Gerald Weston Compares Maui Fire To Lot's Wife and Sodom

 

Why is it that COG leaders have to be such total jerks? 

Their minds dwell in a constant state of death and damnation. Utter destruction is constantly present in their graceless minds. 

Just imagine you were a resident of Maui and lost family members or friends in this tragedy and then read what Weston wrote below. 

What can we expect though when Weston and his band of merrymakers look at everyone outside their little enclosed group as so-called or even pagan Christians. Because they don't follow the teaching of Herbert they are blinded sods that will suffer fiery punishment either now or in the future when the angry god of Armstrongism unleashes hell on earth while Weston and his followers picnic in Petra.

Dear Brethren and Co-workers with Christ, 

 

We are all saddened by the fiery devastation that hit the Hawaiian island of Maui. Thousands lost virtually every possession they once had, and the death toll continues to rise. As I write, 99 are confirmed dead, but only 25 percent of the homes and businesses have been searched, so the death toll will almost certainly rise. 

 

We can only imagine the terror of those fleeing the rapidly moving flames. One lady described telling her children to “run and don’t look back.” She then told them not to worry about her. “Just run for your lives.” I could not help but to think of Lot and his family as they were told to flee from Sodom and not to look back. 

 

Nor could I help but to think of a time in the future when the Church of God will flee from Satan’s persecution. “Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time [three-and-one-half years], from the presence of the serpent” (Revelation 12:13-14).

He then continues on with this drivel by saying that LCG members and lazy Laodiceans in other COG's will not make it to Petra where he and the truly righteous will receive their final training to be future gods.

While some will flee to a wilderness hideout, we see that other true Christians will hesitate. “And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:17). These are those described in chapter 3 as being neither cold nor hot. “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see” (Revelation 3:16-18). 

 

Sadly, many will be caught off guard and will be too spiritually blind to see the danger. As with Lot’s wife, they will look back, not wanting to leave what they have. Jesus speaks of this coming time. “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. ‘In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back’” (Luke 17:28-31).

Weston then brings us back to the Maui fire and talks about Lot's wife, again:

He then gives us this warning. “Remember Lot’s wife [who turned back]. Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it” (Luke 17:32-33). There will be no secret rapture at the time of Christ’s return. There is a time of fleeing—a time to “get out of town” and leave everything behind, just as the people of Lahaina had to do. We do not yet know when that time is.

What happened in Maui was not the time, prophesied in Scripture, of God’s servants fleeing from an enraged Satan, but it holds a lesson for all of us. As in so many disasters, such as 9/11, the difference between immediate action and hesitation may mean the difference between life and death. Tragically, in the case of Lahaina and elsewhere in Maui, the clear path to safety was not always obvious and many innocent lives were lost in the confusion.

Weston cautions to not believe that the Maui residents were worse sinners than the rest of humanity, though secretly LCG members are many steps above those grievous sinners. 

There is another lesson we may learn from this tragedy. We read that, “There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices” (Luke 13:1). Jesus asked this important question: “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish” (vv. 2-5).

Weston brings up other human tragedies. Tragedies that he and the LCG used to their own benefit as examples of God spanking the world for failing to see that the Living Church of God is the one true church with the one true doctrine that impotent god had lost for 1,900 years. 

Human tragedies occur every day, but occasionally one is so great that it captures widespread and historical attention. Such is the case of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake that took an estimated 3000 lives, or the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which claimed some 300. We likely remember the December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and the 2011 tsunami that destroyed the Fukushima nuclear power plant along with thousands of lives. The Maui firestorms will no doubt be etched into our memories.

Weston ends with this:

We look forward to and pray for God’s Kingdom to come. In the meantime, our hearts and prayers go out to the people traumatized by the Maui firestorms.
Sincerely, in Christ’s service,

Gerald E. Weston

Dave Pack: The Messenger of the Covenant Lashes Out At Gerald Flurry

The Kettle Black

 

The lunacy of David C. Pack continues to unfold. The Pastor General of The Restored Church of God realized that if he can get away with being Jesus Christ a little, he can get away with being Jesus Christ a lot.

