Dave is the complete package now. Mental disorders, personality disorders, learning disorders, and cognitive disorders are all wrapped inside one meat sack.

 

RCG Goes Pentecostal

 

David C. Pack refuses to accept “no” as an answer.

 

Despite the ten-year legacy of failed dates and ever-changing prophetic understanding, the Pastor General of The Restored Church of God trudges on in haughty ignorance, blinded by his own splendor.

 

“The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 438)” on April 27, 2023, had 112 minutes of chalk-eating exposition that was best served cold and while sitting down.

 

Cinco de Mayo aka Iyar 15 aka Second Passover: DOA

The Thimble Kingdom Is Upgraded To A Shot Glass

Thank God Your Relatives Are Dead

Herbert W. Armstrong Was Right Despite Being Wrong

The First Kingdom To Israel: Pentecost*

The Second Kingdom Of God: Trumpets*

5 Billion People Die Forever Starting In August*

 

* As part of his new job description, no dates were expressly "declared" but were examined, discussed, suggested, and implied. The brethren will have to draw their own conclusions. Thanks a lot.

 

This ending summary hits a few points at once.

 

Part 438 – April 27, 2023

@ 1:51:43 Lemme say one last time, if you have friends or relatives who’ve died, thank God they did. One generation is so evil two-thirds of it can’t be allowed into the Kingdom of God at all. Not for a minute. So, I’ll say again, the enormity of what you just heard wouldn't allow this to be just one month. Never mind ten days. That idea is dead. I know things I’m not saying.

 

Neneer. Neneer.

 

David C. Pack's new job is to let the brethren know he knows stuff, but he will not tell the brethren all the stuff he knows because that is not his job. But, just know that he knows.

 

 

Note to the RCG Sound Team: The wrong microphone was at the table during Part 438. And overall, the audio has sounded awful for months. There must be no one left at Headquarters who can tell the difference between clean audio and tinny, high-frequency distorted audio.

 

Brad, I would be happy to help troubleshoot this. My rate is $60 an hour with a two-hour minimum. I estimate this will take about 15 minutes to solve. Dr. Ranney has my number.

 

 

Part 438 started out relatively flat on the interest scale, with no delusional opening zingers to transcribe.

 

I kept tapping the snooze button during the first twenty minutes until Dave started flirting with what all ex-members already predicted. Pentecost is next month, and none doubted where the prophetic compass would inevitably point. Duh.

 

Dave stepped through the parables of the Kingdom, teaching they relate to the First Kingdom to Israel [Thimble], and the harvest season came back into focus. This is an annual event.

 

@ 20:51 Now, for many reasons, I’ve come to believe the season of harvest is not when WE’ve thought.

 

Well, he means not in the past few weeks. Technically, this ground is covered every year.

 

@ 21:03 There are only two times in the Bible. It’s either Pentecost or Trumpets. Those would be the only two seasons of harvest.

 

As it turns out, it is both.

 

@ 21:29 But, it is interesting that if there were a kingdom that maybe went several months, then you'd be left with, "Hmm. Trumpets." When all those trumpets are going off, and Mr. Armstrong thought it was Trumpets and that's a season of harvest. And that's the midst of the years. “Oh, Mr. Pack, you’re not saying we’re gonna wait till Trumpets.” No. I just said we wouldn’t.

 

Tier 2 Dave would be compelled to add more snark, even to his imaginary person with an imaginary question, "I guess you weren't paying attention." The imaginary person would be embarrassed imaginarily.

 

The brethren will not be waiting until Trumpets because Pentecost is just around the corner. But Dave never declares it or "makes it plain." He is Mister Coy these days.

 

 

@ 22:01 But, we would have to consider something we’ve never talked about. We never saw a year. And this [Thimble] isn’t gonna cut it anymore.

 

The Thimble Kingdom is swapped out with a Shot Glass Kingdom because it is larger than previously thought. That initial period is four months rather than a few days, which blows up May 5. Those planning to rush out to see Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3, may now sigh in relief.

 

Delusion Alert

 

@ 22:25 Now, take a breath because the picture will soon lengthen. We’re gonna see how it works.

 

Dave often overestimates the magnificence of his own words as if they were made of gold dipped in honey. Once you have time to digest what he said, they more closely resemble what you would find in an unmaintained Rest Area bathroom along the interstate highway. Bathe in Purell quickly.

