Exposing the underbelly of Armstrongism in all of its wacky glory! Nothing you read here is made up. What you read here is the up to date face of Herbert W Armstrong's legacy. It's the gritty and dirty behind the scenes look at Armstrongism as you have never seen it before!
With all the new crazy self-appointed Chief Overseers, Apostles, Prophets, Pharisees, legalists, and outright liars leading various Churches of God today, it is important to hold these agents of deception accountable.

You LCG members who read here had better start being humble and teachable or things are not going to go so well for you. You had also better take advantage of all that "wise council" the ministry has to offer you. Do it now!
Seek God’s Guidance: In the world today, it is common to want to “do your own thing.” However, the Bible records the tragic results of this approach (Judges 21:25; Jeremiah 9:12–16). In the Scriptures we are admonished, “Seek the LORD while He may be found” (Isaiah 55:6). We are also told that God looks on those who are humble and teachable and “trembles at My word” (Isaiah 66:2). King David modeled the attitude that God is looking for when he wrote, “Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes... Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:33, 105). Jesus Christ instructed His disciples to “live by... every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). We are also advised to seek wise counsel to avoid making bad decisions (Proverbs 11:14). An important lesson in life is that to succeed in any endeavor, we must seek God’s guidance and get wise counsel when we make decisions—because that leads to lasting rewards.

Living Church of God has been on a roll lately in its outreach to various cities around the United States and Canada. The potential audience to draw from is in the multiple millions of people, yet hardly anyone shows up.
This past week they had 5 presentations with potential audiences to draw from of over 8,622,406 people. From that great field ripe for harvest and with millions filled with the deep desire for the "gospel" LCG (it is attempting tp promote), they were able to draw in 120 people. That's right, 120 people. Of which at least 60 - 90 were LCG members in attendance to pad the audience. Other than Bob Thiel, there has never been a COG with such massive outreach. Jesus is pleased.
Last week, we held five initial Tomorrow’s World Presentations: two in Montreal, Quebec, Canada (one for French-speaking subscribers and one for English-speaking subscribers); Albuquerque, New Mexico; Louisville, Kentucky; and Cincinnati, Ohio. These presentations had a combined total of 120 guests. This week we have eight presentations scheduled. Two initial presentations, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada; and Kansas City, Missouri; and six follow-up presentations, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada (combined English and French); Albuquerque, New Mexico; Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom; Fargo, North Dakota; Louisville, Kentucky; and Cincinnati, Ohio. Thank you all for your continued prayers for these presentations.

You know that guy that promises to help you move? The one who tells you ten times over that you can count on him and he will be there when you need him the most?
But then the day comes, and he does not show up. When you finally get a hold of him after the work is all done, there is nothing but endless excuses. No reasons. Just excuses.
That guy is David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God.
Elul 20 has barely begun here on the East Coast, and Dave is already spinning in circles to create enough force to suck all the logic out of the air in the room. There will always be another explanation for why XYZ did not happen as WE thought.
For those just tuning in, the prophetic “backstop” for the 10-day Kingdom of God failed to appear beginning at sunset tonight. I cannot help but wonder if the Feast of Trumpets is now in jeopardy.
This excuse-rich text was posted in Member Services on the evening of September 15, 2022.
Prophecy Update
With now 10 days before Trumpets, do we end our hope tonight? Or could the day when everyone seems to be watching actually be tomorrow (Friday) night? Here are a very few questions and comments to ponder as we wait a little longer:
- Would the 10 days of tribulation (Rev. 2:10) really exclude the day of the Lord, so filled with tribulation itself? Put another way, could the “dayS of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled” (Luke 21:22) really exclude the ultimate “day of the Lord’s vengeance” (Isa. 34:8)? No!
- Job asked God to “hide me in the grave…until your wrath be past” (Job 14:13). How could he be raised to begin Trumpets, with the “the great day of His wrath” (Rev. 6:17) still ahead?
- The dead (including Job) are raised “at the last trump” (1 Cor. 15:52). How clear that this must be deep into the Day of Trumpets, which involves many trumpet blasts—before Trumpets is extended into the wonderful day it becomes when the veil is removed over all nations and all tears are wiped away at the time of the great feast of wine on the lees!
- Much, much more could be added that has come clear…
Put plainly, the tenth day of tribulation IS the first and bad part of the day of the Lord/Trumpets. Thus, our wait extends one more night—and does in fact involve the Sabbath exactly as we have long suspected!
This means the Headquarters congregation can look forward to ANOTHER excruciating Sabbath where they are expected to waste their time after the meal watching Dave squirm while he shreds the Bible. The folks in the front row have gotten pretty good at feigning interest.
While at The Restored Church of God, if I was as bad at my job as David C. Pack is at his…I would have been fired. I am beginning to think the wrong one quit.
To alleviate the disappointment of the brethren, Dave stepped into the Main Hall to record this brief little ditty about his prophetic teaching skills. It was done in the spirit of "having a little fun."
