verbally abused, psychologically murdered and blamed for the lack of membership growth in the Church. We have forgotten who grows the Church. 1 Cor 3:7, Acts 2:47
Having lying ministers in the Restored Church of God  is not unique just to them.  The entire ministry of the Churches of God has been filled with lying men all calming they ave some deeper insight to God's word than them embers do.

When things do not go right in the Church of God there is one direct reason for this.  Its the members fault because they GOSSIP!  Been there heard that one before!

  • f. Gossip has been expanded on time and time again. Yet we have heard sermons made up of total hearsay. Sabbath Sermon Nov 22, 2014 g. Harsh loveless affection-less rule over the sheep. Anoint Your Eyes - Pg. 169, Is “That Prophet” Alive Today - Bottom of Pg. 125 & 124 - Pg. 96 - Middle of Pg. 84 



The REAL Shining Light




A reader here sent in a new picture for James Malm to have on his blog site.  Malm considered himself tot  be the ONLY authority in the entire universe that is preaching the truth of the law.  For the last several weeks now he has been working over time on the latest COGWA controversy concerning the use of the pagan Roman calendar and "true" calendar he promotes.  Apparently COGWA kicked out two members over their insistence that the church was using the wrong calendar.  He has been taking their letter and commenting on their research and then taking a response from COGWA and ripping it to shreds.

Malm has been working overtime these past few years so much so that he cannot maintain a REAL job and has to rely on handouts from gullible chruch members.  He is typical of so many in Armstrongism who think they have been given new insights by their god that they are required to deliver to the Church of God.  All of theses people down through the decades have been nothing more than bloviating windbags.

Malm has spent many years now turning the hearts of the children against their fathers.  He actively seeks to disrupt various COG's by claiming he only wants to tell them the truth and that he desires they "wake up."  Just like those he condemns, he cannot and will not talk about grace, justification or sanctification.  Instead it is 24/7 about the law.  there has been no other man in the history of the modern day COG that has been as sinless as Malm...well maybe except for Rod Meredith.