 

As if anyone in the Main Hall was even slightly enthused by what they just heard. No breathing patterns were disrupted within the last twenty-two minutes.

 

Being only an unordained non-prophet/non-psychic who was not in the room when this went down, how can I know this was not received with gasps and heart flutters?

 

The Kingdom of God was proclaimed to start next week on May 5. Now, they learn it is further away by weeks. The mirage moves into the distance each time they approach it. The carrot string grew by twenty feet when it was inches away a few days ago. This is hardly an encouraging development.

 

Take a breath? Who are you kidding, Dave?

 

To entertain an optimistic viewpoint, David C. Pack must also suffer from prosopagnosia, commonly known as “face blindness.” He is physically unable to discern joy from disappointment from apathy on the faces of the people in the Main Hall. This is a more recent development. In the past, he could bitch about the “smug, sullen faces” looking back at him.

 

I occasionally enjoy breakfast with Mr. Smug Face from Headquarters. His wife, Mrs. Smug Face, makes a terrific gin and tonic.

 

So, Dave is the complete package now. Mental disorders, personality disorders, learning disorders, and cognitive disorders are all wrapped inside one meat sack.

 

David C. Pack is a human sausage of debilitating conditions.

 

His god really knows how to pick a winner to dispense the most crucial information on the planet accurately and legibly in a stable fashion to ensure maximum credibility and harmonious reliability.

 

And this is the guy running a church.

 

 

By slogging through the entire one hour and fifty-three minutes of Part 438, the picture is not hard to follow, even when the details may be fuzzy. This is the broad stroke.

 

•  The Shot Glass First Kingdom to Israel begins on Pentecost, lasting four months and ending on the Feast of Trumpets in September.

 

• One month before the Feast of Trumpets, the Tribulation causes the permanent death of five billion people because they rejected God through His messenger, Elijah. So, it is better for RCG relatives and friends to already be dead so they can avoid the second death during this period.

 

•  The German/Assyrian Sixth Head Man of Sin is alive today. He rises at the start of that last month, causing world destruction. Jesus Christ will destroy him “by the brightness of His coming.”

 

• The Second 1-Year Kingdom of God begins on the Feast of Trumpets. There is a resurrection, a New Heaven, and a New Earth. The remaining 2.7 billion people are trained to assist members of RCG and Elijah That Prophet, with the larger resurrection in the next period.

 

• At the end of the 1-Year Kingdom of God, a resurrected Nebuchadnezzar becomes the Seventh Head. He is killed, but "his deadly wound is healed," and he returns as the Eighth Head during the next period.

 

• The Third 7-Year Kingdom of God is ruled by the Father. The Great Tribulation occurs at the tail end of this period. Eighth Head Nebuchadnezzar is killed again.

 

• The Fourth 1000-Year Kingdom of God is known as the Millennium.

 

A lot is missing from this summary, including the 1335, the 144,000, the Revelation horsemen and plagues and vials, and much more.

 

Remembering all the details for anything beyond sunset on May 27, 2023, is pointless. If that does not happen, neither will the rest as David C. Pack describes.

 

If history is to be trusted more than the words of David C. Pack, the picture and timing will continue to morph no matter how “impossible” it appears currently. Committing every nuance to memory is a fool’s errand, especially with Part 439 slated for today.

 

This prophetic layout is described for the express purpose of being a snapshot in time.

 

The primary purpose of exrcg.org is not to prove or disprove David C. Pack's theology but to document and inform. Today, he teaches X because Y is impossible. Tomorrow, he teaches Y because X is impossible.

 

That is the pattern of David C. Pack that I report. It is not a pattern I created.

 

 

Flashback Part 177 – June 6, 2019

@ 1:29:38 Wow, we’re just learning this right now. What are the odds we’re learning it right in front of Pentecost because how long would you want people to know this?

 

Flashback Part 253 – May 26, 2020

@ 1:54:28 Let me tell you what God would never do. He would never arrive on Pentecost. Never.

 

Flashback Part 254 – May 31, 2020

@ 1:00:28 So, I should've, on that basis, realized (probably) Pentecost’s events will not be on Pentecost, but when it looks like God picked a time, that's very close to it.

