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
The Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel and his sidekick Steve Dupuie are back once again, lying to Continuing Church of God followers that tithing is a New Covenant command. This kind of convoluted reasoning comes from people entrenched in the law and the Old Covenant, and who do not recognize what was accomplished by Jesus with the New Covenant. Following the law brings comfort and stability to those weak and unable to think for themselves. The need to teach others what and how to believe is a powerful drug that the die-hard Armstrongists wallow in and so they will lie to followers day in and day out giving them all kinds of lists and things to do to make the god they claim to follow like them and given a "get out of jail pass" into the kingdom. Fear and guilt are the two main tools of control COG leaders have over members. It is time to break free from those shackles.
You need to throw away every book, booklet, article, and video made by any Armstrongite minister or church leader telling you that tithing is commanded. They are liars if they do.

The prominent African-American Creflo Dollar has admitted his tithing requirements were wrong. Those tithes bought him jet planes, fancy homes, etc., with which he has been widely mocked.
Listening to him below, he admits he woke up to the freedom of God's grace instead of being under the Mosaic covenants.
The concepts he brings across are the same revelation that the Worldwide Church of God came to understand about tithing. It is not commanded in the New Covenant under grace. People give because they understand they are blessed by God. Tithing was used as a tool of guilt and fear in the church.
Dollar says: Religion is sustained by two factors: fear and guilt.
Challenging popular Evangelical belief, controversial televangelist Creflo Dollar, one of America's most flamboyant proponents of the prosperity gospel, has renounced tithing and all his previous teachings on the subject as "not correct."
He also urged his followers to "throw away every book, every tape and every video I ever did on the subject of tithing" but says he will not apologize for his error.
In a Sunday sermon billed "The Great Misunderstanding," the founder and senior pastor of the nearly 30,000-member World Changers Church International headquartered in College Park, Georgia, said he is aware that his declaration will cause him to lose friends and invitations to speak at other churches.
However, he said he is convinced, after studying Romans 6:14, that tithing is an Old Testament concept that has been retired in the dispensation of grace in which Christians should now be living. "I want to start off by saying that I'm still growing, and the teachings that I've shared in times past on the subject of tithing were not correct," Dollar began in his June 26 sermon.
"And today, I stand in humility to correct some things that I've taught for years and believed for years but could never understand it clearly because I had not yet been confronted with the Gospel of grace, which has made the difference."
"I won't apologize because if it wasn't for me going down that route, I wouldn't have ended up where I am now," he continued. "But I will say that I have no shame at all at saying to you, throw away every book, every tape and every video I ever did on the subject of tithing unless it lines up with this." Televangelist Creflo Dollar says teachings on tithing ‘not correct’ but won’t apologize to followers
It is interesting reading the comments tied in with the video above by people who want to continue to live under the bondage of tithing and the law. Just like many in Armstrongism, tithing is the one thing that the church has brainwashed members into believing they are commanded to do. Tithing makes the COG merry-go-round function. Without this lie funding their so-called ministries would not be around today.
What David C. Pack is doing in The Restored Church of God is turning more bleak, and the brethren would do well to start paying attention.
The Pastor General is determined to prove to the world that God’s Spirit is working directly with him, providing special hidden knowledge that must be haphazardly rushed out before Jesus Christ can return.
Can you imagine trying to work with someone for ten years and they still keep getting it wrong? Talk about an exercise in perpetual frustration.
If you were attending The Restored Church of God and happened to be locked in a time loop vacuum from April 26 to May 3, 2025, you would have been fully anticipating the arrival of the Kingdom of God today at dawn because during “The Greatest Untold Story!” Parts 573-575, Pastor General David C. Pack gave all the assurances it would come on Pentecost. In fact, proving it was just so darn easy.
Part 573 – May 3, 2025 @ 02:19 But proving it’s Pentecost is falling over backwards without even being pushed. I mean, it’s just that easy.
@ 44:43 …nowhere does God say, “It’s Pentecost.” But He duddn’t have to. He says it in so many ways it’s it’s [chuckles] it’s almost silly to say, “You’ve got to tell me it’s Pentecost.”
Part 574 – May 3, 2025 @ 51:59 Pentecost 2025 is the only date that cannot tarry.
David C. Pack is so spectacularly incompetent that he is incapable of following the laws of physics. Even "falling over backward" is a monumental challenge too daunting to be done correctly despite the proclaimed ease of such a maneuver.
David C. Pack Failing at Easy Because Easy is Just Too Hard™
Despite his grandiose theological claims, David C. Pack is just a man and is subject to the psychological functions of the human brain. His brain may be utterly broken, affording him the self-permission to speak with ridiculous audacity, but his psyche has an understanding of what he really is.
David C. Pack’s personal psychological defense mechanisms occasionally surface during sermons, primarily when he attacks the nature of others that resides in himself.
