The WORST Opening Night Feast Sermon Ever Recorded!

Since the implosion of the church in the late 1990's and the rapidly shrinking Feast sites with more and more members not attending, many COG's have resorted to opening night videos to encourage the brethren. Most opening night services have historically tended to be a waste of time as members were tired from driving long distances and just wanted to relax. Instead, they were conned into coming to the opening night service where Feastival coordinators or someone further down the ministerial food chain spoke because only the most really IMPORTANT ministers spoke on the first and last days.

Imagine driving a long distance and finding out there may only be 25 -50 people in attendance and you have to listen to the Great Bwana with hands flailing about as he bounces and flounces in his chair for 35 minutes! Ghastly days, Loma! What a nightmare! In the end, you will wonder why you wasted 35 minutes of your life listening to such a pile of useless information.

The Great Bwana, the Beto of Africa, the most important minister in the Church of God since Jesus himself walked the green hills of this earth believes that you need to hear his admonitions. Never have we been blessed to have a such spiritually grounded man in our midst as we do in Beto Bob! Gerald Flurry and Dave Pack tremble at his feet in rank embarrassment.

Ever since he was almost arrested and then publicly humiliated by Rod Meredith before getting kicked out of the church, the Great Beto has been on a quest to prove the legitimacy and authority he assumes to weld as the end-time man of God. Beto uses that authority to stick his nose into the lives of his few followers by telling them how they should act at the Feast. Beto makes sure to get in as one of his first points that people give him their tithe of the tithe (a made-up command by the mother church).

Some of his very important topics for his few members are:

• scriptural commands (of which there are none for New Covenant Christians)
• how JC kept the feast (he did since he was a Jew)
• festival tithe
• daily attendance requirements
• how they should eat
• how they should drink
• how they should rejoice
• how they should exhort others
• the jobs of members and resurrected COG members as teachers in the millennium
• Most of all, you are to build character at the Feast by forcing yourself to sit there and listen to his mind-numbing sermons.

Almost arrested Beto writes:

This message is for the opening night of the Feast of Tabernacles for 2022 by the Continuing Church of God (CCOG). It discusses aspects of God’s plan, including peace that will ensue after Satan is bound. Dr. Thiel discusses scriptural command’s, Jesus’ observance, festival tithe, daily attendance, eating, alcohol, rejoicing, exhorting others, the role of resurrected Christians teaching others in the millennium, historic Christian understanding of the Feast of Tabernacles, enduring to the end, and the abundance in the coming Kingdom of God. Dr. Thiel mentions that the CCOG has festival sites in North America, Latin America, Africa, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean, and the Philippines. He also mentions that the CCOG has literature in 160 languages to reach Gentiles as well as those of Israelite heritage. Dr. Thiel encourages people to have a peaceful festival where they rejoice, gain knowledge, and help build character.

All of this drivel means absolutely NOTHING to his members in Africa. Unable to relate to his African followers he has to pass on first-world issues the church has preached on for decades, believing members were too stupid to know how to act.

The Rotting Fruit of the Restored Church of God

 

Five Lies—The Rotting Fruit of RCG

 

An alternate title for this article could have been "Meat Shield 3.0.” Andrew J. Holcombe gave Not-At-All “Special Comments” yesterday before his sermon proving to the entire church he has no dignity. I have now lost all respect for him.

 

The decline of The Restored Church of God is accelerating. Andy’s shameful remarks served no purpose but to prop up the golden calf, David C. Pack, and trumpet his specialness to the doubters still attending. And doubters there should be.

 

Those who want to watch a smiling man willingly compromise and provide zero value need to watch this video. It is devoid of substance. It is vile. And I counted five lies.

Weak. Ineffective. Pointless.

 

This 93-second video exemplifies all that is wrong with the "ministers," especially those on the Third Floor of Headquarters. The Enabler Syndrome is spreading like cancer in Wadsworth. A parasitic leech nests at the Hall of Administration, draining all critical thinking from those working there, leaving empty husks bereft of conscience and love for the truth.

 

(Raymond, get out while you still can.)

 

My sympathy for Andy has evaporated. For a “minister” of Jesus Christ to knowingly lie exposes the depths of the depravity that David C. Pack orchestrates among his acolytes.

 

 

Lie #1:

“Brethren, we are truly in an exciting place and time in prophecy.”

 

More exciting than in Sivan? Or Tammuz? Or Av? Or Elul? Or on Trumpets? Or this past Thursday? Or Friday, the day before? More exciting than every other presumption passed along as biblical fact since 2013? Why is NOW the time to be excited rather than all those other times? What do you say to the people that DO ride the rollercoaster of excitement each time a date is set, only to fall when it fails?

