EXCLUSIVE: The Shocking Exodus of Restored Church of God Leadership and Ministry

This is an exclusive photo of the leadership and ministry of the Restored Church of God.  

This photo was taken in 2010.  

The very front row contains the top leadership of the RCG at that time.

Eight years later you can see all of the top leaders have departed 

as well as a large number of ministers.

This is pretty shocking to see considering David C Pack considers his group to the most spectacular Church of God to ever exist in church history.  There has never been a great COG on the face of the earth, doing more to preach the gospel and being so superfantabulous as the RCG.

Over the last several years Dave has suffered one public humiliation after another.  His 130+ sermon series was a humiliating bust after the four largest Church of God splinter groups refused to shut down and join Dave in his superfantabulousness.

Tens of thousands of present and former Church of God member never joined up with him.  Their tithe money, which he claims belongs to him, has remained in their present COG's or is used to take care of their families.

Never has there been a Church of God which has suffered such self-imposed embarrassment as has the Restored Church of God, though Bob Thiel comes in at a close second.

Dave Pack is suffering from such an inflated massive ego, narcissism and psychosis that he cannot see what he is doing to peoples lives.  He even admits that he has become more reclusive and that he rarely ever leaves the RCG compound in Wadsworth.  He has even "gated" his compound to keep out the dirty public from wandering over from the Giant Eagle to see the most superfantabulous campus ever constructed in human history. No dirty unclean gentile feet should contaminate the place, after all, this will soon be the grounds that Jesus will walk upon as He communes with Dave.

EXCLUSIVE: Restored Church of God Letter to Membership Over Recent Resignation of Jeff Ambrose

Jeff Ambrose, David C Pack's right-hand man and 2nd in charge of the Restored Church of God resigned recently. As usual, Satan is trotted out as attempting to destroy the church instead of allowing the man to finally walk with his conscience and do what was right for him and his family.

Here is the letter that the Restored Church of God sent out to its members.

Dear brethren,

Greetings from a cool and breezy Headquarters. We hope this finds all of you doing well and enjoying a profitable week.

As would be expected, trials continue to come upon God’s people to build up their faith and patience so characterized by the “poor of the flock” (Jam. 1:3; Zech. 11:11). Coming off of a most joyous and uplifting Feast, it should be no surprise that Satan would try to rob us of “our days of prosperity” (see Ecc. 7:14). In the remaining time we have until Christ returns to Earth, it is not strange that God would allow these final tests to prepare His people. Sometimes this comes upon the whole Church when a senior leader departs.

We regret to inform you that Mr. Jeff Ambrose and his family have decided to leave the Church. They bear no ill will and expressed their personal gratitude to Mr. Pack for having lived in such a beautiful place for the last couple of years.

He offered an open explanation as to why they felt they could no longer continue. In his resignation letter, Mr. Ambrose expressed that they had “a fundamental difference in belief.” He has very carefully assured us that he has no plans to attack anyone but rather desires to leave quietly and in peace. He also clearly stated that he has no intentions of starting his own group or joining any other religious organization. It appears that after a lifetime in God’s Church, he wants to leave the ministry and organized religion altogether! (Keep this in mind when you listen to Part 145 this Sabbath.)

Additionally, Mr. Ambrose stated that “fairly serious, and permanent, health problems” caused by stress as the other driver compelling him to take action. This is never a reason to leave God’s Church! No one knew the full extent of his difficulties and he never sought advice from any us—even the medical doctor who was in the office next to him.

Obviously, this is not easy news for any of us to receive. The Ambroses have been in the Church for many years and served in various facets of the Work. As we did here, we are sure you are battling the same shock of this announcement. Rest assured that everyone on our Headquarters staff, Mr. Pack and all the ministry, including all our field ministers, are doing well. Everyone understands that this has happened before and is the pattern of centuries in God’s Church. No one is shaken.

The apostle Paul—whom God used to record the identity of the Man of Sin and warn the Church for three years during his time—knew himself that we only understand prophetic events “darkly,” meaning obscure or enigma (I Cor. 13:12). In the context of this is where God explains the most important thing for all of us to build is godly love, that is keeping His commandments in order to build His character and qualify to become part of His Family (I John 5:3; Ecc. 12:13; Eph. 3:15-20). It is vital that we do not lose sight of this—the Big Picture and ultimately the end goal. Time is short and this age is growing very thin!