Criticizing the behaviors of others that you hate within yourself is known as “The Pot Calling the Kettle Black.”
During “The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 466)” on September 7, 2023, David C. Pack leveled substantial refutations against Gerald Flurry of the Philadelphia Church of God, even calling him a lunatic. While handing out disgusted proclamations for Flurry, Dave was preaching that the Kingdom of God would arrive on The Feast of Trumpets. In 2023.
Dave also capitalized on his sermon time to elevate himself as the Messenger of the Covenant and the Star Out of Jacob. The “Kettle Black” article documented the jaw-dropping blindness.
Flash forward to “The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 577)” on May 24, 2025. PCG’s Pastor General escaped the deluge of ironic ire, but the Jewish scholars were taken to task.
Part 577 – May 24, 2025 @ 08:46 But the Jews saying that Exodus 19:1 is the New Moon almost made me doubt it. Well, I did more research to see where they came up with it, and it is really bad.
RCG’s resident false apostle is supremely insecure and craves attention like an 18-year-old Instagram influencer. Since his neurons fire along the same pathways as us all, he is a prisoner of his own psychology and has no control over how his psychosis manifests.
The Pot Calling the Kettle Black A proverbial idiom from Thomas Shelton’s 1620 translation of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra’s “History of Don Quixote.” The phrase identifies a situation in which somebody accuses someone else of a fault that the accuser shares. Some resources claim this is an example of psychological projection.
Psychological Projection As a defense mechanism, it helps protect the ego from anxiety-provoking thoughts or feelings. By attributing these unwanted aspects to someone or something else, the individual distances themselves from what they find unacceptable within themselves. This process helps reduce internal conflict and preserve a more favorable self-image.
Individuals attribute their own undesirable feelings, thoughts, or motives onto others. This process allows individuals to cope with their own insecurities by perceiving them in others instead.
David C. Pack is coping so hard during Part 577.
Spoiler Alert: God has a sense of humor and is a fan of irony.
The Pastor General has a love/hate relationship with the Jewish people. He pivots from praising them for being the “oracles of God” to calling them Remphan-worshiping idolaters who killed Stephen for attacking their love of Christmas trees. Yes, he really said that.
Each highlighted point is precisely what David C. Pack does himself, but cannot see it. Read the highlights if you want to understand the broken mind of a self-delusional false apostle brimming over with self-righteous superiority.
Part 577 – May 24, 2025 @ 08:56 In fact, they actually have a false motive.Their goal is to put Pentecost on the 6th of Sivan every year. And so they they literally force the story of Exodus 19 to say that Pentecost comes on the 6th through a series of wild inventions. They're just inventions. But they're only made possible if you declare that to be Sivan 1 when Israel arrived at Sinai. You hafta do that. Then, you have to twist Moses' journeyings up and down the mountain and what happened to get to the 6th for the privilege of the Jews never, ever, ever keeping Pentecost [chuckles] on the right date. So, when when you when you when you pervert the story, I'm not saying they were they were corrupt to arrive at a perverted date for Pentecost. It makes me wonder if your understanding of Exodus 19:1 being a New Moon instead of the middle of the monthis its own perversion that leads to to a worsening of the problem. So that was just suspicions. Well, after more time studying it, believe me, they are wrong. And you will not doubt it. You will not doubt it.
Dave was not done warming the backside of the Jewish scholars behind the woodshed. The exquisite blindness is almost divine as Dave acknowledges the blindness of others in 3…2…1…
@ 43:46 Now, I don’t know.I can't explain why the Jews don't see it, except there's a veil on their heads.They can look right at a series of miracles for years and say, “Kill the man who does that.” That’s the same mind. Yet, they’ll go on to be amazing people.
For the third whooping session, Dave took issue with how the Jewish scholars interpreted Ezra 3:8-10’s timing of the Temple being built.
@ 1:11:48 So, the Jews will tell you it was the third day. And you go read their their explanation for why it was the third day‘cause it duddn’t say there. And I’ll be I’ll be I’ll be generous to their description. This–I’m gonna give them the I’ma put the best face on their description I can put on. This is the kindest I can be. It’s gobbledygook. That’s over, eh–I mean, it wuddn’t that good. They just invent a date.
Wow. Just…wow.
