Dave Pack has another sermon. I slogged through it. Notes:
- The website will still be up after they flee.
- He quotes HWA saying that people will be riveted to their televisions watching _The World Tomorrow_. Pack corrects him — they won’t be watching WT and they won’t be riveted in front of their TVs.
- “We will be the hot topic at all the Starbucks and coffee houses.”
- “We’re going to grow so huge that […] all of the other splinters are going to be reduced to the size of a microdot.”
- “I’m going to show you an incredible prophecy that applies to us, and you’ve not thought about it for years, and maybe most of you have _never_ thought about it.” The incredible prophecy? I can’t remember. It was that amazing.
- “People are going to be talking the world over about the incredible innovations at our site.” Let’s see if any tech magazines write about it.
- “The huge, national-archives-like nature of our site.” Their little pile of nonsense would instantly be lost in the national archives.
- “Thousands and thousands of my sermons are heard every week.” At least he’s honest about what’s important.
- “’Then will they know that a prophet has been among you.’ That reference to ‘prophet’ is kind of interesting.” Ezekiel 33. He never says anything more about it, but, as ridiculous as it seems, I swear I’m sometimes convinced he’s going to try to say he’s one of the Two Prophets — maybe both.
- “They wonder from sea to sea.” He quotes, then asks, “Does this sound like the United States? Does this sound like the United Kingdom? Does this sound like Australia? Canada? South Africa? New Zealand?” Yes, and it sounds like Africa, Central America, Antarctica, Asia, South America, and Europe!
- The WCG was a type of the RCG — on a smaller scale.
- “’Oh, that’s arrogant!’ No it’s not! It’s just one speaking who understands how God warns.” He seems obsessed with the fact that people call him arrogant. Wonder why…
- He’s soon going to reveal what happens at 1,335 days! Answer: nothing.
- When they flee, they might put a message up on the site: “We’re turning out the lights and gone. Don’t bother to send any more mail, but you can continue reading. […] Wanna read where we are? Go read _God’s Promised Protection_. The Place of Safety. No one can answer your mail there. ” And we’ll all be saying, “Of course — they’ve gone off to drink cyanide in the jungle.”
- “There’s an army plotting to stop us. I mean, this is not all going to happen in a dark closet. […] This is all going to happen in the broad light of day, high noon, with no clouds in the sky. Very bright. The whole world’s going to know what happened.” Delusional. Simply delusional.
- Prophecy of Rev 10 is about us — the Little Book chapter!
- Little Book is Ezekiel.
- Angels not bound by the laws of god so they can swear on god’s name
- HWA was an apostle, but he fulfilled the role of Elijah the prophet. But he wasn’t a prophet. He was more.
- Talks about having five more years and doubling every five years. After that time, there’ll be 180 million visits a year. Wow! That’s a whole 3% of the world’s population! Now that’s making an impact.
- One of the spiritual gifts now exhibited by the RCG is speaking in tongues — the different languages Pack’s stuff is translated to.
- “Do you think you’ll go to world leaders,” and my answer is, “Apparently.” Ladies and gentlemen, I’ll go on the record here as saying that if Dave Pack meets with one world leader (U.S. congressmen don’t count), I’ll never say another word about the RCG.
- “We have to be prepared to say things to world leaders that are just not popular.” We? _We_? He must be joking.
- He basically says they could get rich selling the amazing development on their website — popup boxes and such. I have no idea how to do that.
- He expects to get one new “leader” a month for the next ten months, as well as five new staff members, and “hundreds more members.”
- There will be major announcements in the next ten months “as this work prophesies again.”
- “Get ready and fasten your seatbelts, because you are not going to want to miss what lies ahead.”
Yawn.
