LCG: Do you forgive as your church leaders forgive you?


More enlightenment from Doug Winnail...remember boys and girls, learn to forgive people as your church leaders forgive you!

Please discard all memories and emotions from how you have been treated over the decades by church leaders. If you do not, then you are NOT a real Christian. Above all, never say negative things about your church leaders! Again, if you do, then you are NOT a real Christian. They would NEVER talk about you that way, would they?


The Importance of Forgiveness: A vital key for working together with others is the willingness and ability to forgive someone. The Scriptures tell us that we have all sinned, but if we repent, we can be forgiven because Jesus died for our sins (John 3:16; Romans 3:23–26). However, Jesus taught that we must be ready and willing to forgive others who offend us—or God will not forgive us (Matthew 6:12–15). Forgiving others involves not holding grudges or harboring bitterness, not seeking to get even, and not gossiping or saying negative things about others who have hurt us in some way. This is not easy, especially when memories, emotions, and personal pride are involved, but that is what we are admonished to do if we want to be real Christians—because real Christians are people who have learned to forgive. Forgiveness is a vital key that makes working in harmony with others possible, productive, and enjoyable.
Have a profitable Sabbath,
Douglas S. Winnail

Gayle shares her struggle with balancing the fact that she grew in a cult and the fact that her parents were good people who were just doing the best they could and not wanting to give them a bad name in any way. A real struggle inside to not be in denial and give credit where credit is due.

Tough Times Ahead As European Conquerors Will Soon Seize Assets Of All COG Splinter Groups


Tough times are ahead for all of these rebellious Church of God splinter groups who have incorporated themselves through legal paperwork with the state and national government. When the European invaders conquer the United States and start auditing the financial books of the Churches of God through audits, they will transfer all assets and money to European banks. Sadly, when this happens the various COG groups will not have the money to go to Petra where Bob Theil will be preaching for 3 1/2 years.

When this crap hits the fan, these pathetic COG groups will be really angry and then will lash out at the ONE TRUE Church of God, the Worldwide Church of God that is led by Samuel Kitchen. The persecution will be intense. Added to that persecution will be even more persecution because of climate change. Apparently, climate change is a Gentile construct and the Kitchen family wants all of the heretical heathens left in the COG's who really are nothing but Gentiles to LEAVE and join up with the Gentiles of the world.

What Christ through Mr. Armstrong in 1979 did, was establish the Worldwide Church of God as an unincorporated spiritual organism, showing evidence clear back to 1934, and on back to 31 A.D.
When these men went to the State to file for 501(c)(3) status, they placed "the Church of God" which follows them under CAESAR'S HEADSHIP.
Europe is going to AUDIT the assets they can SEIZE and TRANSFER from the United States and British nations. When you are registered with the STATE and FEDERAL agencies as a 501(c)(3) entity, you are placing yourself on their MANIFEST of Assets.
And so when a lockdown on the assets occur, when this nation falls, you won't be able to escape or travel.
But as people want to be more like the world around them, they will fight the truth.
Mr. Armstrong did not place the Worldwide Church of God, under the headship of Caesar. That is what the PUBLICATIONS and teaching materials of Herbert W Armstrong and the Worldwide Church of God declare.
Those losing their identity, and who are moving into these COG groups, are doing so through compromise of the truth, and sin.
So when these groups run into financial trouble, they like the world around them, will stand up and ACCUSE those of the true Church among them, of not DOING THEIR PART TO CHANGE THE CLIMATE FOR THEIR BETTER!
So they rob God's Tithes while pushing that ideology.
CLIMATE CHANGE- It's GENTILE. And if you want to be gentile, go and be gentile. But if you serve God, repent, and come away from all of that.
Hitler saw the tribe of Judah, the Jews, coming into prominence among industry, finance, banking, and politics among the nations of Europe and Germany. He looked at that as a DESTRUCTIVE against the Gentile nation Germany, who he believed SHOULD BE IN CHARGE. So he went to WAGE WAR on the children of Israel.
Today, EUROPEAN POWERS are looking to control the ISRAELITE NATIONS. This United States of Europe will do to all the nations of Israel, (USA, British nations and Western Europe)what Hitler did to the tribe of Judah.
And since the Worldwide Church of God was SO INFLUENTIAL when Mr. Armstrong was alive, in order to GAIN INFLUENCE over ISRAEL, the Worldwide Church of God had to be brought down.
But God says of His Church, they have been faithful, and so THEY HAVE NOT BEEN DESTROYED. They have not been killed off!
But the scramble is now to CONTROL the Worldwide Church of God through LEGAL instrument and CORPORATE LAW.
That's why those of God's people need to separate from these COG GROUPS, and repent. The Worldwide Church of God will not be controlled by CAESAR! Jesus Christ is our HEAD.