 

This next flashback shows David C. Pack is incapable of learning from mistakes, and he cannot remember the past.

 

Flashback Part 269 – October 3, 2020

@ 52:52 I thought over the past two years about the Kingdom coming on a feast day. I thought Pentecost is it. Is it a couple of years ago? Is it Passover? Is it Unleavened Bread? I could see feast tones here and there. Last year I thought it might be on the Sabbath during the Feast. And then I thought it might be the Last Great Day last year, but there was so much I didn’t know.

 

Hiding behind his newly-redefined role as a Date Non-Setter, David C. Pack did not say, "Jesus Christ returns on Pentecost in 2023." But he is saying that. The First Shot Glass Kingdom to Israel begins on Pentecost. The Second 1-Year Kingdom of God begins on Trumpets. That was the central point of Part 438.

 

Pentecost is back in the crosshairs for The Restored Church of God, as it has been many times before.

 

On May 28, 2023, there will be no whooping, arm-waving, or hollering of "Praise Jesus" in the Main Hall at Headquarters, but the brethren are steered back into a Pentecostal mindset since Cinco de Mayo was canceled. The man bought himself four more weeks of Failure Pad.

 

During Part 438, David C. Pack did not touch himself on the forehead, fall back slain in the spirit to writhe, and convulse on the floor. But, it would have been better for the brethren if he did. Then, some may have had the sense to wake up and run.

 

Part of me thinks that even if he flailed and scurried about muttering and peeping, most brethren and most Headquarters enablers would still choose to stay.

 

If RCG went full Pentecostal, it would not make a difference.

Dave Pack: "unhinged," "losing it," and "deteriorating."

No More Tiers

 

David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God cannot help himself sometimes. As the years wear on, he continues to be worn down by the unending Series. The shroud of restraint decays, allowing the brethren to catch glimpses of what their Pastor General is like behind the curtain.

 

While working at Headquarters, I recognized his comfort tiers with letting people see his true face. The more conversations I had with former ministers and employees, the more this tier system was supported.

 

The posthumously granted William H. Behrer recordings gave a real-time snapshot at the most intimate level. The first article revealed how David C. Pack wanted Bill to lie to a member to apply pressure to get money (Common). The second article covered Dave’s unrealistic demands on the History Channel. None of which he received, but he did the show anyway. In the recording for the third article, Dave mused if the RCG ministers were incompetent. This shined a documented light on Tier 1.

There are worse stories out there. Ask Ryan Denee.

 

Tier 1 – Inner circle confidants

Tier 2 – Headquarters ministers

Tier 3 – Headquarters employees

Tier 4 – Field ministers

Tier 5 – Headquarters congregation

Tier 6 – Church brethren

Tier 7 – Public*

 

Since departing from RCG, I have had long conversations, including story-swaps with at least eight former ministers and all three of Dave’s adult children. Some of those people I now consider friends.

 

Though I do not share their details publicly because it is up to them to decide if their information should be released, every person had a similar theme regarding David C. Pack.

 

Who you see on the screen is not the man he is when the door is closed. Universal. Across the board. David C. Pack used to be very aware of his surroundings and adjusted his behavior to the audience witnessing him.

 

But not anymore.

 

Universally, across the board, those folks agree the last twelve months have revealed a change in Dave’s ability to restrain himself. Some phrases I heard stuck with me, "unhinged," "losing it," and "deteriorating."

 

 

Tiers used to separate Dave’s levels of honesty.

 

What he would say to Tier 1 Confidants is not something he would repeat to all Tier 2 HQ Ministers, especially if he was talking things through, scheming, or committing character assassination.

 

Tier 2 would hear information not to be shared with Tier 3 HQ Staff unless it was Campus or church-development related. The Headquarters ministers enjoy endless hours-long ministerial Bible studies that blow up schedules and melt brains. If you did not tow the company line in there, you got sniped. The most shocking discussion that two men corroborated independently was when Dave asked, "Is Jesus Christ God?"

 

Tier 3 HQ Staff would hear things only because of proximity to Dave that would not get to Tier 4 Field Ministers. Field ministers would sometimes learn something at the same time as Tier 6 Brethren. The staff would receive mini-sermons once in a while before lunch. The Staff Meetings had some interesting eyes-only nuggets, especially after a minister left or was fired.

