False Prophet Ronald Weinland has made it clear that he will not wear clothes made of actual sackcloth during his term as an end-time witness, but instead will be wearing the Sackcloth of Humility (it's spiritual).

The usual picture that comes to mind of a person claiming to be an end-time witness is of a nut such as Yisrayl Hawkins who has a compound near Abilene, TX with trailers filled with supplies to survive the Great Tribulation and blathers on about the "nukular baby".

On the other hand Ron Weinland has a much more mainstream appearance and is more articulate in interviews.  The picture of him on his website shows him wearing a normal suit not made of sackcloth.  Weinland has a home to match that image  -- definitely not one invoking sackcloth.

Spokesman Witness Ron and Silent Witness Laura Weinland live in a home in an exclusive suburb in the greater Cincinnati area.  This suburb is also home to rearprofessional football players.  Weinland's home was valued at $381,000 when he bought it.   

Of interest is the green vegetation around Weinland's property in this picture taken in mid-July 2008 made available to Don't Drink the Flavor Aid.  Guess that it wasn't included in the 1/3rd of vegetation destroyed by the First Trumpet.  Oops, wait.  The timeline was reset and the First Trumpet won't be re-blown until December 14.  Wonder if we'll hear it this time.

 

Weinland has claimed that he was cashing out his equity in his home to help fund his media blitz using Google Adwords.  Since an audit of the church finances is not available, this claim should be viewed with a great deal of skepticism.  But even if true it indicates a lack of total resolve.  Ron and Laura should have sold the house and moved to an apartment.  If the cost of upkeep is not more than $4000/month it has to be close when you consider the principal and interest on a loan of that amount together with the property taxes and insurance and probably homeowners association dues.

With the question being whether Ron the Rebooter is drinking his own Flavor Aid or just handing it out, this suggests that he is just handing it out.  As indicated by his lack of total resolve and willingness to move to a cheaper dwelling instead of staying in this nice home.

To the False Prophet:  Before you get all "stirred up" about my publishing  pictures of your house, remember that you published directions to it when you hosted a reception for Jeremy.  Note that the directions are not reproduced here -- that's not the point of this post.