 

Evolving beyond being the Branch and Shepherd of Israel, during “The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 466),” on September 7, 2023, David C. Pack added more names under heaven by which he shall be called.

 

David C. Pack is The Messenger of the Covenant

David C. Pack is The Star Out of Jacob

 

With all the name-claiming, it is easy to forget that tomorrow, September 15, at sunset, is when the Feast of Trumpets will begin.

 

The Kingdom of God WILL NOT Arrive

Friday, September 15 at 7:36 PM ET

 

This will be another occasion when David C. Pack exposes himself as a biblical fraud and prophetic liar who has no idea what he is talking about. There is no amount of clarifying he can vomit on the brethren during Part 469 today to erase that as a fact of history.

 

 

David C. Pack reminded the audience how important he is in God’s plan for all mankind. This would ward off any doubters who might throw shade on his glory.

 

Part 466 – September 7, 2023

@ 01:14 In Zechariah 3, we finish with the subject of Joshua, who is the Branch.

 

@ 04:28 You know, the Bible says that this Fig Tree will shoot up. Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and the Olivet Prophecy. So, that helps you appreciate that Elijah is this Fig Tree.

 

Wow, Dave. Are you sure you want to be a Fig Tree in the New Testament?

 

Matthew 21:19

And when [Jesus] saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on you henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

 

Mark 11:20-21

And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saying unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which you cursed is withered away.

 

If David C. Pack is referenced in the Bible, it is in ways he cannot begin to fathom. He is undoubtedly a fig tree with no fruit. Might he someday regret calling himself that?

 

@ 05:26 So, that’s a powerful corroboration of what the Branch is. That it could never be Christ, the Vine. 

 

@ 07:08 Now, I want to explain a principle of what I would call "Cascade Learning." If ya learn something big, then it cascades.

 

Dave really loves his little catchy phrases. In this way, he convinces himself how “clever” he is.

 

@ 07:24 …if the Branch is not Christ in the First Year in His Kingdom and His Kingdom moves here [Second 7-Year Kingdom], there are other things that flow with that…well, there are other things that tend to line up.

 

Error begets error. Once you throw out the true Gospel, the true Jesus Christ, and the true God, then, yeah…other things tend to line up. This cascading pattern has been on a downward trajectory ever since Dave announced himself as an apostle in 2005.

 

His personal Bible studies this past month must have given him seizures of ecstasy.

 

 

@ 08:59 So, here's the related question: Who is the Messenger of the Covenant in Malachi 3:1? Who is the Messenger of the Covenant?

 

Based on his long-documented history of behavior and techniques, we already know the answer because of the question. David C. Pack is telling the Restored Church of God members that David C. Pack is the Messenger of the Covenant.

 

@ 09:13 I’ve assumed it’s one of the other names for Christ. Did he sort of was the Branch? Well, no, He’s not.

 

Nobody assumed Jesus Christ was the Messenger of the Covenant. Malachi described John the Baptist announcing the Messiah. Moses presented the Old Covenant. Jesus Christ came to present the New Covenant. These are not assumptions.

 

@ 09:30 Is that true? Can we prove who the Messenger of the Covenant is? I’ll just say this issue has given US fits. Trying to figure out when this Messenger of the Covenant appears, for instance.

 

The only person suffering fits in The Restored Church of God over this is David C. Pack. There is no “us” in there. The Messenger of the Covenant already came. He was documented in the New Testament.

 

For all his assertions that the Worldwide Church of God assumed and he assumed, Dave has the same challenge to prove he is the guy rather than Jesus Christ. The same “assumption” obstacles block his direct path to the “I AM” declaration. Yet, he suggests, hints, and implies his way through the Bible to nail down that he is the Messenger of the Covenant, not Jesus Christ.

 

@ 24:52 “And the Messenger of the Covenant, whom you delight in.” We gotta talk about that.

 

@ 42:48 God’s people delight in a coming Elijah. We all talked about him. This is a man that people delight in.

