Inept false teacher David C. Pack cannot get something as basic as when the New Moon occurs correctly, even when he tries. There is either staggering incompetence on the Third Floor at The Restored Church of God Headquarters, or this is another example of mind-control manipulation and intentional deception packaged as reality originating from a perverted sense of apostolic authori-tah.

Since The Restored Church of God began publicly privately observing New Moons, letting useful idiots like Edward Winkfield repeat it was a "wonderful, wonderful thing," the spiritually corrupt “non-profit” organization cannot seem to find its sea legs about when they should keep it.

As previously reported, Church Administration announced they were officially blowing off the February 2024 New Moon observance, punctuating the doubts of their resolve.

New Moon Update

Please note that with the new moon of Adar 1 falling on the Sabbath of February 10, there will not be a Friday evening Bible study from Headquarters on February 9.

The messages you will hear during Sabbath services will provide ample spiritual food, so there is no need for a separate new moon Bible study.

The Restored Church of God established that a New Moon occurring on a Friday could be skipped due to the ample spiritual food provided on the Sabbath. Sunday keepers will store that in their back pocket for the next time they are pressed about the Seventh-Day Sabbath.

So much for God’s gift of revealed end-time knowledge. If RCG can blow off a Friday New Moon, of course, they can blow off a Sunday New Moon. And despite the contradictory proclamations of David C. Pack, that is exactly what The Restored Church of God did.

New Moon-flavored “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 498)” was delivered on March 11, 2024.

But that was not on the New Moon. The New Moon was on Sunday, March 10. Not on March 11. Only inquisitive brethren with internet access could know that for sure.

David C. Pack is playing a shell game with the moon phases, just as he does with the Scriptures.

David C. Pack creates his own version of reality. His words make something true even when it is not. He repeats falsehoods and counts on sleepy brethren to not fact-check him. The utterances of David C. Pack do not hold up to scrutiny or even remembrance.

Flashback Part 496 – March 2, 2024
@ 44:39 That’s why I’m telling you, [chuckles] you just do not wanna miss the next two messages Sabbath and then Monday evening at the New Moon.

Flashback Part 497 – March 9, 2024
@ 01:19 We will meet again on Monday at the New Moon, and I'll finish what I don’t cover tonight.

Making a judgment call pertaining to David C. Pack’s character is a binary decision.

A) Pastor General David C. Pack is incompetent.
B) Pastor General David C. Pack is a willful liar.

To be entirely fair, “C) Both” is a reasonable option, though it was not provided.

David C. Pack and the complacent enablers at Headquarters should leave the calculations for the moon cycles to the experts. Maybe they cannot bring themselves to rely on the moon nerds at NASA. After all, what could those math and science-minded heathens possibly know about the nature of the moon phases?

According to false apostle David C. Pack, the New Moon occurred on March 11. With some Photoshop chops, the Art/Graphics Department can alter this infographic to align with its fraudulent doctrinal narrative.

For those who prefer accurate information over the duplicitous propaganda of The Restored Church of God, mooninfo.org is a worthy stop on your fact-finding journey.

With the available abundance of accurate technological information for calculating the exact moment of a New Moon, why would Pastor General David C. Pack repeat over and over that it was on Monday, March 11, instead of what everyone else in the world knew to be true: Sunday, March 10?

His arrogant, nefarious motivations were intentional.

He did not want to speak on Sunday because of the ample spiritual food provided on the Sabbath. Since he believes himself to be an apostle, whatever he says on earth is bound in heaven. Yes, David C. Pack thinks to change times and laws. In remarkable ways, David C. Pack makes the Bible come alive. It is as if he intentionally tries to make the Scripture’s warnings point to him.

Part 498 – March 11, 2024
@ 00:16 …so we can have the New Moon meal afterwards. I'm trying to remember if I've spoken on a New Moon, I was starting to say. Can't remember if I did.

He was not speaking on the New Moon. How many brethren knew that? How many hirelings at Headquarters knew that? The timid mollusks at Headquarters cannot be trusted, and they prove that by their commission and omission.

Yeah, I am looking right at you, Bradford G. Schleifer. You fancy yourself a technology and science enthusiast, which means you absolutely knew the New Moon was on Sunday. How thin is your moral resilience these days? You can keep slicing off more of your flexible sincerity for the sake of sucking up to Dave and his madness, but only for so long. Unless your conscience is already seared with a hot iron.

@ 32:08 Now, we’re keeping a New Moon.

The data-whore goofballs at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration say otherwise.

David C. Pack is a liar.
It is not what he does but who he is.

That observation is a provable fact. Identifying a wolf as a wolf is not condemning him to the Lake of Fire. The warnings in the Bible are there for a reason. David C. Pack is his own worst enemy and we all know he can name some names.

