Make Your Bed on the Sabbath
False Prophet Ronald Weinland was in Bowling Green yesterday, on the way back from Nashville where he was getting one of his toys adjusted. Since the feast of 2007, Ron has had a satellite Internet terminal which he can use to deliver sermons. He played with it a bit on his Total Resolve Mediterranean Cruise right after the 2007 FoT.
Satellite Internet doesn’t come cheap — the entry plan is $40/month and bandwidth charges are $6.49 per MB on top of that. With a sermon MP3 running about 20 MB, do the math. And that’s on top of paying for the equipment. But it may be worth the price in order to be able to continue shepherding sheriffing his flock even when on the run.
Indications are that the sheep are restless. Ronnie is complaining that a spirit of Laodicea is settling in among the new people. He urged them to “fight for the truth” and not give up after only a few months of unfulfilled prophecy. Many of his recent recruits are younger people attracted by the keywords Ron uses in his Google ads. This is the demographic Ron needs to cater to, in order to continue to pay his retirement costs into his old age. He’s already mined those in “the scattering” who gave all they had to secure a slot among the 144,000.
Ron mentioned one young person who was lost as a recruit. It seems there is a relaxation of the policy where all questions from potential recruits are referred to the website up until the recruit pays tithes and promises that they are keeping the sabbath. Laura is getting involved, trying to bring some of the younger ones along.
Ron referred to his revelation of the 50th “truth” in June of last year. There were repercussions to Ron for having announced the failure of his first timeline but leaving the announcement of the 50th truth as a teaser for the Feast of Trumpets. There was murmuring and even wrath among his followers immediately following, which led Ron to reveal the 50th “truth” as soon as possible — the following Saturday. Of course people could simply have read my blog where I announced the 50th “truth” the same day Ron indicated there was one.
Even though certain chores such as yard work and vacuuming are not performed on the sabbath, we are to make our bed on the sabbath. I’d be in trouble because I never make my bed. On the other hand according to a story I’ve heard, Ron will make his side of the bed if he gets up before Laura. Not a story I could or would verify, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
Moses Znaimer has an answer to Ron’s diatribe up on his ideaCity website. Dill Weed broke the story with a post on his blog. Ron is not inclined to accept Moses’ offer to continue the communication. Moses passed on responding to Ron’s veiled threat of spiritual wrath, even though he’s probably unaware that it’s been 34 weeks since Ron issued his death curse against me. Moses, given the effectiveness of Ron’s curses, you’ll probably live to host the 50th ideaCity.

Ron probably makes his side of the bed because he is s-o-o humble. It gets him in the right frame of mind for the rest of the day.
I can’t make my bed when I first get up. I usually awaken to Dill Weed, Jr. purring insistently and that can only mean one thing. Breakfast, NOW! I’ve tried making my bed first. The scratches took a week to heal up. Uh-oh, here he comes. (switches to another page) Shew!
Dill Weed, Jr. is not all that bad; once he gets fed he is pretty harmless, in fact.
I thought Ron associating ‘the need to fight for this life’ with the anger over the 50th truth was preparation for a change. But, Ron said we were over 3 years in and that he had completed 6 of the 7 Feast sermons, with the LGD remaining.
He speaky out both sides of his mouth?
Dill Weed, Jr. is reminding me it is time for Sunday brunch. Time to open a can of tuna.

“Ron probably makes his side of the bed because he is s-o-o humble.”
Do you recall HWA statement in his autobiography where he said that each morning he would get up first, so he could comb his hair and dress out of respect for his wife? This was one of HWA ideas about how one should treat a woman. Once again, in Weinland’s mind, making his side of the bed shows respect for his wife. Considering his lack of hair, he decided that he would do the next best thing. Weinland got this idea from HWA and it does show how much he is in love with his idol and how he desires to be like him.
To read Ron’s letter to Moses, and then Moses’ reply (which was polite, courteous, and yet to the point) it just shows the contrast between the two, and really shines the light on Ron as being a nutcase.
To me, Ron would be wise to not be inclined to accept Moses’ offer to continue the communication.
Anything more, such as a further defence of his position, would just make Ron look all the more goofy.
Also, I wouldn’t think that God is too happy with Ron, having provided this opportunity to “begin to be recognized”, and then Ron throwing it all away because he can’t handle someone poking fun at it. A self-defeating character flaw for a true Prophet.
Little by little, his world is imploding. I doubt we will see a dramatic end to his “ministry”, but a trickling away of members. I love hearing him talk about people defecting.
I don’t know how much appetite people will have for him to be their spiritual leader outside of his brazen predictions. The Internet crowd won’t stick around long. The former WCG hardliners will be the last to go.
“The Internet crowd won’t stick around long. The former WCG hardliners will be the last to go.”
Ain’t it the truth?
The google add campaign (and all the huge amounts of money it takes up?) brings in the young who want action according to the google adds that brought them to Ron’s site in the first place… but nothing is happening. Weekly dull sermans with comments about “bed making” etc… without the Big Show daily destruction and Revelation of God Almighty!
We’re 20% into the 2nd 42 month Great Tribulation Timeline and nothing is happening.
Must be hard on the young new comer no doubt…
The tried and true WCG harliners will stay for the whole ride, regardless of how boring it becomes, out of superiority complexes & flat out fear.
But how can Ron gain more income from the, as Mike already states “Mined out” old crew. Ron needs cash my friends to fund his super expensive internet ministry and publishing all those books for free… well they ain’t free and I can only wonder how many are actually being printed these days as they are out of date?
I can understand Rons delemma, the young & new want action on the stage as the curtain has gone up but Ron is loathe to give such due to being wrong so often… But at the same time Ron needs the cash.
What to do? Give more prophecy and be wrong or give no prophecy and loose cash?
One time, I threw the paper towels I had dried my hands off with towards the trash bin but I missed and I just left them there.
I just had to get that off my chest. My only wish is to have seen Ron going in after me.
Is that wrong? : /
