Gerald Flurry: God Just Gives Me Something He Does Not Give You!

 

Why is it that Church of God leaders are such appalling narcissists?

United Church of God - Pitting Brother Against Brother?

Armstrongism has always tried to paint itself as this oh-so-unifying church, the kind that magically turns the hearts of the children to their fathers. Rainbows and lollipops everywhere, folks—pure utopia! Yet, almost every member knows this fairy tale is about as close to reality as Bob Thiel qualifying as a genuine Christian. Shattered marriages, obliterated families, lives snuffed out by suicide and murder. Ah, yes, the glorious ninety-year legacy of Armstrongism, leaving a blood-soaked trail in its wake.

One of those charmingly dysfunctional clans is the Kitchen family. Things aren't exactly rosy in Kitchen-land—shocker, right? 

They've treated us to some spectacularly public meltdowns several times over the past few years, especially after Samuel's botched bid to herd folks off to Petra a couple years back. That little fiasco sparked massive division among the Kitchen brothers. Then their younger sibling had the audacity to decide he wanted zilch to do with the steaming pile of Armstrongist nonsense they were peddling. Naturally, he got branded the villain—because why not blame the sane one?

Now, brother Timothy's cozied up at the United Church of God, where he's probably spilling the beans to Aaron Dean about what a total whack-job Samuel has devolved into. Oh, to be a fly on the wall for those chats! Fingers crossed Timothy can finally kick back from all the absurdity, plop down with Aaron over a cold beer, and cackle their heads off at the whole ridiculous mess.

The UCG is more of a senate of Rome type of government. Far from what was restored through Mr Armstrong. 

 

The outside is outside. Those inside are inside. To support the UCG and its organization, is to step away to the outside. 

 

No there isn’t a second church of God, but there are organizations of men pretending to be the succession of the church, while the wolves got them surrounded. Our Good Shepherd just wants repentance and trust in Him. 

 

Faith. Not our puny human faith, but the living faith of Jesus Christ! 

 

My brother received attacks for what I’ve been saying, and he’s been attending with the UCG. Your people put my brother against me! That was the reason why he came out in a bashing article! 

 

He was already against me, but insult was added to injury. Why should he be attacked? Why are cowards attacking their own members, because of something i am saying here? 

 

Who devours who? Some sheep aren’t sheep. They keep the sheep in line. 

 

Who opposes the apostle? Who says he isn’t part of the foundation of the Church? A sheep? A Shepherd? Or a wolf? Sometimes men have let Satan use them too much, that a wolf comes out when it should have been Christ in them. 

 

When will have to change, before it’s too late?

Sinning COG men who celebrate birthdays while sitting on doctrinal committees are wearing colored shirts as they rob God

 

Since when is it a salvational issue that COG men serving MUST be dressed in a white shirt? Samuel Kitchen claims it is shameful towards God to wear a colored shirt in church, especially if you are a leader. Rod Meredith pulled a stunt like this in 1974 when he popped his veins, screaming about men wearing pink Izod polo shirts. The next time the class met, most of the class wore them just to piss him off even more.

People are also supposedly asking Samuel Kitchen to take on the reins of a minister. What the holy hell!

This is the result of decades of pulpit pounding men focusing on irrelevant things instead of being followers of Jesus and teaching about Him and what He accomplished.

More eternal words of wisdom from Samuel Kitchen:

God says we’ve been robbing Him of tithes and offerings! Haven’t you given to your church organization? 

Haven’t you benefited from tithes and offerings in these churches? 

Why then is the Temple of God in ruin? Who among you seek to restore what God has ordained? 

God says to put the tithes and offerings into the storehouse, so there may be meat in HIS HOUSE.

Yet it is spent in the houses among Babylon, these variety of church groups and works. 

Not one of these groups is supporting the Worldwide Church of God. They all expect those who came from the Worldwide Church of God to support them.