The Black Kettle Answers The Pot The kindest I can be to David C. Pack is that he has been teaching gobbledygook for over 577 Parts. He just invents dates for the return of Jesus Christ and the arrival of the Kingdom of God. He provides his private interpretations of the Bible because he inserts what it duddn’t say there. He has false motives for preaching “The Greatest Untold Story!” which serves as a continuous self-focused platform to elevate himself. He literally forces the story of the Bible to fit whatever current narrative he desires through a series of wild inventions. They’re just inventions. He twiststhe verses to say what he wants, perverting the story of the Gospel into a corrupt present truth that is quickly abandoned despite claiming inspiration from the Holy Spirit. Believing he is David Passover, Elijah the Prophet, Joshua the High Priest, the Seventh Angel, the Branch, That Prophet, the Goodman of the House, the Messenger of the Covenant, and many others is its own perversion that leads to a worsening of the problem.His blasphemy against God’s Holy Spirit has reached astounding levels. Anyone in RCG studying their Bibles would know. Believe me, Dave is wrong. David C. Pack cannot see what he is, and his blindness is so complete and profound that he must have a veil on his head.
Luke 6:39 …Can the blind lead the blind? Shall they not both fall into the ditch?
David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God has convinced himself that God is guiding him to teach “The Greatest Untold Story!” Series that began on November 14, 2015. For 577 messages, he has taught that he is found throughout the Bible and reminds the brethren weekly how pervasive his mentions are.
The dozens of biblical titles he claims only begin with being Joshua the High Priest, Elijah the Prophet, and the Seventh Angel of Revelation.
When you believe God is moving you to preach everything you do from the front of the Main Hall in the Hall of Administration, then every speculation, lie, and failure is merely part of the divine process for reaching the Kingdom of God.
Accountability is for suckers.
Until the brethren in The Restored Church of God recognize they do not attend "God's One True Church" and that David C. Pack has absolutely no authority over their path to salvation, they will choose to remain trapped despite their awareness that he is a false teacher, false apostle, and false prophet.
Insulating himself with cunning sycophants like Bradford Schleifer, Edward Winkfield, and Carl Houk, the Pastor General has reinforced the walls of self-delusion and madness.
When you reach that elevated level of unmatched human excellence and cosmic importance, blasphemy and idolatry are inevitable. It also means your brain is broken in an awful way.
The psychiatric phenomena known as Jerusalem Syndrome has been thriving in Wadsworth since 2005 when David C. Pack first claimed to be an apostle and then Joshua the High Priest in 2009. By 2015, unveiling himself as Elijah the Prophet and That Prophet were not stretches.
The Jerusalem Post has an extensive article about the theological illness that has spread to Ohio. Since none of the Headquarters enablers attempted to stop the prophetic lunacy from taking hold, it has since thrived and expanded.
The Cambridge University Press reports on a study with some elements of Jerusalem Syndrome that should ring familiar to the brethren of The Restored Church of God.
Individuals from [Type 1, Subtype I] strongly identify with characters from the Old or New Testament or are convinced that they themselves are one of these characters. Their conviction reaches psychotic dimensions.
People who suffer from Jerusalem Syndrome in Israel typically recover without specific medical treatment. All those people need to return to a normal mental state is separation from biblical sites.
Treatment and Recovery Type III does not usually involve visual or auditory hallucinations. …Their condition usually returns to normal within 5-7 days; in other words, a short-lived episode followed by complete recovery. …but recovery is quite often spontaneous and not necessarily due to the treatment. Experience has taught us that improvement is facilitated by, or dependent on, physically distancing the patient from Jerusalem and its holy places.
The problem with David C. Pack’s broken brain is that he lives and “works” in isolation within his own created Jerusalem. The Campus is the World Headquarters for the Work of God, where Jesus Christ will come to start the Kingdom of God on earth and to bless His chosen servant with exousia to preach to the entire world. Billions of people will hear and obey the voice of David C. Pack, and it will be glorious.
I bet Dave can almost taste that sweet vindication. It is so very close.
No wonder Dave cannot wait for the Kingdom to come and desperately needs something prophetic to manifest on Sivan 15 on June 11, 2025. He will get to prove to Gary, Dennis, and me that he was right all along, and billions of heathens better do what he says, or they could be tossed into the Lake of Fire.
That is a lot to give up by admitting God was not guiding you and that “The Greatest Untold Story!” Series was a pointless flop with no biblical significance that consumed a decade of members’ time. After building a multi-million dollar business on the singular idea that "We are the only ones who know the truth," acknowledging it was utterly false after ruining countless lives in the process would be an exquisite horror worth recounting by H.P. Lovecraft and Clive Barker.
Any sane person facing that kind of pure abject failure after decades of misguided devotion and self-delusion would find the miserable experience brain-breaking.
It is a good thing that David Passover is the real deal, and he will never need to face the stark reality of being so fundamentally wrong about his core beliefs. Not just religious beliefs but excruciatingly wrong about the very nature of who and what he is.
Despite having over 300 articles on exrcg.org, there are still jaw-dropping moments leaking from Headquarters that shock and baffle by David C. Pack’s nth-degree blasphemy and audacious lack in the fear of God.
Two instances illustrate the point.
During "The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 571)" on April 19, 2025, David C. Pack told the brethren that in Revelation 10:6, when the angel swore to God, he was speaking of David C. Pack and the end of his Series.
