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.
Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web of Corrupt Leaders
A Glasgow employment tribunal has ordered a charity to pay a former employee £13,400.
Grace Communion International has been told to pay the sum to Rachel Montgomery, who was employed as a communications coordinator.
The tribunal found the charity, which runs 23 churches across the UK and Ireland, guilty of disability-based harassment and victimisation.
Montgomery was employed by the charity from October 2020 until her sacking in March 2022.
After her contract was terminated, she claimed the charity had refused to take account of her dyslexia – a protected characteristic under disability legislation.
In September 2021, the tribunal heard there was increasing friction in the working relationship between the claimant and Peter Mill and his wife Jackie – pastors at the Edinburgh Church she worked from. Peter had management responsibilities for the claimant in some areas.
On 7 September 2021 the claimant emailed Gavin Henderson, national ministry leader at the church, with the subject heading ‘Workplace Gaslighting’. That was a grievance against Peter and Jackie Mill.
That email included “The subject of gaslighting in the workplace 15 is the topic I’d like to bring to your attention because if this is something I’m suffering then others my [sic] also be suffering as this is something that happens vertically and horizontally in management. For that reason I can’t stay quiet although I am fully aware of what I’m risking in doing so.”
It also found Montgomery’s claim of victimisation was partially successful.
A further grievance was raised, this time against Henderson, in December 2021.
A zoom meeting was held in November 2021 about the management of the church and its website.
On 5 November, Montgomery sent another email to Henderson about the meeting, saying she was “perturbed” about the mention of her overseeing the website, which was incorrect.
The email reads: “It has left me feeling puzzled that it wasn’t corrected, in regards to a website that has not been completed.
“The possible consequences of this might well result (and viewing last night’s comments, already have resulted) in a negative perception of my abilities.”
On 8 December the claimant emailed David Silcox, chair of the board, to raise a grievance against Henderson.
In the email, Montgomery claimed her role was being “deconstructed” and changed to an administrative role.
She claimed she would not be good at the role because of her dyslexia.
The email reads: “Given the severity of things that have happened over the past couple of weeks, I really need to activate whistleblowing now and I need to understand what protections I have as an employee.
“I am sorry to say that over and above this, I want to raise and proceed with an unlawful harassment and discrimination complaint against Gavin Henderson.
“My job role since raising a grievance is being deconstructed at an astonishingly quick speed and I have been subjected to meetings with no agenda regarding performance which has come as a surprise as I’ve never had complaints about my work before.”
A board meeting was held on 27 February 2022 in which the board decided to terminate Montgomery’s contract.
The tribunal concluded her claim of harassment based on her protected characteristic of disability was successful.
It also found Montgomery’s claim of victimisation was partially successful.
Claims concerning whistleblowing, automatic unfair dismissal, disability and sex discrimination were dismissed by the tribunal.
She was awarded £13,428 for injury to feelings, including interest.
It is another day in COGland and I was looking for the latest wackadoodle comment by any COG minister, and one of them did not disappoint! These guys seem so eager to step up to the plate and make complete jackasses of themselves and because of that, I just have to post it.
This time it was the loyal sidekick to the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel, the self-appointed, nonCOG-ordained Chief Overseer of the greatest Church of God ever to exist outside of a delusional mind. Herbert Armstrong would be sooooooooooo proud!
Steve Dupuie is not happy! There seem to be a lot of ravenous wolves, flatters, and grumpy people in the ranks of the improperly named "continuing" Church of "god". The Great Bwana Bob Mzungu is constantly seeking to prove to us he has the most superfantabulous Church of God to ever exist. One that is filled with the most unified and spiritually mature Christians ever to walk this earth. We have all known this is a load of bunk for some time, even before we found out about the witch doctors, money laundering, and other nefarious activities going on in Africa.
Here is Steve, in his own words:
Ravenous Wolves and Grumblers
Steve Dupuie defines ‘ravenous wolves’ as those who are within the congregations of the true church, but they do not truly believe the truth–they also tend to want to draw members after themselves. He mentions that they are following Satan’s pattern. Steve Dupuie defined grumblers as those who are within the congregations of the true church, but who complain, as well as those who tend listen to talebearers who grumble about church leadership. He points out that God warns us through Jude and others. He stated that the Jesus warns of wolves and grumblers who are also not congregants; in the Book of Matthew–he says their only interest is to destroy the flock. Steve Dupuie mentions grumblers and flatterers that are prophesied to arise in these latter times from the Book of Daniel. He mentions that the time will come when the coming King of the North will turn against the Continuing Church of God. Steve Dupuie mentions that while they may not outwardly appear to be wolves and grumblers, we should be able to know them by their fruits.
