Former RCG Member/Employee Talks About Abuse In David C. Pack's Cult Compound In Wadsworth



A former employee and member of David C. Packs Restored Church of God has written a letter to Exit and Support Network detailing the hell he went through for a few months at Dave's cult compound in Wadsworth.  He also tells how RCG members sold their homes and land in ordered to send it in to Dave to finance his great COG reunification that FAILED to happen this past Saturday.

He writes:

Why I Left Restored Church of God

I left the Restored Church of God about one month ago. I moved out to, lived, and worked in Wadsworth, Ohio at the RCG Headquarters for two months. Many of the things I went through and witnessed caused me to leave. Now with David C. Pack's "remnant prophecy" a complete flop, it is another good reason I left.

While at Headquarters, I saw a lot of scared and unhappy individuals. There was a superficial look of happiness, but I sensed a lot of uneasiness in many of the members. There was a lot of pressure from those on the top of the church government to get certain projects done, whether it was putting up chandeliers, getting a room ready for a certain date, getting the landscaping in place, or constructing a waterfall. What came down from the top was immediate priority and had to get done when they wanted. Everyone felt the pressure, no matter what department you worked in. Some lacked sleep.

As a worker who was going to be a future student at RCG's Ambassador Center, I, and many other students, were being shuffled around the student housing that they provided. I had to move three times during my stay at Wadsworth. Wherever they told you you were going to stay was where you were going to stay. I met one member there who had moved four times--every month since he moved out there. Much of one's behavior is controlled and influenced by what "the church" wants, from dress to dancing to dating etc.

I remember at one RCG service I had noticed a member who was not at services the week before, so I asked them if they were okay. They said that they had gotten sick last week because of all the pressure and the increased work load that was laid on them since the move into the new Administrative Hall.
For Dave Pack, the cult compound he is building is all about himself and the money he needs to build it.   Just like COG leaders in Pasadena (including HWA) he treats his employees like dirt while spending money on vainglorious items to furnish his buildings and home with.  His ministers are also sharing in this moneymaking scheme.  That is the main reason none of them have had the balls to come out and say that Dave is a liar and a fraud after his epic prophetic failure this past Saturday.  These ministers and their wives would rather whore themselves out to the almighty dollar than to be men and women of integrity. These men and women do not have a Christian bone in their bodies.

He continues:

While ministers, ministers' wives, and others in the upper echelon at HQ ogled over expensive chandeliers, fancy wooden trim, waterfalls, and a well-striped and manicured grounds, there were many members who were hurting physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. Ministers live in expensive housing, drive in fairly expensive new vehicles. Many of the lay members were always required and admonished to give more. It was never enough. The RCG would pursue projects they didn't immediately have the funds for, so they would pressure the congregations through weekly announcements and sermons to raise more funds. Now the RCG has recently purchased over 50 more acres of land!
The ministers and evangelists in Pasadena did the exact same thing.  They were completely out of touch with the everyday members of the chruch.  They had no idea whatsoever how people struggled to make ends meet while the upper echelon dined on champagne and caviar and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars remolding their homes at church expense.

He then writes the following about how RCG members sold their homes to finance Dave's asinine reunification that failed to happen.  They are now without homes while Dave still lives in the lap of luxury as he pretends nothing happened.

David Pack's remnant prophecy was another big reason I left. I had a bad feeling about it the closer the month of August came. He claimed that part of the books of Haggai and Zechariah indicated that three splinter group leaders would die by fire on the same day and that many of those members of the splinters would flock to Restored Church of God by the Sabbath of August 31st. Clearly, none of that has happened, and unfortunately many of the members have poured out immense amounts of funds, resources, and endless fundraising to get ready to absorb this supposed remnant. Many sold houses and properties and have given up most or almost all of what they had. I miss a lot of the friends I made in RCG. I feel bad for them, because I know that a lot of them have invested a lot of time, money, and assets to "the church."

Dale Schurter, Larry McElroy and all the other RCG ministers are complicit in this criminal activity.  These men are sick men just like Dave is.  They know Dave lied and they continue to cover up for him.

 For anyone who is thinking or looking to joining Restored Church of God, you now have a false prophet / apostle / high priest / Joshua / whatever you want to call it to look up to and follow. He set a date for something to happen. He felt that God revealed it to him through Scripture. The event never happened. The RCG just purchased over 50 more acres of land which was expected to be paid for by the "remnant" who never came. Break it down and keep it simple.

Larry McElroy and Dale Schurter: What Do They Now Have In Common?



Dale Schurter and Larry McElroy were two of David C Pack's triumphs in poaching ministers and hope in drawing members from other COG's.

In their bid to jump ship they allowed themselves to be prostituted out to Dave's beliefs and rules.  Both of them bragged about how they had their "eyes and minds washed" when they came into Dave's personalty cult.  They sold their souls and integrity to accept everything Dave says as 100% truth.

Even worse, these two are complicit with Dave in defrauding and lying to the members of the Restored Church of God.  Both of these men now know for a fact, that Dave's recent 20 some week rant about the great COG reunification and the PROMISED deaths of three COG leaders, was an abject FAILURE!  Knowing this, these two men still support Dave in his insidious moneymaking schemes and building projects.

