It was back during one of Dave Pack's delusional prophecies, now completely failed and replaced by others of equal or greater failure value, that Dave made up a questionnaire for any splinter ministers, who might be drawn to RCG and regain minister status, to fill out in full Dave's intrusive and self humiliating questionnaire. It can only be assumed that now, all those men under Dave Pack's thumb in ministry have passed with flying colors or they would not be in the position they are in.
Why did you do that? Why are you so unable or unwilling to see the completely failed ministry of David C. Pack by now?
Can you not recognize Dave's narcissistic needs and that he is using you to fulfill them?
Do you know a personality disorder when you see one?
Why can't you recognize delusional thinking and one theologically misguided teaching after another?
How can you really believe Dave Pack is spoken of in scripture?
Why does that not make you uncomfortable that he believes he is?
Is it position you love in an organization that virtually no one on the planet has ever heard of?
Do you enjoy repressing your views and thoughts , which I assume are sincere and hopeful with regards to all things theological, in favor of saying "yes sir" to Dave's thoughts on all things which time and again have proven to be totally false?
What are you afraid of? Loss in income? loss of self esteem (You have already lost it I suspect) ? What others will think of you? Family problems and consequences?
Why do you tolerate one failure after another in Dave's prophetic fantasies?
Did you think last FOT that Dave was really going to walk away and "not return to his home" because Jesus was coming by the end of the Feast?
Just how many times can you endure "We didn't understand but now I do" apologetic repeatedly following each failure in his dangerous theological games?
How much of your authentic one of a kind self have you had to repress to pump up and fuel Dave Pack's ego and ludicrous vision of himself?
Why can't you even see Dave Pack has a ludicrous vision of himself?
Do you ever consider the danger you are putting your family in following Dave and being in RCG?
Ever thought "I hope we don't end up on the front page with all this"?
Are you simply hoping Dave will calm down, settle in, and let you teach I Cor 13 to your members and drop the Old Testament view of God and the Prophets for the New Testament one of Jesus and Paul?
Is it possible you don't understand that all the soon, shortly, quickly and nights being far spent is not for you today and simply the mistaken notion of the people to whom it was written?
Is it possible Dave Pack presenting falsehoods enthusiastically are still falsehoods?
How would that realization change your ministry and your life?
Are you afraid of being disillusioned?
Why would you want to believe illusions?
Why did you agree to taking Dave Pack's "So you want to be in the RCG ministry?" emasculating and intrusive questionnaire?
Are you secretly sorry you had to but at least you got in?
In case you forgot what you agreed to inform, admit and reveal to get back into ministry.
Dave required you to answer...

(15) Are you willing to temporarily or permanently become an associate pastor?(16) Are you willing to be excluded from the ministry until you requalify?(18) If your ordination(s) is(are) invalid, are you interested in being re-trained for Christ’s trueministry?(19) Do you believe ministers should be able to voice opinions to others about:

If you need to talk confidentially, please get in touch. If I can't help or my personal dislike of what Dave Pack represents makes you uncomfortable, I will point you towards those that can and who want to help you make the best and well thought out transition possible