 

These are no words of comfort for those disappointed each time you, Jim, and Dave fail. You continually fail the people in RCG. You fail them, Andy. Your support for the false apostle you work for fails them. You are failing them as a "minister," and you are failing them as a man.

 

I hope someone cornered you at the coffee after Services to explain that statement. Certainly, nobody did. Those at Headquarters for the Feast have learned to keep their mouths shut, or they will be cast outside the camp. All speaking the same thing now includes all having your heads in the ground.

 

Andy, your words insult those still clinging on by their fingertips in RCG. A slap in the face of everyone who holds out on the hope that "Maybe Mr. Pack will be right this time." Nine years running.

 

Shame on you, Andy. Shame on you. Your boss fell flat on his face twice just this week, and you have the gall to tell people about "an exciting place and time in prophecy?" Are you trying to fool the audience, or are you trying to fool yourself?

 

Your words are empty. There is no “truly” in them. That statement is a bald-faced lie.

 

Lie #2

“Much has been learned.”

 

Nothing has been learned since 2013. Your boss admitted he has spoken presumptuously. Your boss admitted he has taught what God never intended. One week ago, he drove the point about God blinding him from prophetic understanding.

 

There is no learning going on with you guys. It is imaginings. It is conjuring ideas. It is manifesting theories using the Bible as an excuse to prolong the agony. When something is proven by physical reality to be false, knowledge is not "learned" because it was not knowledge to begin with. Until the passing of time proves any of your "facts," it is not a fact but a guess.

 

Guessing is not learning, Andy. If you wanted to be truthful, you should have said, "Much has been guessed."

 

On Thursday night, Dave stated, “This was extremely hard to discern until God dropped a load of proof on us.” Within 24 hours, that statement was also proven to be false. God did not provide anything. Friday came and went. Do you still hold to the idea that God provided those thoughts? Wake up, man!

 

Lie #3

“That letter that Mr. Pack wrote is correct.”

 

You cannot know that until time proves it to be the case. Do you mean NOW he is correct even though he has not been twice this week?

 

David C. Pack has never been correct with any of his prophetic theories. Every date the man has declared has come and gone with nothing occurring. And you know that.

 

You state that it is correct, but only using hope as a measurement. Your hope means squat. Time will be the real judge in all of these matters. And time has judged already. David C. Pack is a biblical fraud. Andy, you are also a biblical fraud, and blood is also on your hands.

 

I wonder how many of your notes you recycled from when you spoke on September 17.

 

Part 393

@ 01:15 A lot has been cemented and is…correct that we have proven over the course of these …almost seven years of the series in prophecy.

 

@ 02:39 …what Mr. Pack is going to explain has been hidden and is finally coming clear.

 

@ 02:44 So, brethren, we just wanted to say, don't give up. A lot has been resolved, and there is no reason to believe we're going another year.

 

Remember, when you said this, you and Jim and Dave were all about Trumpets. How did that work out?

 

For those just joining us, the Meat Shield article provides greater insight.

 

Lie #4

“It’s it’s we’re all we’re just right on track as he mentioned in there.”

 

“David C. Pack: Failing Since 2013.” That is not a track record backed by confidence-building data.

 

How do you back up your claim? What is different on Saturday than it was a week before? Or on Thursday? Or on Friday? Have you considered that you and Jim and Dave are maybe not the best judges of such things?

 

Maybe the math is correct. This time. Maybe the proofs are inarguable. This time. Maybe God whatever. This time. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. And yet, never.

 

While inside RCG, when I heard, “We’re right on track,” it was nails on a chalkboard. It still is. All former members remember that gaslighting insult. An empty platitude without merit and quickly proven false.

 

RCG is not right on track. You are not right on track, Andy. Dave will never be right on track. Take your wonderful wife and get out.

 

Lie #5

“Brethren, we can all just be looking forward to

what’s going to happen during the Feast.”

 

Nothing prophetic is going to happen during the Feast of Tabernacles this year.

 

Nobody in RCG is looking forward to having another eight days of The Dave Pack Show. Talk about loving the preeminence. Having a captive audience of “a good thousand people” keeps the speculation machine running on all cylinders, as is the RCG autumn tradition four years running.

 

David C. Pack loves to hijack the Feast of Tabernacles to make it all about him. The man who has it all figured out. Come adore me, folks. Line up to sing my praises. Just do not mention Sivan, Tammuz, Av, Elul, or Trumpets. Better yet, do not say anything that does not begin with, “Mr. Pack, you are so amazing…”

 

Andy, when you are stuck on that private jet with Dave and have a moment of peace to stare out the window, plot your escape. You can do it, man. Get out. (Of RCG, not the jet.)

 

 

This is another sad example of the state of mind inside The Restored Church of Another god.