RCG: More Apologies To Mr. Putin

More Apologies To Mr. Putin

Paid professional prophecy hobbyist David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God believes his job is to teach end-time knowledge revealed by God before the return of Jesus Christ, which is currently scheduled for April 8, 2024.

One of the more pesky biblical thorns in the Pastor General’s flesh is nailing down the identity of the Sixth King of Revelation 17:10. David C. Pack boldly declared in “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 453)” that God provided the knowledge that the Sixth King was Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

Flashback Part 453 – June 17, 2023
@ 43:53 My job right now is to tell you about a man who becomes, in many regards, the most powerful metric in the Bible.

@ 52:08 [God] says He picks a man who wanted to know His heart and mind, so if this is correct (and it is), and it’s because God wanted to reveal it at the end.

By Part 461, Dave realized God did not pick him to reveal this.

Flashback Part 461 – July 29, 2023
@ 1:35:00 I’ma throw another thought at you, and I’m gonna be very discrete in how I handle it. I do not believe Vladimir Putin is the Sixth King. That’s all I’m gonna say…

The rise and fall of the Sixth King’s identity was documented in the articles King Poutine VI and With Apologies to Mr. Putin that both prompted letters to the Russian Consulate.

Like a jilted lover who never got closure, Dave rekindled his torrid romance with Mr. Putin as the Sixth King.

Flashback Part 483 – December 2, 2023
@ 1:39:20 And that’s it. If it's not Putin, well, then I wouldn't know who it is. …he's somebody out there, and there's one guy that fits the bill. He’s even real short.

Mr. Putin’s stature was an essential factor in determining who one of the most wicked human beings who will ever live might be.

Flashback Part 484 – December 9, 2023
@ 08:44 He is a flatterer. He’s also…called a Little Horn. Putin’s 5’6 ½”. …So, Putin is a very little man. There are things like that that go on and on and on…

Somehow, I knew this renewed infatuation was only temporary and did not have the stomach to toy with the heartstrings of our comrades in the Russian government. So, I held my peace. The last thing I wanted to do was to get their hopes up, knowing fickle Dave would probably dash them again.

And, of course, he did.

Flashback Part 492 – February 3, 2024
@ 1:28:38 And maybe we’ll talk a little more about the Sixth King. “What happened to him?” Well, I have an idea.

Dave had no idea. He was stalling but could not bring himself to utter the words denying Mr. Putin his world-destroying nobility again.

Maybe just enough softness remained in David C. Pack's "perfectly healthy" heart to spare the Russian President the sting of further rejection.

 


Time heals all wounds, and the mystery of the Sixth King of Revelation 17:10 was conclusively settled as of “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 499)” on March 21, 2024. But not before a little up-selling and psychological manipulation.

Part 499 – March 21, 2024
@ 01:09 So, we’re gonna have (maybe) the most inspiring message that you’ve ever heard before we’re done.

@ 02:03 It’s a wonderful time. We’re privileged to know that. No one else knows it. No other church teaches it. No one else knows it. It’s just they just see half of the dismal swamp, and that's sorta where that that discussion ends in most people’s minds.

Statements like that are why leaving The Restored Church of God is so difficult. Being specially chosen to receive wonderful special knowledge is hard to let go of, even when the Pastor General does not use the word "dismal" correctly.

@ 05:02 It’s almost thunderously obvious and impossible to argue with it. Just inarguable who is the Sixth King.

I really hope Mr. Putin is not reading this because that statement could cut deeply considering Dave never said that about him.

@ 10:20 It’s impossible that the Sixth King is anybody today. Remember, we’re making things plain. We’re removing the Mystery. Preparing the way for God. It’s impossible.

After much personal development and growth in maturity, David C. Pack updated his Facebook status. It revealed to the world who he could now publicly declare his unwavering devotion to, the one he called "the absolute monster from hell," "the antichrist," and "the wolf-thief-killer-destroyer."