Both of these men are now unemployable in the other COG's for their apostasy to Dave's cult compound in Wadsworth.  Schurter will stay on with Dave, because Dave has promised him a garden patch to work his mind boggling agricultural miracles on. McElroy will continue to lie for and uphold Dave  because he has no income to support him in his old age.  Members be damned, the money is more important.

Neither of these two men have the balls to confront Dave in his bald-faced lies and walk away.  They are nothing more than cheap two-dollar whores who sell themselves to the highest bidder.  Money speaks in Dave's personalty cult and these two have lined their pockets.

James Malm: Boys MUST Be Circumcised On 8th Day and Mothers Are Unclean for 40 Days Unless You Were Stupid Enough To Have a Girl, Then Its 80 Days



The uber-legalist bullshitter is back today expounding on Leviticus.  He cant talk about  Jesus Christ, but spends every waking moment talking and writing about the law.

Today he is extolling the virtues of circumcision and unclean women.

Leviticus 12 is about childbirth and the purifying after childbirth.

12:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 12:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
We are commanded to circumcise our sons on the eighth day of their life.  The eighth day represents a new beginning and circumcision is an allegory of the removal of the sin that separates people  from God, making them sensitive to the whole word of God and reconciling them to God.

 This is an allegory of the spiritual circumcision that truly reconciles all humanity to the Father; which is completed when all humanity has repented and had the atoning sacrifice of Christ applied to them, being spiritually circumcised and reconciled to the Father. 

Circumcision pictures the Eighth Day Feast representing all humanity being in spirit and going forward into eternity with the Father.  This will be explained much more during the coming fall Festivals.




During this eight days the unclean mother is to be in seclusion:

The mother must remain in seclusion for another 33 days making the total of 40 days.  The forty days being the period of purifying before entering the presence of God [the tabernacle, temple or any holy place].   See Moses two, forty days of fasting before entering the presence of God; and the forty day fast of Christ before his trial to prepare him for his mission.

Let me also say that such a seclusion is of great benefit to the mother and child; giving them time in a close family home environment to bond and to recover from the birth and develop immunity to disease.  Breast feeding is highly important for this bonding and natural immunization process.  

One should never allow the child to be artificially immunized by physicians since this is known to cause autism and a variety of other issues like SIDS; and should avoid baby formulas unless the mother cannot nurse; then the first choice should be a converted wet nurse [with a biblical diet] and not formula.

If the woman was stupid enough to have a female child she is to be considered unclean for double the amount of time.

12:4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
If a female child is born the mothers separation shall be double that of a male child.

66 days plus two weeks is 80 days.  My wife and I practiced this by mutual consent for each of our four children.

We make these sacrificial offerings by going to the Father in prayer and asking that the sacrifice of Christ be applied to us, and asking for an understanding of these things.
For those women out there that don't want children, or are delaying children, in Malm's world you are a filthy sinner.  His god COMMANDS that you reproduce, and reproduce, and reproduce

A sin offering for the shed blood; which goes back to Eden where sin and bloodshed entered the world and a burden was placed on women for that sin, as a perpetual reminder of sin, Gen 3:16; the sin offering, being the application of Christ’s sacrifice for the repentant obedient woman.  And a burnt offering to  demonstrate the wholehearted faithful service to the Father of Jesus Christ and those of like-mind.  For the woman is commanded to reproduce, and childbearing  is a great service to the Father, for a woman gave birth to Messiah the Christ, the Deliverer of humanity.

James Malm: Heathen COG's Will Be Keeping Trumpets On Wrong Day



God's greatest living apostle (after Dave Pack, of course) is James Malm.  He has declared that the TRUE Feast of Trumpets will begin at sunset on Saturday, September 7th and go through Sunday, September 8th.  It is also very important that all TRUE followers of Malm have adequate food and drink on hand because they will not be able to prepare any food for the feast because it is a double sabbath weekend.  Only heathen God haters  would dare go out to a restaurant on these two days!

Notice all the legalistic bullshit that Malm has to go through in order to keep the one true day:

The Feast of Trumpets this year will begin at sunset on Saturday September 7, 2013 and continue until sunset on Sunday September 8, 2013. 

Make sure that you are prepared and have enough food and whatever else you may need, for the Sabbath and the immediately following High Day.

The new moon will not even be potentially visible in Judea on Friday evening, Visibility is impossible from Israel on September 6, 2013 . 

The new moon will be easily visible from Israel on Saturday night September 7, 2013; making Sunday the Feast of Trumpets. 

Also the last new moon was sighted from Israel on Thursday night August 8, 2013. This makes Saturday night September 7 the 31st evening from the previous sighting. Since a lunar month can only be 29 or 30 days long, Saturday night has to be the Feast of Trumpets  by default, whether or not the moon is actually sighted.

Friday night: there will only be 21 minutes lagtime from sunset ;with 1.58% illumination.  the moon will not be seen over Judea in any case since its limit of visibility is south of Judea.

Saturday night: 58 minutes lagtime; 5.17% illumination and a more northerly position, makes a sighting of the first visible light in Judea very easy.