Who came out of whom? Who convinced us to feel shame towards what God ordained holy? Sounds like Adam and Eve after sinning. Now we are made to feel shame of the Worldwide Church of God, that which God ordained, because of sin and wickedness.

Just as they were barred from the garden of Eden, so will anyone who tries to enter the Kingdom any other way.

Why is priority and importance placed on these church organizations over the Worldwide Church of God? 

 

Why are women wearing makeup? Why are birthdays celebrated? Why do men serve with no white shirt? Why is a doctrinal committee established? Why was a “regional pastor structure established by Victor Kubik in 1993, and used to form the UCG? Mr Armstrong abolished and gave instructions! Why wasn’t he obeyed? Oh….because he died? Is that a valid reason?

I’m not here to call upon destruction to befall anyone. But God giving you all a chance to repent and turn things around.

Dave Pack News Flash: Headquarters Couple Leaves The Restored Church of God

 

Newsflash: Headquarters Couple Leaves The Restored Church of God

David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God was a little salty last week because a couple and one other person attending at Headquarters in Wadsworth, Ohio, quit his spiritually corrupt organization. During “The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 606)” on November 8, 2025, the Pastor General lamented this “naïve” wife just “strolled away with her husband” out the door because he “broke her because she’s the weaker vessel.”

Ever deflecting and never the direct reason why people flee The Restored Church of God, David C. Pack’s fingers have not gotten tired of blaming external evils for his biblically fraudulent organization’s dwindling numbers. But certainly not the 600 sermons of malarkey.

Part 606 – November 8, 2025
@ 53:15 It's the lies and the half-truths and the misrepresentations that can cause this.

What lies, Dave? What half-truths? What misrepresentations?

Those sound like the talking points Headquarters trains the field mollusks to say when concerned members bring up documented facts and uncomfortable reminders archived at exrcg.org.

Lies are not necessary for valid reasons to leave The Restored Church of God.

Half-truths are not necessary for valid reasons to leave The Restored Church of God.

Misrepresentations are not necessary for valid reasons to leave The Restored Church of God.

If anyone wants to find verifiable facts free of lies, half-truths, and misrepresentations, please visit exrcg.org. The channel on YouTube hosts the video evidence.

@ 53:20 Think. This husband could not possibly have believed a kingdom was just weeks away. Impossible.

No discerning, critical-thinking, bible-believing person would either. The failure of Kislev 16 on December 5 is inevitable, like the 135 others before it, and is just one uncomfortable suspicion away from being disproven by the man who taught it. At that point, the couple were not rebels. They were ahead of the curve.

One of David C. Pack’s strategies is to pit husbands and wives against each other. When couples have a doctrinal issue, they try to separate them to manipulate them individually. Two men will team up to work on a woman to get her to flip on her husband. That is standard operating procedure in The Restored Church of God.

@ 1:01:24 And you can't be a pastor like I am …without weeping over people that leave.

Raise your hand if you believe David C. Pack weeps for anyone.

As an added bonus during Part 606, David C. Pack paid homage to his "father in the gospel" by explaining 23 prophetic understandings that his mentor got wrong. Herbert W. Armstrong, Pastor General of the Worldwide Church of God (WCG), was forbidden by God to understand bible prophecy correctly despite being an apostle and the Messenger to the Sixth Era who led a church of over 100,000 members for fifty years.

Dave humbly admitted there were only 23 examples because he was reciting HWA's errors without a prepared list. He confessed that there are many more.

In contrast, only Pastor General David C. Pack understands bible prophecy accurately because the Book of Revelation and Daniel have been unsealed to him. Please disregard the painful truth that he has been wrong since August 2013.

Despite being free of corporate debt, The Restored Church of God limps along without any discernible plan for the future, with no will to herald the good news of the coming Kingdom of God. No new literature. No new videos. No new advertising campaigns. No new fruits letters.

Members are aging out, and more in the Headquarters congregation have their eyes on the exits. David C. Pack will now need to ponder if that is a lie, a half-truth, misrepresentation… or a proven fact. Stay tuned.