 

Tier 4 Field Ministers would get information formally filtered through Church Administration or their Headquarters contact. A field minister is an obviously “adopted child” in the organization. As long as they repeat the pre-packaged script when uncomfortable questions arise and keep the tithes flowing, they are labeled “faithful” by their benevolent benefactors.

 

Tier 5 HQ Congregation would hear things at the lectern that were later edited out by MPS before they reached Tier 6 Brethren. Edges of the blade were selectively dulled before it reached the wider audience. The local congregation was also privileged to encounter conversations with the Pastor General in the hallway while everyone enjoyed a coffee. This was especially popular after a message when singing praises to Dave was involved.

 

Tier 6 Brethren used to receive the sanitized versions of the sermons. For a while, they even received extra content recorded after the fact and spliced in that Monday. Back in the days of the Feast of Tabernacles Hand-Shaking Line, this is when the ordinary people were allowed to meet Caesar, kiss his ring, and enjoy a momentary thrill.

 

Unless things have changed, they stopped doing that in 2020.

 

Tier 7 Public is non-existent. The last new The World to Come episode was released over five years ago, in December 2017. The others posted since were re-edited re-releases. The Media Center Studio is now a Museum of Church History, most utilized when bankers come by for a tour.

 

*The caveat to this is the sporadic Brethren/Co-Worker Letters distributed to those who are not members yet have given RCG money. In this case, Tier 6 Brethren get content that is removed so the Tier 7 Public does not become alarmed because Jesus Christ is set to return next week.

To any co-workers or donors who get this publication: You receive a sanitized version. FYI.

 

 

That long explanation laying out the Tiers has a purpose.

 

What David C. Pack used to say only to Tier 2 HQ Ministers is now shared with the Tier 6 Brethren. The self-awareness curtains have come down. The rants and hissy fits that only Tier 3 HQ Staff were subject to are now spittled on the entire church.

 

Part 400 – October 22, 2022

 

The very things MPS used to cut out of sermons are now free to fly to the broader audience.

 

Part 396 – October 1, 2022

Part 407 – November 30, 2022

Criticisms leveled at the church brethren now have nitromethane added to the fuel tank.

Part 430 – March 18, 2023

Over the past year, David C. Pack has learned who God works with and who will receive salvation. That is quite a leap in responsibilities for an apostle to determine. The Tier separating God and Dave has also been growing thin.

 

 

Why is this happening? The guy does not care anymore.

 

David C. Pack is exhausted by defeat and is weary with losing. The endless Series is a heavy load to bear. He has said so. No matter how many times he puts Bible verses together to create a perfect, crystal clear picture, it turns to ash just before the ruse-induced date he was sure was finally IT occurs.

 

All is not well. Things are off the tracks. Nothing is fine.

 

“How could it fail when all the ministers agreed?”

“How can this be wrong when the verses point to this being as certain as rain?”

“How could the chosen messenger misunderstand the most important message he would ever deliver?”

 

Because this is NOT his job. It is not David C. Pack’s job to unseal Daniel. It is not David C. Pack’s job to end the Mystery of God. It is not David C. Pack’s job to become the final Elijah That Prophet.

 

He will never succeed because he was never commissioned to take this on. Dave’s god is an incompetent lying trickster. The god Dave serves leaves him high and dry with his trousers around his ankles and pie on his face. The Spirit of Error runs the show at Headquarters now. But, the lawn sure looks nice.

 

David C. Pack and the brethren of The Restored Church of God are waiting for a bus that will never come. The route was changed, but they are unwilling to see the signposts all around them. They refuse to acknowledge the evidence flailing before their eyes and screaming in their ears.

 

David C. Pack is a fraud.

 

 

RCG is caught in a behavioral time loop. Dave sells a house to the brethren built on sand. It collapses, but the brethren still want to buy it. So, he builds another house on the same spot. It also collapses, but the brethren are determined to keep buying it. Gladly, Dave builds another in the same spot.

 

House built on sand. Collapse. House built on sand. Collapse. House built on sand. Collapse.

 

That is The Restored Church of God.

 

Even ants can figure out to move and build somewhere else.

