Restored Church of God Members Are Already Godlike

Imagine belonging to a church that proudly proclaims its members possess godlike qualities—that they actually resemble God Himself—yet the very God they claim to follow apparently isn't sharp enough to clue their infallible leader, Dave Pack, in on the correct date for Christ's return to Wadsworth. Seriously, how divine must that deity be if He keeps fumbling the biggest announcement in cosmic history, week after week, year after year?

Is that really the kind of God you aspire to emulate? The one whose "image" includes getting the return date wrong so many times it's practically a hobby? I'd take a stadium packed with ordinary Christians—hands raised, hearts humbly aware they've never quite measured up, yet utterly confident in the grace and mercy that's been lavished on them anyway—over a smug little enclave of self-righteous, pompous pseudo-saints in Wadsworth any day. The ones who keep spinning fresh lies to their followers, sermon after sermon, failure after failure, all while preening about how superior and godlike they are.

Now, be honest: which group actually looks more like the real God— the humble, grace-dependent crowd, or the perpetually wrong, endlessly self-congratulating one?

We Are God-like - Carl Houk (The Restored Church of God) Carl Houk is a minister under David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God. This was a sermon titled "Becoming "Profit-able" Servants" given on September 27, 2025. He claims the world is full of ungodly people following a false Jesus while they (members of The Restored Church of God) are God-like and resemble God and have the qualities of God. David C. Pack and his enablers teach firmly that they are God's chosen ones. Anyone outside of this church, therefore, is following Satan and is ungodly.

Dave Pack Changes His Mind again - New Date Kingdom Arrives Is February 1, 2026

 

RCG/Dave Pack Newsflash:
The Kingdom Comes on February 1, 2026.
But Don't Fall In Love With That Idea.

David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God is the consummate fool, inventing his own folly. Desperately clinging to the notion that he is being led by God to teach the ever-changing nonsense falling from his lips, he reimagines his own discoveries for the sake of maintaining the illusion of prophetic relevance.

During “The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 617)” on January 17, 2026, the Pastor General shifted the arrival of the Kingdom to February 1 instead of February 2. Shevat 15 just fits better, don’tcha know?

The Kingdom Will Come on February 1, 2026!

The revised Kingdom sequence and clarified arrival date left the Pastor General intoxicated by his own supreme, apostolic confidence, even though he had to burn much of last week’s material.

In one of THE BEST David C. Pack meme-worthy moments, the faux Elijah grimaces and fist pumps his certainty of the revised Kingdom structure and that it will all begin on Shevat 15, February 1. This will undoubtedly become the most regrettable performance of his spiritually fraudulent career.

Part 617 – January 17, 2026
@ 01:32:00 We got it. We got it!

For those who would like the raw, isolated video clip for your own creative purposes, please write exrcgwebsite@gmail.com.

There were quite a few gems sprinkled throughout Part 617.

@ 01:23 It's critical we stay with proof of mid-Shevat. …you're gonna learn that February 1st replaces February 2nd. So, we're not waiting for Monday morning, February 2. We're waiting for Sunday morning, February 1. There's huge, massive proof of that. For now, until I can get to it, for now, just rejoice we’re a day closer.

@ 1:09:03 So, now comes the very greatest proof the 1335 comes in mid-Shevat and on the 15th, not the 16th. On, therefore, February 1st, what would be a Sunday morning here, not February 2nd, a Monday morning.

@ 22:06 Sort of like getting the 1335 out of the Kingdom and in front of it. You hafta to make sure that when you did that, you didn't build the 45-day kingdom in front of it. And the fact is, we did not, but I need to dissolve some of the things I thought were proofs.

“The Greatest Untold Story!” Series is wall-to-wall with what David C. Pack thought were proofs.

@ 40:30 I may not get everything right, but I come back around, and eventually, it's right, and it's clear.

@ 45:07 Now I can understand, and this is big that we're all fulfilling prophecy. It's one of the great proofs that we can't have very long.

Dave spent the majority of Part 616 reestablishing the three-kingdom structure by introducing a new 45-day First Kingdom, which he coined as the "Sour Grapes Kingdom." It was based on so much overwhelming biblical truth, inarguable proofs, and a correct understanding of the Bible that Dave recanted it seven days later.

