Insofar as he is still going strong (no really updated
information located) Charles L. Pack must be pretty old. And, of course, and
more notably, pretty dingbat insane. Pack is the founder, conference director
and president of Thy Kingdom Come, Inc., author of multiple booklets on Bible
prophecy, publisher of the bi-monthly Spirit of Prophecy newspaper, and one of
the heroes of the RaptureReady site. Yes, one more of those.
The stuff he promotes is thus the expected ravings, but
among his more personal touches is the promotion of The Hallelujah Diet®, consisting
mainly of raw fruits and vegetables, as well as Barleygreen, a natural barley
grass. After all, it cured him! At one point in his life, Pack apparently suffered from a delibitating disease
that conventional medicine was unable to stop, and enter the Hallelujah Diet
(®). As a result of his experiences, Pack founded the website Be In Health to
provide answers to questions about his medical problems and their cure (biographer
Nicole Balnius interestingly calls him “Dr. Pack” when talking about the
promotion of woo – Pack has diploma in divinity), as well as questions about a
host of other people whose physical ailments have been helped by diet,
nutrition, and the use of natural products.
Aside from promoting “natural” treatments, Pack preaches
about endtimes, hell and the end of the world – indeed, the “end-time events could happen within the span of the calendar hanging on your wall.”
Diagnosis:
There is always something fascinating with interdisciplinary cranks, but apart from
that Pack is probably pretty harmless.