 

“And the Feast is just about to start,

so I know that we’re all looking forward to that. I know I am.

My wife will be here at Headquarters, and I'll be traveling around."

 

You are looking forward to spending the Feast of Tabernacles without your very-pregnant wife! What is wrong with you? That sounds awful. That poor woman. Why would you do that?

 

Never mind, I get it.

 

God's Apostle needs you to be at his side. He is more important to you than your pregnant wife. After all, he cannot pull off the latest con with just Jim and Brad as accomplices. You have a vital position as a chief fraud architect helping to usher the demise of The Restored Church of Another god, which requires sacrifice.

 

When Dave suckles your teat, is it for comfort or nourishment?

 

Andy, someday you will have to look your child in the eyes and say, "This is what your daddy has done."

 

How are you going to live with that?

 

“By their fruits, you shall know them.”

 

The fruits inside The Restored Church of Another god are rotten. The fruits of David C. Pack are rotten. The fruits of Meat Shield are rotten.

 

But it does not have to stay that way.

Alton Billingsley: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

 

Alton Billingsley has only two claims to fame that he is noteworthy of. The first is that he was the driver of the car that Richard Armstrong was riding in that was involved in the accident that killed Richard. Second, his documented off-the-wall prophetic failures are as astoundingly wrong as Dave Pack’s and Bwana Beto Bob's false prophecies.

After hyperventilating over inflation, drought, Putin, and other things in the news, he says this:

And now, finally, a last word to you who read this warning message—this summary of the prophecies: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Your immediate future is of your own choosing. You can take this lightly, let it slip from mind, allow yourself once again to be absorbed in the mechanics of today's complex society that you put this out of mind.

If you do, you have now read YOUR FATE—and I say to you on authority of God Almighty that it is absolutely SURE! Or, you may heed the warning, realize the truth—that there already have occurred in the world sufficient happenings to verify the REALITY of God's prophecies-and REPENT NOW before it is too late.

If you DO turn to God by forsaking your way and this world's ways through Jesus Christ as personal Saviour—if you DO then overcome, study the Bible continually to let it correct and reprove and instruct YOU—living by EVERY WORD OF GOD, rather than by the ways and customs of society—if you pray earnestly and continually, drawing closer and closer to GOD, and endure in this wonderful new life, you shall be accounted worthy to ESCAPE all these terrifying things soon to befall the world. (Luke 21: 36).

You may escape the Great Tribulation. No PLAGUE will come near you. And, finally, given the precious gift of eternal life, you shall be used in God's Kingdom teaching and ruling those human beings made joyous in that PEACEFUL WORLD TOMORROW! The decision is now YOURS!

The End

David C. Pack: I Got Nothin’

 

David C. Pack: I Got Nothin’

 

The physical reality of prophetic failure two days in a row (again) has taken a toll. They have run out of ideas behind the front gate of Headquarters at The Restored Church of God. David C. Pack posted a pointless "Pathetic Update" in Member Services yesterday.

 

Color me disappointed that there were no accidentally immortalized comments to the degree of, “This was extremely hard to discern until God dropped a load of proof on us.”

 

Within 24 hours, that statement became more humorous and worthless than before. The "load of proof" became vapor because it did not come from God. It was all hot air seeping from the ears of a false apostle. How many more times will the enablers continue to prop up a golden calf and call him Pastor General?

 

After a full day of shrugging by the Coffee Kid and Meat Shield, Dave had no choice but to join in. Cartoon question marks appeared over their heads and are with us to this day. How is that for a sign or a wonder?

 

The First Kingdom of God Arrives on "I dunno."

 

The empty vessel is empty all right.

 

 

October 7, 2022

 

Dear brethren,

 

I neglected yesterday to reiterate that I personally intend to continue watching right into the Feast. There are eight post-Feast days in Tishrei for God’s Plan to spill into, while keeping all 10 days “in one month.” In fact, there are two alternate tracks at the Feast when the 10 days could start. Both are powerful. With today gone, time will show which track God has chosen. We still do not know which day and hour.

 

In Christ’s service,

 

David C. Pack

 

 

The only things "powerful" Dave comes up with nowadays are his brain farts. And those are just squeakers that fade quickly into obscurity.

 

This must have been thrown together at the last minute as the day wore on, and it “became clear” nothing significant was going to occur in Jerusalem or here in Wadsworth. Again. The only people surprised by this were those living inside David C. Pack’s head.

 

Enabler-in-Chief Brad knew it.

Stepford Prime Ed knew it.

Dr. Feelbad Jaco knew it.

Chicago Heavy Ken knew it.

Hireling Ryan knew it.

Hireling Tim knew it.

Hireling Carl knew it.

Meat Shield Andrew knew it.