Part 571 – April 19, 2025 @ 10:34 In Revelation 10:6, when it says “there’s time no longer,” Christ [the angel] raises His right hand and sweared swears by God and everything God ever made in the universe, everything He ever made, that “there’s time no longer” after a man finishes making the Mystery of God clear.Now, nowhere in the Scriptures does God ever invoke such an absolute swearing [chuckles] on a moment and then tie it to after a Series ends. So, if you were I, [chuckles] y–you would you you would be very attentive to that.
Bible scholars should note that Revelation 10 is all about David C. Pack.
David C. Pack taught that Jesus Christ swore to God the Father about David C. Pack.
Just in case anyone wonders if the Pastor General misspoke or was unfairly quoted out of context, he repeated the concept again a few weeks later.
Part 574 – May 3, 2025 @ 01:03:01 There are only two places where Christ stands and swears. Once at the end of this Series. The end of this Series.He swears at the after in the days of the voice of the Seventh Messenger, when when the Mystery of God is finished, he he will he he’s about to sound and the Mystery of God is finished. And God swears there’s time no longer after that happened. It’s an absolute promise by the same Jesus Christ, who’s swearing there, that once it does start, there are three and a half years from a Pentecost,where there’s time no longer…
During this message, David C. Pack taught that the Kingdom of God would arrive on June 1, 2025. He was so convicted about Pentecost that he was willing to place God's name and an oath by Jesus Christ on that certainty.
@ 1:12:16 And if it’s the year it happens and doesn’t happen, you’ll never hear me say it’s other than Pentecost.
After exploiting God’s name for leverage, only a person with a truly broken brain would recant this one week later. The severe gravity of this act escapes David C. Pack.
Part 575 – May 10, 2025 @13:13 But the day is not May 31st [Pentecost begins at sunset], which is what we’re waiting for, becomes May 21st [Iyar 24]. And we’d have to ask, “Wow, real simplicity in Christ.”
David C. Pack casually strolls into another religious danger zone without a care in the world. May God have mercy on him.
Despite being proven wrong since August 2013, David C. Pack fancies himself as the intermediary steward between God the Father and Jesus Christ. Likening himself to John the Baptist, Dave’s words usher the arrival of the Kingdom of God just around the corner. Time is running out to send in your money, so act fast before the doors are shut and you are left missing out.
He may be Patient Zero of Jerusalem Syndrome in Ohio, but the All-Believing Zealots inside RCG cultivate the toxic belief that their Pastor General is preaching the truth inspired directly by God when all tangible evidence concludes the opposite.
To further compound the risk of eternal consequences, David C. Pack claims God’s Spirit is the inspiration of his ever-changing prophetic doctrines, even when those “proofs” are repeatedly proven false.
David C. Pack makes God and Jesus Christ liars.
He preached the Kingdom of God would begin on Abib 1, 2025.
Part 559 – February 22, 2025 @ 1:11:18 Nobody's gonna see Abib 1 come and say, "I got this all figured out." I've been studying the Bible a long time, and it took a long time to figure it out. Nobody’s gonna figure out without the Holy Spirit what all eleven disciples combined couldn’t figure out.
He preached the Kingdom of God would begin on Passover 2025.
Part 564 – March 22, 2025 @ 1:01:34 I have to be smart enough that God's Spirit can work through me. I have to have a certain amount of talent, but it's His Spirit that showed me things.
Part 565 – March 22, 2025 @ 10:57 Now, brethren, I get these thoughts, and, again, it's simply God's Spirit working with me.
He preached the Kingdom of God would begin on Iyar 24, 2025.
Part 575 – May 10, 2025 @ 01:42 Now, I don’t know if I’ve ever explained it quite this way, but the learning process is for me is just try to follow where the still small voice of God’s Spirit leads. This sermon is the result.
He preached the Kingdom of God will arrive on Sivan 15, which is June 11, 2025.
Part 577 – May 24, 2025 @ 04:48 But, again brethren, I I I’m up here trying to listen to the still, small voice of God’s Spirit. I can go to four or five different verses that say that’s how He works with His with His leading ministers, apostles, and prophets on matters of truth.
David C. Pack is not a leading minister of Jesus Christ. He is not an apostle and he is not a prophet. The words from his lips are not matters of truth. History proves this.
RCG members who read this while still paying his salary should consider their ways. They are choosing to support a proven hypocritical blaspheming liar, false apostle, false prophet, false teacher, and human idol.
The Restored Church of God is not "God's One True Church," and Pastor General David C. Pack does not speak the truth with God's authority but instead continues to blaspheme the Holy Spirit with impunity.
His brain is broken. His brain is filthy. Flee from The Restored Church of God before you become infected by the same condition. For some sitting beside you, it is already too late.