 

Dave is either an idiot with a severe learning disability or the man is cursed. He is either stupid or compelled without awareness. Intelligence is not the core issue here.

 

His narcissistic ego forbids him from facing reality. Those who recognize what is happening in RCG and choose to stay are far worse off than those who are blissfully ignorant, embracing willful blindness.

 

May 5 will come and go despite David C. Pack shrugging it off as “not his job.” It is too late for that. He said the Kingdom of God would arrive on the Iyar 15. The counter ticks down.

 

As the Tiers of self-control continue to collapse into each other, the deterioration of David C. Pack will further escalate. Desperation and exasperation take a sledgehammer to his mental-verbal restraints.

 

There will come a day when the man's most wild and crazed thoughts will shoot out of his mouth directly to the entire church.

 

That will be the day we all understand there are no more tiers.

Bumbling Dave

A Study With Paper

 

David C. Pack unintentionally reveals moments of who and what he is from time to time.

 

During “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 437)” on April 23, 2023, what appeared to be a mild kerfuffle was actually a mini-character study with paper. Not on paper but incited by the topic of paper.

 

To fully appreciate the analysis, watch the 87-second video first.

This transcript is for those who can no longer stand the sound of his voice. If you watched the video, feel free to skip this.

 

Part 437 – April 23, 2023

@ 10:11 "And behold, in this horn, there were eyes, like the eyes of man and the mouth speaking great things." Now, I had this marked upstairs, but I have the wrong document here. I didn't get the correct document. So, my eyes are gonna hafta work on this a little bit harder. I had all kinds of caps and stuff. So, "I beheld till the thrones were cast down and the Ancient of Days did sit whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head was like the pure wool. His throne and fiery flame and wheels as burning fire." So, here is this horn in verse eight, who seems to be here before God comes with judgment. And I'm gonna ask one of the men to go upstairs and get that other document because there's other stuff on here that I really do need. Now I work with a lot of paper. Please forgive them. They do the best they can. And it is just it's a challenge. There's just mountains and reams of documents and research we deal with. And I will say this, they sent me down here with a document I'm not supposed to have. So in their mind, they probably helped out. And it's a big document, and I covered it on Thursday. Except they expanded it because they're profitable servants. But I'm actually not covering it today.

 

This incident reminded me of the torture those around Dave have suffered over the years. The seething darkness just below the surface bubbles up with accusatory jabs and bitter, condescending critiques disguised as humor.

 

At times like this, I feel sorry for Jim Habboush and Andrew Holcombe all over again. I personally like those guys despite my pure disgust for the doctrines they invent. After they leave RCG, both will need therapy to work through the mental and emotional trauma their proximity subjects them to.

 

That is not a joke, nor do I say it flippantly. Working closely with David C. Pack damages people.

 

 

Regardless of how “light” this may appear, there was hell to pay upstairs if history is our guide. The greatest sin you can ever commit in The Restored Church of God is to inconvenience Mr. Pack.

 

Over the years, I have watched Dave throw people under the bus from the front of the room. The mangled bodies crushed under the tires create a cushion between blame and himself. Nobody is safe when a thorn in the flesh has a name attached to it, whether it is a family member or a high-ranking minister. Under the right circumstances, anyone can become public meat for the grinder.

 

Be sure to ask Ryan Denee if he forgot about the time(s) it was his turn.

 

During Part 437, Dave's two assistants did him raw, and he could not let it go quietly.

 

 

@ 10:17 Now, I had this marked upstairs, but I have the wrong document here. I didn't get the correct document.

 

He did not receive it. He was supposed to, but someone on his team let him down.

 

In this case, I give Jim and Andy the full benefit of the doubt. Those guys are so determined to do things right and are such Nervous Nellies about making sure their apostle is well-attended, I would bet them $20 that they gave Dave the sheet, but he forgot to bring it with him.

 

I stand beside Jim and Andy on this one because I have witnessed similar instances where Dave was entirely to blame after he blamed someone else.

 

But the point is, the knee-jerk reaction of the Pastor General is to blame someone else. As is his custom.

 

A good friend of mine told me the story of how he placed a piece of paper in Dave's hand. But a few days later, in a meeting, Dave called him out in front of others for never providing what he requested. My friend tried to set the record straight before witnesses but soon learned a bitter Headquarters lesson.