 

This is a malignant narcissist’s wet dream. If you play the video in slow motion, you might find the moment Dave soiled himself with rapturous anticipation of the masses delighting in him.

 

Nobody who spends any significant time around David C. Pack delights in him. Nobody.

 

The All-Believing Zealots do not count. They only get transient moments of his fleeting attention here and there. The misguided, unhelpful brethren in the field who write those “This will get Mr. Pack’s attention” love letters to a man they never met do not count, either.

 

Those who know David C. Pack do NOT delight in David C. Pack. Ask any of his kids.

 

The folks stuck on the third floor of the Hall of Administration can testify to this. That place is never more lively and full of laughter with a casual atmosphere than when Dave is not around. When he is away on vacation, you would think everyone on that floor sipped Mai Tais instead of coffee.

 

When David C. Pack is in the office, that place is a morgue. Try calling me a liar on that one, Brad.

 

 

This strategy of spreading the wealth will appeal to the egos of some.

 

@ 27:02 Now, that’s an example of further cascading knowledge. If this is not Christ appearing because He’s revealed a year later, and it’s Elijah appearing, then you’re gonna appear with massive power, and hundreds of millions or potentially even billions under you will see you.

 

@ 27:22 You see why it’s important to see this? And this is part of why I’m so excited at the end of the Series.The Mystery is going away. It’s just getting plainer and plainer. But not just about Elijah. You’re all branches.

 

Brethren, do not accept the promised fruits of David C. Pack. He is a man who cannot deliver.

 

Matthew 21:38

But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.

 

Matthew 4:8-9

Again, the devil took him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And said unto him, All these things will I give you, if you wilt fall down and worship me.

 

Genesis 3:12

And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

 

Why does all RCG Bible study lead to revealing more and more Dave?

 

It is not like he discovered the Branch was actually Paul. Nor does he realize the Messenger of the Covenant was maybe Peter this whole time. Dave’s focus is never on some important yet unidentified biblical church figure in our future who will do all these great things the Bible foretells.

 

No. Every road sign in the Bible points in the same direction: David C. Pack. And at the same time, the signs just so happen to point away from Jesus Christ. That should deeply concern the brethren of The Restored Church of God. Do they even consider what they are actually hearing?

 

Dave is the explorer who plants his flag atop Mount Dave in the name of Dave for the Kingdom of Dave, commissioned by the Ultimate King Dave.

 

For far too long, too many people have wrongly thought about how important Jesus Christ is in the Bible. It took David C. Pack to come along and straighten all that heresy out. It also insults Christ to keep believing the old ways.

 

David C. Pack is a coward who lacks the conviction to declare what he is really saying:

 

“I must increase while Christ must decrease.”

 

@ 41:24 There’s no way the Messenger of the Covenant could be Christ.

 

Dave projects the desired result of his self-aggrandizing blasphemy onto his audience in 3…2…1…

 

@ 48:28 So, by now, I gue-there can’t be a single person in here who believes Christ is the Messenger of the Covenant.

 

Well, that’s over. No need to examine this topic again in the future.

 

Oh. The quippy "Cascade Learning" led Dave to realize he is also the Star of Jacob in Numbers 24.

 

@ 1:00:42 “…Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion” in the Last Days when the mountain of the Lord’s House is set up. That cannot be Christ. So, we cascaded from the Branch to the Messenger of the Covenant to what's a Star. We’re all of all of those things.

 

More Jesus Christ-centric title evictions are coming in the subsequent Parts. That is some Error Cascade.

 

 

The Pot Calling the Kettle Black

“The expression the pot calling the kettle black is an idiomatic phrase that people sometimes use to point out hypocrisy. It means that someone is criticizing another person for a fault they have even though the criticizer is also guilty of doing the same thing.”

 

“It means a situation in which somebody accuses someone else of a fault which the accuser shares, and therefore is an example of psychological projection or hypocrisy. Use of the expression to discredit or deflect a claim of wrongdoing by attacking the originator of the claim for their own similar behavior (rather than acknowledging the guilt of both) is the tu quoque logical fallacy.”

