Dave Pack and The Tammuz Disaster of 2022


Marc has a new blog entry about Dave Pack's ongoing epic failure rate regarding his Tammuz prophecies.

I keep waiting for Dave to pull a fast one by proclaiming that Tammuz 15 actually happened, but "spiritually". That is the easy out Sabbatarian/Adventis have used for decades. 

Instead of just humbly admitting he was wrong, he doubles down and keeps adding new dates.  Now, as he moves into Av he will set more dates but is looking more to Elul 15. That date, being close to COG Feast of Tabernacles, will be a prime target as date diarrhea hits him big time. 

As the months go by and the years, how long will the members sit there and swallow this crap?


The Tammuz Disaster of 2022. 
 
That is what those inside The Restored Church of God will refer to what happened between June 30th and July 28th of this year. 
 
Staff and visitors to Headquarters will now be instructed, “Never mention the word ‘Tammuz’ to Mr. Pack. That gives him a brain boo-boo and his pouty lip will take hours to go away.”


Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again 
and Expecting Different Results

This quote is often attributed to Albert Einstein, but according to QuoteInvestigator.com it is from an Alcoholics Anonymous pamphlet printed in 1981. It was altered from the original: “Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.” 
 
Unlike all those unconverted, sinning drunkards who actually are trying to make positive changes in their lives, David C. Pack keeps repeating his mistakes while showing no signs of slowing down or attempting a different strategy. 
 
Dave has opted to embrace the start of the month of Av as a range of dates for the “possible” beginning of one of the kingdoms of God. And the 1335 is mixed in there somewhere. 
 
Only faithless stupid-faces would leave RCG now. When things are so close. Now that the Series is over. And the Mystery of God is fully understood. 
 
In Part 384, Dave speculated (no utterance from God, mind you) it “could” happen from between Av 1 to Av 5. If he had left it there, then we could have called this, “David C. Pack’s Extended Weekend Failure.” 
 
But, his self-doubt broke free from the mental shackles and was running rampant.


Check out the complete article here:  David C. Pack’s Prophetic Boo-Boo

The best part of the article is the list of words Dave needs to drop from his vocabulary. My favorites out of the list are these:

• Nothing has changed except
• I was right, but
• It finally became clear
• You have the complete picture

The Disunified COG Will Have 12 Different COG's Gathering In Branson Missouri For The Feast Of Tabernacles

Church of God News has up its annual list of COG's that allow open attendance at their Feast of Tabernacles. The exclusionists, like Living Church of God, Philadelphia Church of God, and Restored Chruch of God do not allow visitors.

Most sites listed have a single COG group meeting in the location, but not Branson Missouri. It has 12 different groups meeting there. Talk about unity in the Church of God! What a sad situation. On top of that, you can see from the list below that they cannot even agree on the dates and number of days they are gathering. There will undoubtedly be some church-hopping within these groups as friends want to meet up, but some of the groups will frown upon it.

Let's see how many of these folks will jump over and visit Bob Thiel's improperly named "continuing" Church of God. If they thought they would be bored out of their minds with some of the speakers at their sites, watching Almost Arrested Bwana Bob bounce around the stage would be a nightmare come true! The lake of fire never looked so good!

At least this time around multiple COG's in the same building is not happening, unless LCG, RCG, and PCG might happen to be there, and if they are, you can be guaranteed that there will be no Feast hopping. The chances of getting a friendly nod or even an uncomfortable greeting will probably not be happening.

 

The red number after the festival dates below is the calendar method.

Please see the Biblical Calendar 2022 for an explanation of the dates.
Many festival sites will be holding a service on the first evening.

LCG Friday Night Smackdown: LCG Members Are Too Easily Distracted And May Not Be Able To Rule In The Kingdom Of God With Jesus

 


Please brethren, STOP being so easily distracted! You are not going to be able to rule with Jesus in the Kingdom to come unless you stop! Heck, you might not even become a god if you continue down this path.



First Things First: We certainly appear to be living at the end of an age. It is also an age of distractions—where job and personal concerns, television, social media, and having fun all compete for our attention. In the parables of the sower and of the ten virgins, Jesus warned that such a time would come (Matthew 13:18–23; 25:1– 13). The prophet Isaiah also warned that we must “seek the LORD while He may be found” and that we must forsake any evil ways that we may have (Isaiah 55:6–8). In order to develop and maintain a close relationship with God, David made time to pray three times a day—in the morning, at noon, and in the evening (Psalm 55:17). Paul reminded Church members in Corinth of the importance of nourishing the gift of God’s Spirit within us on a daily basis (2 Corinthians 4:16). We do this by making time for regular prayer and Bible study and by taking time to meditate on why we have been called and how we are progressing in our spiritual life (2 Timothy 2:15; Proverbs 4:26–27). Our overall goal should be to develop more of the mind, perspective, and character of Jesus Christ. Are we really doing these things—or are we frequently distracted? As we head toward the climax of this present age, let’s strive to make the most of the time we have (Ephesians 5:15–16) to walk in the footsteps of Jesus as we prepare to rule with Him in the coming Kingdom of God. Let’s put First Things First!
Have a profitable Sabbath, Douglas S. Winnail