 

The lesson was: the boss is always right even when facts and reality prove the opposite.

 

 

@ 10:23 So, my eyes are gonna hafta work on this a little bit harder. I had all kinds of caps and stuff.

 

Meaning: Your incompetence makes me exert more effort, fellas. Woe is me.

 

@ 10:54 And I'm gonna ask one of the men to go upstairs and get that other document because there's other stuff on here that I really do need. Now I work with a lot of paper. Please forgive them. They do the best they can.

 

This may sound like Dave is defending them, but he is the one leveling judgment that will require forgiveness. His later comments prove it was already on his mind.

 

The best they can do is not good enough for the apostle. Both men failed him even though they tried really hard.

 

Neither one of those guys are slackers. He could not find better men to serve him. But their best was still a disappointment. He will put a bow on that in seconds.

 

@ 11:10 And it is just it's a challenge. There's just mountains and reams of documents and research we deal with.

 

This further excusing feels like Dave insulating himself rather than them. Maybe he realized he had left the document curled behind the urinal handle. Or it was still under his coffee mug in the Third Floor Executive Imaginarium.

 

Call me, guys. Dr. Ranney has my number.

 

 

This is where the rubber meets the road. This is the real heart of the matter and why it is worthy of an article.

 

@ 11:17 And I will say this, they sent me down here with a document I'm not supposed to have.

 

Here is the bow wrapped in forgiveness.

 

Dave volunteers an entirely unnecessary comment to throw salt in the wound. He went out of his way to further inflame the situation by publicly pointing out YET ANOTHER flaw in his assistants’ execution.

 

They really botched things when they forgot to give him a vital document but also plagued him further with one he did not want.

 

A decent human being would have let that go. A man expressing outgoing love and concern would not bring it up. An empathetic person would hold his peace.

 

But not David C. Pack. If you wrong him, people will hear about it. As I am sure, they did after the message. Someone's backside got tanned after the elevator door closed.

 

@ 11:22 So, in their mind, they probably helped out.

 

Their help was an illusion. It was all in their mind and not reality. Dave is so good at recognizing that when the thoughts are in the heads of others.

 

This is like when a cat leaves a dead bird on your doorstep as a gift. The cat thinks it is helping you. You may be repulsed, but you can appreciate the sentiment.

 

Jim and Andy placed a dead bird beside Dave's Bible at the table. And he just had to say something about it because it is his nature.

 

@ 11:25 And it's a big document, and I covered it on Thursday.

 

The distracting document offending his eyes was worthless because it was old information and useless to him today.

 

@ 11:28 Except, they expanded it because they're profitable servants.

 

They wasted their time expanding something unessential.

 

@ 11:32 But I'm actually not covering it today.

 

When Dave prepares with his team, they do not know all of what Dave will cover. Even when Brad Schleifer is involved, he cannot say for sure what elements Dave will or will not teach when he goes to the front of the room.

 

Trust me, we tried.

 

Even if I checked in advance with Brad, Jim, and Andy that XYZ would be covered, Dave would step down without covering it. The man is a walking tornado. Unpredictable, chaotic, and destructive. The tornado goes where the tornado goes when it wants to go there. You can try to predict where it will touch down, but you just cannot know for sure. That is David C. Pack.

 

To double down on that $20 bet with Jim and Andy, I suspect they had that Kingdom document up there because it would support material he decided at the table to NOT cover. They probably discussed him covering that beforehand, but he made a non-verbal decision at the table and, in his mind, found it pointless after he sat down.

 

That means there was no way of knowing Dave would not refer to the irritating eyesore document. Yet, the way his mind works, he decided later he did not need it, but it was still their fault for providing it.

 

Or it was a simple “just in case” consideration that received a church-wide slap in the face.

 

There is a common Headquarters saying in regards to David C. Pack.

 

“Damned if you do. Damned if you don’t.”

 

When available, there is sometimes the backup plan.

 

“Let Brad handle it.”

 

 

Much character study can be gleaned from brief moments when you slow down to examine them. Reading Between the Lines helps a bunch, but so does seeing the patterns and recognizing them for what they are.

 

This character study supports all the others regarding who and what David C. Pack is. That picture is crystal clear and never shifts.

 

Look at all you got to see just because of a piece of paper.