@ 1:05:24 So there's no kingdom. You can just—I'm sorry you had to think for a for a whole week about a 45-day kingdom. I was tryin’ to figure this out. If you're trying to pin down what there has to be a year involved. Are we still waiting to March 18th somehow?

For a man who claims to fear God, he shows no fear of God as he continually credits the Almighty as the inspiration for RCG’s temporary doctrines. The most uncomfortable thing I experienced in The Restored Church of God was watching David C. Pack lie to the brethren during Sabbath Services, taking the Lord’s name in vain, bearing false witness, and blaspheming without hesitation.

During Part 617, Dave abandoned what he preached under God’s authority the week before. I wonder if he ever ponders the implications of publicly making his god a liar and a cruel trickster.

@ 03:25 God shocked me with sudden, massive evidence hidden in His word regarding the 1290 protection point in the Kingdom, not the 1335 days that would be to the Day of the Lord.

@ 1:26:39 It's incredible. It's incredible. It leaves me stunned. This brilliant Being. We serve the right God. This absolutely brilliant Being laid all of this out.

@ 1:30:44 It was a high hill to climb. But God just eventually said it was time to end the Mystery, because we're coming up on February 1st.

@ 1:47:02 So much was at stake in getting this right to the God who talks about trees all the time. You had to get it right, or you'd have chaos. You'd have confusion. God would have to establish it.

God is not motivating these doctrines. The Holy Spirit is not revealing any of these teachings. David C. Pack is a false teacher, a false apostle, and a false prophet inspired by his own thirst for legitimacy. The fruit of his works reveals the truth of this matter.

@ 1:56:09 More proofs of February 1 and and a few miscellaneous things will come next week. …Because the Kingdom begins Sunday morning. At least, Sunday morning our time.

The Pastor General cannot even be trusted with what he will do next week. The willfully blind joy and undeserved adulation from the All-Believing Zealots in The Restored Church of God were short-lived. One week later, the February 1 Kingdom bubble popped and vanished as quickly as Dave's credibility.

Part 618 – January 24, 2026
@ 1:00:31 We cannot be waiting for the middle of Shevat. It’s impossible.

Insert your favorite The Price is Right failure music here. And keep it on loop.

The brethren awaiting the kingdom their human idol preaches will not see it in Shevat or Abib or at any time henceforth. Holding on until the “next time” is how RCG brethren cope, and fewer are willing to do so. Four people left RCG this week, with more on the way. The trickle, trickle of tithe-payers out the door is a troublesome reality that even Dave cannot deny. More on that later.

I will Send Dave Pack To Restore All Things

 God promised he would send an end-time messenger, who is named David, to the world, and here he is! Woo Hoo!

Poor Bwana Bob. Here, he thought he was God's gift to humanity, and he has been usurped by Dave, of all people. Always the bridesmaid and never the bride.

Dave has restored the whole plan of prophecy and everything that had been lost since the Apostles.

He has restored ALL things.

During “The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 617)” on January 17, 2026, David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God explained how he fulfills the role of Elijah the Prophet mentioned in the Book of Malachi, who is sent by God to “restore all things.” 

When the Pastor General mentions Elijah or speaks of a biblical figure from the third-person perspective, he is referring to himself. RCG members are well aware of this. The green arrows assist when he appears to be speaking about someone else, but is in actuality, preaching about himself. 

This 13-minute video illustrates what The Restored Church of God teaches behind closed doors and does not want non-members to know. Despite the numerous videos and literature offered on the RCG website, none of the information taught on January 17, 2026, is available for public review. 

David C. Pack and the ministers at The Restored Church of God teach that these verses are about David C. Pack: 

Malachi 4:5—Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD 

Matthew 17:11—And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

UCG, COGWA, LCG Leaders Meet For An Agape Love Fest

We sure do love to wax poetic on here about how tragically broken the various Churches of God have become, especially their spectacular inability to actually meet together and fellowship like—oh, I don't know—actual brethren in Christ. Recently, UCG (United Church of God) extended a gracious olive branch to COGWA (Church of God, a Worldwide Association) and LCG (Living Church of God). And lo and behold, they all solemnly nodded in agreement: yes, their members really do wish everyone could just be together again; yes, the endless splits have been painful, messy, and frankly exhausting.