The Sixth King is Nebuchadnezzar’s father, Nabopolassar.

Who knew that divine inspiration could manifest while tooling down the interstate?

@ 13:58 I just couldn’t pin it down. That’s why it was very good to travel. And all of a sudden, it popped into my head [identity of the holy people]. Just like Nabopolassar was the father of a son who loved him. Popped into my head on this trip.

The identity of the Sixth King popped into his head. Therefore, it must be true. All stable biblical doctrine can be firmly established by simple head popping in The Restored Church of God.

Wow, those “worldly” Bible scholars are such idiots for actually studying the book when David C. Pack can bound through passages and make long lists without ever cracking it open, which has been the secret sauce of his success since 2015.

 


Part 498 was jam-packed with totally permanent discoveries that will never change, such as the identity of the Sixth King, the Holy People, the Sheep, and the Ten Virgins.

 

@ 24:25 So, that’s important. Tells us we’re right on track.

Mr. Putin had to learn a hard lesson when he paired up with David C Pack. Abib 1, beginning at sunset on April 8, will face the same disappointment.

@ 26:11 So, let’s just make this as plain as we can. And if you do not leave here today more electrified than you've ever been in the whole Series, then I failed.

The entire Series is a testament to David C. Pack’s failure despite how he spins it. The constant barrage of how amazing what they are hearing is repeated. It eventually seeps into their minds whether they believe it or not.

@ 25:28 The greatest single thing I’ve ever learned in the Bible will follow what this comes off of [identity of the 10 Virgins]. Other than the coming of the Kingdom of God itself. I’m gonna give ya the greatest truth you have ever heard ever heard in 500 Parts, now well over 900 hours and eight and a half years.

@ 30:21 What flows off of that is the greatest discovery I’ve ever made. A discovery the church was in no position to ever see to discover it. They couldn’t. The church never saw the sheep as anything other than the saints. But, the saints are a different category…

@ 32:00 Let’s learn perhaps the greatest single mystery in the Bible besides the Kingdom of God itself.

@ 38:29 …you know, a hundred or hundreds of other things that we’ve been privileged to learn. I didn't discover these. They were shown to me so that I could show them to you.

Shown by what? Not the Spirit of Truth. Dave's god is a documented lying trickster.

@ 1:00:35 This is astonishing stuff. I mean, it’s just astonishing. I never understood this. Nobody ever did.Because, again, if you don’t have the comparison driving your analysis. Billions, one-third of all human beings on earth, are become gold and silver to God. And you don’t know that and don’t understand that that happens by the Day of the Lord because you didn’t even know all human beings rose before the Millennium and were in play, then you can never get to where we’re coming to today.

 


David C. Pack cannot resist preaching about himself.

@ 1:35:20 Some of you think you know (and it’s okay, I don’t) of what what what my life has been like. It’s been almost infinitely harder than my biography even begins to tell. But now I understand why.

The Authorized Biography of David C. Pack is a total of 1,225 pages split into two volumes.

Volume 1 is 617 pages. Volume 2 is 608 pages.

Imagine reading anything for 1,225 pages only to discover his life has been “almost infinitely harder.” Those must be some pretty intense notes for Volume 3.

A two-volume book about Dave's life is just as excruciating as the "The Greatest Unending Story!" As time goes on, so does the Series. The clock is ticking towards April 8, when nothing biblical will happen.

The Sixth King of Revelation 17:10 is inarguably the King of Babylon, Nabopolassar.

All anyone can do now is offer more apologies to Mr. Putin.

Restored Church of God: Excited Mooning In Wadsworth


 


New Moonish Excitement

Inept false teacher David C. Pack cannot get something as basic as when the New Moon occurs correctly, even when he tries. There is either staggering incompetence on the Third Floor at The Restored Church of God Headquarters, or this is another example of mind-control manipulation and intentional deception packaged as reality originating from a perverted sense of apostolic authori-tah.

Since The Restored Church of God began publicly privately observing New Moons, letting useful idiots like Edward Winkfield repeat it was a "wonderful, wonderful thing," the spiritually corrupt “non-profit” organization cannot seem to find its sea legs about when they should keep it.

As previously reported, Church Administration announced they were officially blowing off the February 2024 New Moon observance, punctuating the doubts of their resolve.