Jesus Christ did not bring the Kingdom of God at sunrise, but Pastor General David C. Pack fully expects the brethren of The Restored Church of God to be generous with their Pentecost offerings this morning. Those green envelopes will provide a crucial infusion of funds to keep the Biblical Tall Tales Series right on track until the Feast of Trumpets in October.
Right about now, sad panda David C. Pack may be wondering what he missed for the 82nd time since March 2022 as his crack team of ghostwriters scramble to manifest a new narrative before the PM Announcements. But on the bright side, at least Dave is right about being Elijah. Or is he?
During “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 515)” on June 1, 2024, David C. Pack told the brethren of The Restored Church of God that he was not Elijah (wink-wink) while providing evidence that he was Elijah.
Flashback Part 515 – June 1, 2024 @ 1:28:25 I’ve said to you, brethren, I am not Elijah.I’ve maintained that.
David C. Pack does not believe that. Not for a second.
He has verbally gone back and forth whether he is or is not Elijah the Prophet mentioned in Malachi 4:5. David C. Pack first announced he was Elijah in 2015 with a six-hour, three-part message delivered on the longest, most excruciating Sabbath in RCG history. Those of us who were trapped at Headquarters on January 24, 2015, remember “First a Moses, Now ELIJAH—130 Proofs!” all too well.
Back then, there was no wiggle room for whether David C. Pack believed with his whole heart that God had specially chosen and trained him to fulfill that role to usher in the return of Jesus Christ just in the nick of time.
But, after some quality time with prophetic failures, David C. Pack started backing away from rubbing Elijah in the brethren’s noses after more and more people left RCG, calling him a false prophet. Because that is precisely what he is. Unto this day.
The legacy COG doctrine that offices are given by God flies in the face of David C. Pack denying his Elijahness. According to his own book, he does not have the authority to take or put away an office God placed him in.
And there are no take-backs in Bible prophecy. He either was never a prophet or always will be.
David C. Pack’s recent denial reiterates that any doctrine held by the righteous at The Restored Church of God is subject to the veto power of a non-dunamis man and that the cowardly hirelings at Headquarters who claim to hold fast to Bible truths expose their own hypocrisy for allowing heresies to continue without consequence.
The man who literally wrote the book about God’s Government bends the rules whenever it applies to himself. Being at the top of the theological food chain certainly has its benefits.
Headquarters enablers like political smoothie Bradford Schleifer, non-critical thinker Edward Winkfield, gutless pacifist Ryan Denee, and financial schemer Carl Houk all expose themselves as unprincipled capitulators for allowing their human idol to continue without accountability just so they can keep their jobs. Taking a stand on biblical principles to Dave’s face is a one-way ticket to the parking lot.
Shame on the lot of you.
Not only does David C. Pack disregard his own literature and clear passages in the Bible, but he also disregards his own words.
Flashback Part 515 – June 1, 2024 @ 1:09:03 “Thus speaks the Lord of Hosts, ‘Behold, the man,’ that could be the Son of Man, ‘whose name is the Branch.’” Now, when it’s talking about me, it usually uses my name. Or Joshua.
If that were true, how can he say this a week later?
Part 516 – June 8, 2024 @ 05:23 “…that shall come upon your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas in one day. They shall die, both of them. And I will raise me up a faithful priest.” Now, that’s Elijah.
You can read all of 1 Samuel and not find Elijah mentioned once. There are two mentions of Joshua the Bethshemite, but that is not Joshua the High Priest. The entire book of 1 Samuel never mentions Dave.
David C. Pack rewrites the Bible as he reads it, injecting his corruptive interpretations onto the page. Why? Because Dave needs to feel special and places himself all throughout the Bible, whether a name is in the verse or not.
David C. Pack does not need ANY name in a verse to apply HIS name to it. He preaches that he is “the righteous from the east” and “the goodman of the house" when no names exist. His "when it's talking about me" statement is a flat lie.
Part 516 – June 8, 2024 @ 05:36 "…and I will build him a sure house, and he shall stand, he shall walk before my anointed forever." So, it tells you Elijah (in a sense, I don’t mean to reduce it), but he’s the frontman. He’s in front of Christ. Christ is behind him, ruling (reigning, if you will, using the Greek) in the midst of his enemies. So, Elijah’s kind of a mouthpiece before the Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord.
When Dave first dreamed up the doctrine that the introduction of Samuel in the book of 1 Samuel was about Dave instead of Samuel, it was shocking because he provided no evidence. He simply read Elijah into the verse, which has been “fact” ever since.
It really is too bad the verses in 1 Samuel are not referencing Samuel as the faithful priest because he is missing out on being IN FRONT of Jesus Christ. However, since Dave is not Elijah (wink-wink), it seems odd that he is so interested in promoting Elijah when that fulfillment has nothing to do with him.