I would relish the opportunity to prove David C. Pack is a liar to the State of Ohio. This is one of the many reasons why The Restored Church of God will not take legal action against exrcg.org. Being compelled to open their records, having a jury of our peers listen to hours of the Pastor General claiming to be sent by God, listing the failed dates for the return of Jesus Christ, and then getting David C. Pack on the stand to just let the guy talk… wow. That would be the trial of the century here in Medina County. My buddy Peter told me he would fly down from Canada to sit in the gallery. Stiff drinks and laughter would carry us through each night.

Despite not actually speaking on the New Moon, David C. Pack was super-excited to share his New Moon-themed material with the brethren. He discovered an annual three-day New Moon festival in the Bible, sprinkled "in code" in the Old and New Testaments.

Jonathan, David, and Saul kept this event. So did Daniel. Even Jesus Christ observed it between the lines of the New Testament verses. Like an elephant in the clouds, David C. Pack can see what others cannot.

@ 24:41 Nobody understands this. But it’s as plain as day when God opens it up. And remember, Daniel being unsealed is a sign that we’re near the end. I never understood this until recently. We couldn’t have been near the end. But I do now.

The unsealing of Daniel has been a laborious, fickle process.

Flashback Part 211 – October 24, 2019
@ 1:05:27 Now for a truly astounding discovery… And without understanding this verse, Daniel could never be considered unsealed. So… today and not before today, is Daniel fully unsealed.

Flashback Part 282 – January 22, 2021
@ 1:44:27 Daniel has been unsealed. We’re near the time of the end.

Dave was jazzed to teach about the New Moon observances he discovered. He was almost giddy.

Part 498 – March 11, 2024
@ 32:46 Jonathan, David, Saul kept a three-day New Moon. Yearly New Moon. It’s all through the Bible.

@ 32:59 I'm gonna show you in the New Testament. Christ kept it. Christ turned water into wine on the third day of the annual three-day yearly New Moon celebration.

@ 33:32 That's an important thing to know because, at the Millennium it opens with that three days of the Feast. And the Father's gonna have the world keep those three days several times before this monster rises. We're waiting for one in about 28 days. Little less now.

@ 34:50 Christ’s first miracle was on the third day of the yearly New Moon celebration. It just says “on the third day.” Not the third day of a wedding because the way [chuckles] you can't have a wedding go three days. On the third day of this three days, there was a wedding, and that's a nice thing.

@ 1:09:54 But I wanna plant a seed. We may get all the way to April 8th. I hope so. Because if anything happens before that, it will be very unpleasant based on the verses I think I understand. Very unpleasant [chuckles] and pray nothing happens. But I am not convinced it’s gonna be that way.

@ 1:12:12 I’m I I know a little more than I’m telling you, but I’m not gonna I’m not gonna assert it because I’m not sure. It’s but. Some of the most complicated thing I’ve ever read.

The illusion of unproven understanding at work.

@ 1:54:22 Had we learned all of this too soon, we would have ended the pursuit of knowledge and not learned so many other fascinating things. If we learned this too soon. And I wanted to say that. That’s a huge thing to consider. Think of all that we learned because it took eight-and-a-half years.

By that logic measurement, taking another twenty years would be even better from a knowledge-pursuit standpoint.

Flashback Part 10 – January 9, 2016
@ 1:50:24 Try to imagine. We could not be told or shown too early about the First Dominion or we would have read Revelation 22 before it was true! Do you understand?

Despite the repeated claims of David C. Pack, Part 498 was not delivered on the New Moon. They had a New Moonish service and meal because The Restored Church of God refused to observe it correctly.

They skipped it in February. They missed it in March. They just do not take it seriously.

Understanding the motivations behind obvious error points to willful lying or spectacular incompetence on the behalf of all the “leaders” at Headquarters. If any hireling knew it was wrong and failed to bring it forward, they are a coward. If the information was ignored, then the Campus in Wadsworth exposed itself again as a nest of dark trickery. Yeah, the True Church indeed.

Which is it, Brad? Are you guys knowingly wicked or are you guys ignorantly stupid?

David C. Pack perverts the Bible to make it say what he wants. He adds to and takes away from the words of the prophecy of the book. The New Moon doctrines are a new game he plays with the brethren. Using sleight of hand magic, he keeps the members guessing what is real when the answer is right in front of them.

The Kingdom of God will not arrive on April 8, 2024. World Hell will not “break out” before April 8.

The darkness that settles over the Headquarters Campus on April 8 will not just be the total solar eclipse but a perfect illustration of the lack of light, love, and truth emanating from David C. Pack and The Restored Church of God.