They even managed to utter the magic words—we need to have agape love for one another. Touching, isn't it? Heartwarming, even. Yet somehow, despite all this profound recognition and these noble admissions, they willfully persist in keeping themselves neatly separated, each in their own little organizational fortress. Because nothing says "agape love" quite like maintaining doctrinal turf wars and separate Feast sites.

UCG has been kind enough to clarify that these high-level kumbaya sessions are strictly private affairs—leadership chatting behind closed doors, while the poor members (the ones who actually long to reunite) are left on the outside looking in, wondering why their heartfelt desires don't merit an invitation to the grown-ups' table. The pride and arrogance of the leaders continue to act as the world's most effective superglue, holding the divisions firmly in place. Meanwhile, they earnestly preach that everyone else should be filled to overflowing with agape love, mutual respect, and brotherly unity... as they all supposedly labor together for Jesus Christ.

Which brings us to the uncomfortable little question that really ought to be asked: Do they actually all work for Jesus Christ? The last forty years of schisms, power struggles, name changes, lawsuits, and fresh acronyms sprouting like weeds have a way of whispering a very different story—one that's far less flattering and a great deal more... human. But hey, at least the sermons still sound spiritual.

Mr. Elliott said he recently visited Mr. Gerald Weston and his staff at the Living Church of God offices in North Carolina. He has also recently spoken with Mr. Jim Franks at the COGWA offices. He mentioned that most of what we all do is done in triplicate, such as with offices, hall rentals, travel, and Feast sites, etc. Mr. Elliott assured everyone that while there is no desire to combine, it seems most members wish we were together. He then compared what has happened in some cases to a divorce in a family. He said such splits are painful, messy and are typically private interactions among a few leaders without members being fully aware or participating. He also mentioned that currently, the “children” of God wish for the “parents” to get back together. He said that, “it does not seem realistic at this point, so we all need to move forward, repenting and striving with agape love and respect for one another and the work we are performing for Jesus Christ.” 

 

He explained that Jesus desires that God’s children all be one (John 17:20-21), and he explained that while we are not all in a single corporation, at least we all need to be one in God and Jesus Christ by having an agape mindset. Let’s all help each other in striving to do just that, please.

Dave Pack: Its Now February 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Societies are breaking down in Cuba, Iran, Venezuela, and it all comes to an end on February 2nd!

Oh noes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Satan Has Unleashed His Minions On The Greatest Church of God Websites Ever Created!

Poor, persecuted Great Bwana Bob Thiel, shepherd of the single greatest, most dazzling Church of God ever to grace this fallen planet in the entire sweep of human history. Yes, folks, move over, original apostles—step aside, first-century Philadelphia era—there's a new sheriff in town, and his name is Bwana Bob, the one true beacon of mind-boggling "truth" destined to enlighten the masses (mostly in Africa, apparently, where the devil seems to have a particular vendetta).

You see, Crafty ol' Satan—ever the sore loser—has clearly dialed his minions up to overtime plus hazard pay, all because he just can't handle the radiant glory emanating from the improperly spelled-but-definitely-legitimate "Continuing" Church of God. No other splinter group in this dispensation dares to suffer like this! While lesser Church of God outfits potter along in boring obscurity, our hero faces relentless cosmic warfare. Why? Because the moment Bwana Bob drops one of his earth-shattering articles exposing the deep truths the rest of us are too cowardly (or deceived) to see, Satan throws a tantrum and hits delete.

It's exhausting, really. No sooner does the Great Bwana painstakingly recreate his vital writings—carefully re-typing every divinely inspired word—than those pesky demonic minions swoop in again like digital vultures, wiping the slate clean. Entire treatises on prophecy, nutrition, and why everyone else is wrong vanish into the ether faster than you can say "shadow-banning." One battle after another! The man can't even enjoy a quiet moment of self-publishing without the Prince of Darkness throwing another hissy fit.

When will that stubborn adversary ever learn? Just leave the Great Bwana alone already! Clearly, the devil is really, really, really rattled by all this explosive truth being unleashed upon an unsuspecting continent. 

If only Satan would take a long weekend or something. But no—onward the minions march, tirelessly thwarting the most important work since, well, ever.