Whoever Elijah actually turns out to be (wink-wink), he will be God’s frontman and mouthpiece. Being in front of Jesus Christ is a hefty role. After laboring for over 516 parts of a never-ending series, it is hard to fathom that David C. Pack is not the least bit jealous of whoever this Elijah person winds up being. Wink-wink.
Despite Dave's gossamer lip service that he is not Elijah (wink-wink) in Part 515, during Parts 516-518, Elijah keeps emerging where he is not mentioned.
@ 21:26 "The Lord shall judge the ends of the earth, and he shall give strength to his king." And now you're not gonna give strength to Christ. I know for a fact that’s talking about about Elijah. I could take ya to four verses that prove it. "He gives strength to his king and exalts the horn of his anointed." Now, that's that's we we already saw that’s talking about Elijah.
Talking until it becomes true is an effective way to prove biblical authenticity. David C. Pack once believed he knew the date for the return of Jesus Christ as surely as he knew his own name. With that kind of assurance, how could he be wrong? You know, with Pentecost today being the exception.
It is often noted that a liar will eventually get caught because they cannot keep all the lies straight.
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. David C. Pack believes he is Elijah despite his empty protests in 3…2…1...
Part 517 – June 8, 2024 @ 07:16 This year, Pentecost is on the 10th [Sivan]. Why would God have me counting the sizes or Elijahcounting or measuring the Temple and showing it on the 10th and calling it the beginning of the year?
David C. Pack tells you everything you need to know whether he speaks the truth.
By the time he reached Part 518, he was no longer trying. Dave can say he is not Elijah (wink-wink) all he wants, but any honest thinking person only half paying attention can connect False Teaching A to False Teaching B to arrive at the super-secret decoded answer C: David C. Pack believes he is Elijah.
Part 518 – June 11, 2024 @ 40:26 The man who succeeded Moses was named Joshua. The man who who succeeds him in the modern age is Joshua the High Priest. He’s got his own human name. And he’s called Elijah and various things, but the point is, there's a Joshua that succeeds a Moses succeeded Moses long ago.
• David C. Pack denied he was Elijah again during Part 515. • David C. Pack claims he is Joshua the High Priest. • David C. Pack reaffirmed that Joshua the High Priest is Elijah. • Since Joshua the High Priest is David C. Pack and Joshua the High Priest is Elijah, then Elijah is David C. Pack.
When David C. Pack denies he is Elijah (wink-wink), he lies to the brethren of The Restored Church of God. And they must love to have it so because they keep paying him to continue doing it.
From his own mouth, David C. Pack exposes himself as a terribly transparent fib-teller. His mouth makes the sounds, “I am not Elijah,” so that Jaco and the hirelings at Headquarters can give quotes to the unpaid field mollusks to cling on to and throw at concerned brethren and prospective members.
To enjoy the authentic effect of a rapid-fire doctrinal mishmash, watch Frank Kelley’s Elijah Compilation video. It is unintentionally hilarious.
The brethren of The Restored Church of God have grown frighteningly accustomed to being tossed to and fro by Dave’s hot air ex-cathedra. This has been going on for years.
Flashback Part 243 – March 28, 2020 @ 1:16:59 But I am not Elijah now. I’m a messenger. There nobody else that’s a messenger. I understand that, and I understand who gets raised.
Even back then, Dave was adding a little wink-wink.
Flashback Part 374 – June 8, 2022 @ 1:32:49 So, if it’s true that I am Elijah the Prophet now, then this is a lock for next week.
@ 1:34:31 Look, you know my heart. As recently as this week, I've gone I've said, "No, no, no, no, I'm not. I'm not Elijah.” I still wanna say I’m not.
Flashback Part 381 – July 9, 2022 @ 1:14:13 So, the ancient John [the Baptist] was a prophet who proceeded Christ, but he knew that he was not actually Elijah. So, I am not Elijah the Prophet. Not now, not ever.
Flashback Part 389 – August 24, 2022 @ 37:29 Elijah is a title, brethren.
Flashback Part 447 – June 6, 2023 @ 2:02:42 Now, the fact that He’s [God] revealing this to me,I have to be a prophet. Ephesians 3:5 says it.2 Peter 1:20-21–you can’t reveal these things to a prophet and maybe a bunch of prophets or at least two more if they’re in the room. I have to be Elijah now.
Flashback Part 515 – June 1, 2024 @ 1:28:25 I’ve said to you, brethren, I am not Elijah.I’ve maintained that.
Choose wisely which David C. Pack you believe because both are winking at you.