Remember, our “adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour” (I Pet. 5:8). Do not give him an opportunity. We should all take this announcement as an admonition to pray for one another, fellow brethren in Christ, as we near the end. We hope that we will one day see the Ambroses again in God’s Church and pray that it will be much sooner than later.

Your steadfastness and faithful service are greatly appreciated, and we are praying for you daily. Stay fervent, stand firm, be sober and watch unto prayer—our salvation is sooner than we thought.

Mr. Pack will add additional comments and context throughout the sermon given at Headquarters this Sabbath (heard on November 3). In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your local minister.

In Christ’s service,

Brad Schleifer and Greg Kaidannek

"No Man Can Shut the Door", Armstrong said about WCG.

This Guy Didn't Just Shut the Door. He SLAMMED it. 

All Kinds of Men Try So Hard To Reopen The Door. 

It's Still Locked. 

And all the gesturing, the YouTube videos, the books, the arguments, the attempts to grow have not and will not succeed.

Why?

Because what they preach is not this. 

It is this. 

 And because of this.

People won't be living like this.

I will be initiating a great revival in the church prior to the start of the end times in 2019 or 2020

Are you ready to be revived so you can be the bride of Christ?  Are you ready to have the law heaped upon you till you can no longer carry its burden?  Are you ready to be treated like a worthless worm in order to prepare you for the emergence of the two witless (COG) witnesses? Are you ready for a worldwide revival in the Church of God, led by our very own Chief Pharisee?

Rod Meredith, Dave Pack, Ron Weinland, Gerald Flurry and Bob Thiel have all failed to spark any revival in the church, so what makes our law enforcer, James Malm, think he is going to spark some mind-shattering revival in the church?

The US midterms come in a week now and December has xmas the biggest tourist season for Israel.  President Trump has said that he will table his peace plan by the end of Feb and I am keeping a close watch on the progress of events.  

Israeli President Rivlin is to meet the Roman pontiff in the Vatican on 15 November to discuss the peace plan.  The plan is to be an actual peace plan already agreed by the Arabs and certain others which will be presented and then both Palestinians and Jews will be pressured to sign on.  

It is understood that Netanyahu cannot get the plan through his extreme coalition and reports of an election call in Israel to garner a stronger mandate abound.  It remains to be seen if Bibi will preempt the plan by calling an election before the plan is tabled or whether he will call an election after the plan is presented.  

It is also understood that the Gaza situation and Syria/Iran will have to be dealt with before the peace plan can be agreed; which means a regional war most likely in spring followed by a peace conference to force an agreement on the Palestinians and Israelis.  

The probability of the great tribulation beginning at the end of 2019 or 2020 is now extremely high and will increase as these matters progress.

I am continuing to concentrate on updating the Bible Studies for now, while preparing to begin making talks when events progress and begin to excite serious interest.  That means that as planned the Bible Studies should be completely updated by Pentecost.  

Once the Bible Studies are updated programs will be presented with a heavy emphasis on exciting a revival in the Ekklesia and encouraging the brethren to godliness. 

Never has the Church of God had a man in its midst who can bastardize the law as much as James Malm has.  He tries to appear as an agent of light, but he is not.  All he brings is darkness to the human soul.

2 Corinthians 11:14 ESV / 

And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

Is there "Hope" in Living Church of God?

Doug Winnail writes:

The Value of Hope: Having a powerful hope for the future—something positive and inspiring to look forward to—is a vital aspect of life. Many have long understood that life without hope is empty. The Bible also states, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick” (Proverbs 13:12). But what is the real hope in life for a Christian? King David wrote, “You are my hope, O Lord GOD” and “I hope in Your word” (Psalm 71:5; 119:147). David was referring to the promises that God makes in the Bible. The Apostle Paul said under cross-examination before a Roman governor, “I have hope in God… believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets… that there will be a resurrection of the dead” and “hope of eternal life… looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” (Acts 24:14–15; Titus 1:2; 2:13). We are urged as Christians “to lay hold of the hope set before us” (Hebrews 6:18) and to purify ourselves so we can become “children of God” (1 John 3:1–3). With this hope in mind, we need to “be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15). We need to be motivated by this same hope today!

Have a profitable Sabbath,

Douglas S. Winnail

Can "hope" really be found in LCG when they place the law above Jesus?  That inconvenient dude still pushes their buttons.