Hang in there, Great Bwana. Your legion of repeatedly-deleted PDFs and your ironclad victim-savant status will surely triumph... right after the next inevitable takedown. The forces of darkness tremble before your unyielding refresh button. Or at least they would, if they weren't busy hitting delete again. 

Stay vigilant. The end is near... probably right after you hit "publish" one more time.

Dear Brethren and Co-Workers in Christ:

Greetings. 

 

We have continued to have massive issues affecting our ccog.org and other sites. Basically, we have been hit with malware as well as the fact that transferring server locations has affected posts. In addition, the transfer, which we were forced to do, messed up posts and other things at the cogwriter.com website. 

 

One of the many frustrations is that even when we have recreated/replicated lost content, it has gone missing again. 

 

We had to hire another firm to assist with some of this, which is an expense we did not want, but hope will help end some of this. 

 

Satan does not want us to proclaim all the truths that we do and has his minions affect us in many negative ways (Ephesians 6:12).

Aaron Dean: Most Of You Failed The Test When HWA Died

 

Screenshot credit from a retired highly placed NASA employee

Oh, pray tell, how is it possible that all you miserable, Laodicean-leaning reprobates—you who have so callously and wickedly spurned the sacred truths of Armstrongism—still can't wrap your spiritually-blinded little heads around the obvious fact that you were supposed to cling desperately to the ONE TRUE FAITH, exactly as the saintly, unflinching Aaron Dean has done with such superhuman loyalty all these decades?

I mean, really? You failed the test. Spectacularly. Catastrophically. Woe unto you, you wretched, backsliding, lukewarm Laodiceans! The clock is ticking, judgment is at the door, and you have but a pitifully short sliver of time left to fall on your faces in tearful, gut-wrenching repentance and crawl back to the one true faith before the Great Tribulation turns you all into crispy spiritual toast.

But—hold everything—which glorious "one true faith" would that even be, exactly? Enlighten us, O wise ones! Is it the dusty remnants of the original Worldwide Church of God (you know, the one that politely imploded and became Grace Communion International overnight)? Or perhaps the United Church of God (where Aaron Dean himself actually serves, because apparently that's where the purest remnant landed... or did it?)? No, wait—surely it's the Living Church of God, with its endless video sermons and dramatic warnings? Or the Philadelphia Church of God, guardians of the sacred copyrights and Malachi's Message? Maybe the Restored Church of God, where Dave Pack is still busy "restoring" everything by demanding your house, your savings, and your firstborn? Or how about the Continuing Church of God, Bob Thiel's ever-growing YouTube empire of "continuing" what everyone else supposedly lost? Don't forget the Church of God International, or any of the dozen other microscopic splinters claiming exclusive divine appointment.

Go ahead—pick one. Any one. Because surely one of these glorious outfits has managed to set a shining, consistent Christian example of grace, love, humility, forgiveness, and actual brotherly kindness without descending into yet another round of lawsuits, character assassinations, power grabs, doomsday date-setting, or thinly veiled demands for your tithes so the "work" can continue (mostly by buying more TV time to scream about the same work).

The sheer irony is almost too delicious: Here are all these groups proudly proclaiming they've preserved "the truth once delivered," the very doctrines Mr. Armstrong restored through divine revelation... yet somehow they've misplaced the minor details like "love your neighbor," "bear one another's burdens," "by this shall all men know that you are My disciples—if you have love for one another," and—oh yes—that pesky "fruit of the Spirit" thing that doesn't include constant division, finger-pointing, and declaring everyone else a tool of Satan.

If Aaron Dean—or anyone else—has managed to stay loyal to the original vision without descending into the same patterns of strife that plague so many of these groups, perhaps the real question isn't "Who has the purest doctrine?" but rather "Who is actually bearing the fruits that prove they are Christ's disciples?"

So, to all you who walked away in disgust: Examine your treacherous hearts and REPENT! UCG is ready to welcome you with an open arm, while the other is tugging at your wallet.

And to all you who remain loyally clustered in your chosen splinter: Do the same—quickly—before another "new revelation" or leadership purge hits.

Time really is short. Repentance is still on the table. Genuine love might even break out one day.

But only if everyone stops pretending their little group alone has cornered the market on God's favor while treating everyone else like spiritual lepers.

Tick-tock, brethren. Tick-tock.