February 3, 2024 – Member Services and Announcement Bulletin
New Moon Update

Please note that with the new moon of Adar 1 falling on the Sabbath of February 10, there will not be a Friday evening Bible study from Headquarters on February 9.
The messages you will hear during Sabbath services will provide ample spiritual food, so there is no need for a separate new moon Bible study.

The Restored Church of God established that a New Moon occurring on a Friday could be skipped due to the ample spiritual food provided on the Sabbath. Sunday keepers will store that in their back pocket for the next time they are pressed about the Seventh-Day Sabbath.

So much for God’s gift of revealed end-time knowledge. If RCG can blow off a Friday New Moon, of course, they can blow off a Sunday New Moon. And despite the contradictory proclamations of David C. Pack, that is exactly what The Restored Church of God did.

New Moon-flavored “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 498)” was delivered on March 11, 2024. 

But that was not on the New Moon. The New Moon was on Sunday, March 10. Not on March 11. Only inquisitive brethren with internet access could know that for sure.

David C. Pack is playing a shell game with the moon phases, just as he does with the Scriptures.


David C. Pack creates his own version of reality. His words make something true even when it is not. He repeats falsehoods and counts on sleepy brethren to not fact-check him. The utterances of David C. Pack do not hold up to scrutiny or even remembrance.

Flashback Part 496 – March 2, 2024
@ 44:39 That’s why I’m telling you, [chuckles] you just do not wanna miss the next two messages Sabbath and then Monday evening at the New Moon.

Flashback Part 497 – March 9, 2024
@ 01:19 We will meet again on Monday at the New Moon, and I'll finish what I don’t cover tonight.

 

Making a judgment call pertaining to David C. Pack’s character is a binary decision.

A) Pastor General David C. Pack is incompetent.
B) Pastor General David C. Pack is a willful liar.

To be entirely fair, “C) Both” is a reasonable option, though it was not provided.

David C. Pack and the complacent enablers at Headquarters should leave the calculations for the moon cycles to the experts. Maybe they cannot bring themselves to rely on the moon nerds at NASA. After all, what could those math and science-minded heathens possibly know about the nature of the moon phases?

According to false apostle David C. Pack, the New Moon occurred on March 11. With some Photoshop chops, the Art/Graphics Department can alter this infographic to align with its fraudulent doctrinal narrative.

For those who prefer accurate information over the duplicitous propaganda of The Restored Church of God, mooninfo.orgis a worthy stop on your fact-finding journey.


 

 


With the available abundance of accurate technological information for calculating the exact moment of a New Moon, why would Pastor General David C. Pack repeat over and over that it was on Monday, March 11, instead of what everyone else in the world knew to be true: Sunday, March 10?

His arrogant, nefarious motivations were intentional.

He did not want to speak on Sunday because of the ample spiritual food provided on the Sabbath. Since he believes himself to be an apostle, whatever he says on earth is bound in heaven. Yes, David C. Pack thinks to change times and laws. In remarkable ways, David C. Pack makes the Bible come alive. It is as if he intentionally tries to make the Scripture’s warnings point to him.

Part 498 – March 11, 2024
@ 00:16 …so we can have the New Moon meal afterwards. I'm trying to remember if I've spoken on a New Moon, I was starting to say. Can't remember if I did.

He was not speaking on the New Moon. How many brethren knew that? How many hirelings at Headquarters knew that? The timid mollusks at Headquarters cannot be trusted, and they prove that by their commission and omission.

Yeah, I am looking right at you, Bradford G. Schleifer. You fancy yourself a technology and science enthusiast, which means you absolutely knew the New Moon was on Sunday. How thin is your moral resilience these days? You can keep slicing off more of your flexible sincerity for the sake of sucking up to Dave and his madness, but only for so long. Unless your conscience is already seared with a hot iron.

@ 32:08 Now, we’re keeping a New Moon.

The data-whore goofballs at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration say otherwise.

David C. Pack is a liar. It is not what he does but who he is.

That observation is a provable fact. Identifying a wolf as a wolf is not condemning him to the Lake of Fire. The warnings in the Bible are there for a reason. David C. Pack is his own worst enemy and we all know he can name some names.

I would relish the opportunity to prove David C. Pack is a liar to the State of Ohio. This is one of the many reasons why The Restored Church of God will not take legal action against exrcg.org. Being compelled to open their records, having a jury of our peers listen to hours of the Pastor General claiming to be sent by God, listing the failed dates for the return of Jesus Christ, and then getting David C. Pack on the stand to just let the guy talk… wow. That would be the trial of the century here in Medina County. My buddy Peter told me he would fly down from Canada to sit in the gallery. Stiff drinks and laughter would carry us through each night.