Coffee Kid Jim knew it.

Hireling Salasi knew it.

Hireling Frank knew it.

Hireling Mike knew it.

Hireling-in-Training Raymond knew it.

 

All those who have left The Restored Church of God knew it. As they also knew his ambiguous “it could happen at the Feast or after the Feast” was coming. Dave is out of ideas. He’s got nothin’.

 

David C. Pack is a man spewing confusion, and the enablers lap it up. They are willfully blind. How few righteous will be left in that city before God destroys it?

 

“…time will show which track God has chosen.”

 

God has chosen the track that does not have you on it, Dave. The spirit that moves you and flows out your mouth is not from God. A simple passing of time forced this conclusion.

@ 1:49:15 All you gotta do is sit there and shut up and learn.

 

September 24, 2022

@ 17:57 But it’s impossible to believe that he doesn’t sound on Trumpets. So, is it a coincidence we’re learning this right now?

 

June 8, 2019

@ 32:00 God waited three years and seven months to explain to me He’s gonna come 60 hours before He does.

 

September 7, 2019

@ 1:51:26 Now, things either wrap up in the very near days to come or we simply don’t understand dozens of verses about timing.

 

May God have mercy on those who see this and ignore it.

 

God have mercy on you.

John Brisby: If You Criticize The Work You Are Blaspheming The Holy Spirit

 

Jon Brisby, the current head of the Church of God the Eternal, has not been known to be a sound theologian for many years now. Never having any real theological education other than a bunch of Herbert Armstrong's booklets, he resorts to lots of edicts that make no sense at all. That is evident in his silliness below describing how not supporting and criticizing the work is blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Bwana Bob will certainly get his holistic knickers in a major twist reading this since there is only ONE church actively doing the "work" today and it certainly is NOT Jon Brisby.

Jon wonders why his church is shrinking like the rest of the COG's, this is why:

Who then is in the greatest danger of committing this unpardonable sin—the sin that Christ said equates to blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? It is the one who is called by God to be part of His firstfruits harvest—pictured by the true Pentecost—but who is refusing to accept the Truth revealed in our very day by this same Jesus Christ. Christ confirmed that He did indeed do a Work in our day—these last days:

Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets; Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you (Acts 13:40–41). 

 

Christ said by this that His divine Work is present someplace right now. But many of His called children are claiming otherwise. Because of the misbehavior of many Church of God ministers of the past, they have become jaded and resentful against any organized group today. They believe that they can worship God just fine on their own. But Jesus Christ said otherwise: 

 

Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him (John 7:16–18).

Two facts are critical from this statement: First, the doctrine is everything. And secondly, recognizing the voice of God through chosen instruments who are sent is paramount. Christ promised that He would indeed preach that true doctrine through human instruments in our day:

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! (Romans 10:14–15)

Yet many of God's truly called children today are kicking against this very fact. They have vowed to trust no man to teach them the Truth of God. They will get it all by themselves through their personal prayer and study alone. But that very philosophy is an absolute denial of the Work of God being done today through the Spirit of Truth. They do not realize it, but it is exactly the same thing that the Pharisees were doing when denying that Christ's healing miracles came from God. It is a vilification, an evil speaking, a railing, and yes, a blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Because if Christ is truly working through a human ministry someplace upon this earth, and if some of His called children are refusing to acknowledge that Spirit of Truth in action, then they are not just rejecting "a man," but they are rejecting the very work of God's Spirit by Jesus Christ Himself: 

 

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, [it] shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning (John 15:20–27).

How then can you avoid being guilty of blaspheming the Holy Spirit and committing the unpardonable sin? No matter how much and how aggressively you may have been resisting God's divine Work thus far, it is still not too late. But you need to acknowledge that Christ truly is still working to feed His sheep miraculously through an organized remnant body. He promised that the gates of hell would never prevail against that true Church (Matthew 16:18). So it is here someplace. Wherever it is, it is a work that respects the original revelation of Truth given by God in our age through a chosen servant. If you are still claiming that Herbert Armstrong was not that servant—and you have every reason to know better—you are in danger. If you are acknowledging the legitimate origin of that true Church but are still chafing today at the requirement to "become part of" a remnant fellowship—because you refuse to be taught "by any man"—you are likewise treading on very dangerous ground. But if you are willing to fight against that enemy spirit which is seeking to keep you divided from the Body of Christ, and if you will humble yourself and hear the True Shepherd, even though it is coming through the foolishness of preaching (1 Corinthians 1:21), then you can escape the road that leads to death—eternal damnation. All it takes is an acknowledgment, and then a sincere walk in the correct direction. He will hear you, and He will lead you by His Spirit to bear real spiritual fruit.  Member letter, June 2022