 

God has a sense of humor and is a fan of irony. During Part 466, listeners were bestowed with one of the most beautiful moments of irony in the entire Series. David C. Pack reminds the audience about the shortcomings of Gerald Flurry of The Philadelphia Church of God.

Dave's distaste for Gerry was so vitriolic he had to write a book refuting him titled Is “That Prophet” Alive Today?—The Rise of False Prophets. That book is often quoted on this website and is still crucial reading material for all current members of The Restored Church of God.

After establishing Gerald Flurry as an untrustworthy source of information, Dave offers keen insight only he is qualified to levy.

 

@ 32:57 …and his whole thing was Malachi’s Message. And he believed that Malachi’s Message was a message to the ministers of The Worldwide Church of God…”

 

Said the pot to the kettle in 3…2…1…

 

@ 33:05 …which is lunatic. It’s lunatic.

 

David C. Pack is too arrogant and too utterly blind to see how Part 466 is his own personal version of Malachi’s Message. He literally reads from Malachi, teaching Malachi’s message that he, David C. Pack, is the Messenger of the Covenant…in Malachi. I can barely fathom the perfection of this.

 

Dave continued to ignore the image staring back at him in the mirror. I truly hope these words rang in the ears of the brethren of The Restored Church of God.

 

@ 33:23 And thousands followed that false prophet.

 

Dave could now only wish he had “thousands” in the plural. RCG is less than 1,500 and falling.

 

@ 33:34 Every word he uttered about it, every word, was false.

 

I wonder what standard David C. Pack employs to label Gerald Flurry a false prophet today. When he wrote the book, it was because Gerry claimed he was That Prophet. Since Dave took that away from him, what measure does he use to level that kind of judgment now?

 

David C. Pack has surely forgotten the metrics he used years ago to weigh such a matter and come to that logical conclusion. He cannot remember why he knows, only THAT he knows. To ponder the reasons at this point would be too painful and self-realizing to consider.

 

If in 2023, Gerald Flurry is still considered by David C. Pack to be a false prophet, why does RCG no longer distribute the landmark literary masterpiece, Is “That Prophet” Alive Today?—The Rise of False Prophets? 

 

Hey, Brad. What are the legitimate RCG standards now for discerning whether a man is a false prophet or not? If the Pastor General can set dates, change doctrines daily, and take upon himself the names of Jesus Christ, what else could he possibly do to cause concern for the enabling hirelings at Headquarters?

 

Instead of criticizing, Dave should consider Flurry a brilliant innovator. After all, he thought of taking all those names away from Christ years before Dave did. Even in this, Dave is just a less successful copycat wannabe.

 

 

For the brethren of The Restored Church of God who do not fret over words and accept the false dates as part of the prophetic-unveiling process, what are YOUR standards for discerning a false prophet? The Bible gives clear warnings and descriptions. Based on only biblical parameters, what would it take for someone to say or do to cause you to conclude that man is a false prophet?

 

How well does Pastor General David C. Pack stand up to that kind of honest scrutiny?

 

Consider your ways, brethren. Consider.

 

While preaching from the Book of Malachi, David C. Pack calls Gerald Flurry a false prophet and a lunatic. Meanwhile, David C. Pack is the false prophet and lunatic. What a gift of a moment in the Unending Series.

 

@ 40:22 This is far from one-man show, which the guy who spews out this baloney about Malachi’s Message always wants it to be.

 

One man’s malarkey is another man’s baloney, I suppose.

 

Since David C. Pack molests the Scriptures but is generous enough to offer the brethren a turn, how does that make his words any less false?

 

@ 1:38:10 He's gonna hasten His word, and it starts at Trumpets. And enjoy your life until that time.

 

Enjoy your life until…? What an odd thing to say.

 

The Feast of Trumpets will come and go this weekend. David C. Pack will still be left standing on the platform, waiting for his false christ to bring a false kingdom commissioned by a false god, and it will not come.

 

Brethren, discern the pot from the kettle. Both of them are black.