 


Despite not actually speaking on the New Moon, David C. Pack was super-excited to share his New Moon-themed material with the brethren. He discovered an annual three-day New Moon festival in the Bible, sprinkled "in code" in the Old and New Testaments.

Jonathan, David, and Saul kept this event. So did Daniel. Even Jesus Christ observed it between the lines of the New Testament verses. Like an elephant in the clouds, David C. Pack can see what others cannot.

@ 24:41 Nobody understands this. But it’s as plain as day when God opens it up. And remember, Daniel being unsealed is a sign that we’re near the end. I never understood this until recently. We couldn’t have been near the end. But I do now.

The unsealing of Daniel has been a laborious, fickle process.

Flashback Part 211 – October 24, 2019
@ 1:05:27 Now for a truly astounding discovery… And without understanding this verse, Daniel could never be considered unsealed. So… today and not before today, is Daniel fully unsealed.

Flashback Part 282 – January 22, 2021
@ 1:44:27 Daniel has been unsealed. We’re near the time of the end.

Dave was jazzed to teach about the New Moon observances he discovered. He was almost giddy.

Part 498 – March 11, 2024
@ 32:46 Jonathan, David, Saul kept a three-day New Moon. Yearly New Moon. It’s all through the Bible.

@ 32:59 I'm gonna show you in the New Testament. Christ kept it. Christ turned water into wine on the third day of the annual three-day yearly New Moon celebration.

@ 33:32 That's an important thing to know because, at the Millennium it opens with that three days of the Feast. And the Father's gonna have the world keep those three days several times before this monster rises. We're waiting for one in about 28 days. Little less now.

@ 34:50 Christ’s first miracle was on the third day of the yearly New Moon celebration. It just says “on the third day.” Not the third day of a wedding because the way [chuckles] you can't have a wedding go three days. On the third day of this three days, there was a wedding, and that's a nice thing.

@ 1:09:54 But I wanna plant a seed. We may get all the way to April 8th. I hope so. Because if anything happens before that, it will be very unpleasant based on the verses I think I understand. Very unpleasant [chuckles] and pray nothing happens. But I am not convinced it’s gonna be that way.

@ 1:12:12 I’m I I know a little more than I’m telling you, but I’m not gonna I’m not gonna assert it because I’m not sure. It’s but. Some of the most complicated thing I’ve ever read.

The illusion of unproven understanding at work.

@ 1:54:22 Had we learned all of this too soon, we would have ended the pursuit of knowledge and not learned so many other fascinating things. If we learned this too soon. And I wanted to say that. That’s a huge thing to consider. Think of all that we learned because it took eight-and-a-half years.

By that logic measurement, taking another twenty years would be even better from a knowledge-pursuit standpoint.

Flashback Part 10 – January 9, 2016
@ 1:50:24 Try to imagine. We could not be told or shown too early about the First Dominion or we would have read Revelation 22 before it was true! Do you understand?

 


Despite the repeated claims of David C. Pack, Part 498 was not delivered on the New Moon. They had a New Moonish service and meal because The Restored Church of God refused to observe it correctly.

They skipped it in February. They missed it in March. They just do not take it seriously.

Understanding the motivations behind obvious error points to willful lying or spectacular incompetence on the behalf of all the “leaders” at Headquarters. If any hireling knew it was wrong and failed to bring it forward, they are a coward. If the information was ignored, then the Campus in Wadsworth exposed itself again as a nest of dark trickery. Yeah, the True Church indeed.

Which is it, Brad? Are you guys knowingly wicked or are you guys ignorantly stupid?

David C. Pack perverts the Bible to make it say what he wants. He adds to and takes away from the words of the prophecy of the book. The New Moon doctrines are a new game he plays with the brethren. Using sleight of hand magic, he keeps the members guessing what is real when the answer is right in front of them.

The Kingdom of God will not arrive on April 8, 2024. World Hell will not “break out” before April 8.

The darkness that settles over the Headquarters Campus on April 8 will not just be the total solar eclipse but a perfect illustration of the lack of light, love, and truth emanating from David C. Pack and The Restored Church of God.
