Mocking Weinland
Saturday, April 3rd, 2010False Prophet Ronald Weinland spoke today in Melbourne, Australia. Actually he spoke twice, as the recording for the first delivery was lost, so he got to redeliver it in a hotel room by himself. Has Laura gone back to cowering in the bathtub, or was she out schmoozing the flock? He mentioned getting some technical help connecting to the Internet to stream the sermon, help which ended up going awry. I wonder if the latest technical help also came from Jonathan Baillie who contributed to the dropouts in the recording of the 2008 Last Great Day sermon.
Ron cautioned that associate elders are not to counsel. People are to contact the elder in their region, who likely will refer the question to the FAQ section on the PKG website. Anecdotal information that has reached me indicates that this has always been the prevalent practice.
I’ve recently been sparring with Aaron Robinson, a wordy person who types a lot but doesn’t say much. He is yet another Weinland follower who is not a PKG member yet presumes to speak for Weinland. I found this statement of his to be interesting:
When Mr. Weinland addresses his mockers, what he doesn’t do is make fun of them all over the place, and ridicule them, and just plain mocking them as like he is imitating somebody behind their back.
In today’s sermon, at 41 minutes in the version which includes the announcements, Ron discussed the pharisees trying to find fault with Jesus, made the following statements:
You know, we have people listening to the sermons week after week, just to find fault. They just can’t wait, they don’t get it, they don’t understand what God is giving. But they just see human beings and they hate it. They do just truly are stirred up and hate what they’re hearing.
And I think “Get a life!!! Why put yourself through that misery, if you hate it so much? If you hate me, if you hate what you’re hearing so much.”
But it’s just like the pharisees here, they were going to lose something, because if they’re wrong. So they’ve got to fight against it, to prove themselves right, to be right. Incredible, the mind of human beings. And so people that just try to find something that they can say that this is wrong. This is bad, see he’s wrong again. He’s wrong about this. And they can’t wait to write about it, or tell others, or blog about it. Because they just want to “bla bla bla” because they think that they’re so right. And they just don’t get it. They just have total inability to see. Sad.
Aaron, I wonder if you really listen to the sermons? Can you hear the mocking tone that Weinland uses to address his critics? (And this is not the first time he’s done this.) I expect that you probably don’t have ears to hear and will claim he wasn’t mocking. Or you’ll just come up with a rambling explanation about how that’s OK, even though you said he doesn’t do that.
Ron had a similar riff earlier in the sermon, about 25 minutes into the current version of the recording. Speaking of Jesus:
.. and people who are trying to find fault, and they were constantly trying to find fault. We’re very accustomed to that.
You know people continually trying to find fault, trying to find something that’s said that they can find fault with. That they can twist and distort, and they think they have a heyday. Things that are written in the books, that they think that they have absolute understanding of. They believe that certain things haven’t happened and they don’t get it.
They don’t understand the fast that took place. They don’t understand God’s will and why God has done things the way he has. They don’t understand the 50th truth. They don’t appreciate, they don’t like those things. And so they say, it’s like “nyah, nyah, nyah, we know” So they’re just like little kids, playing games. And they don’t understand, they don’t see God. And you can’t give that to them.
But I do understand. I understand that the 2-day fast was a ploy. PKG was instructed to pray for death and destruction so people would be humbled and repent so God could show mercy. If you don’t believe me, listen to the sermon of Jan 31, 2009. When none of the death, destruction, humbling, and repenting materialized, Ron then characterized it as God showing mercy, no mention of the lack of people being humbled and repenting.
And I do understand the 50th “truth”. It was a desperate ploy, showing signs and lying wonders so that Ron could hang on to his flock and make them forget his promise to quit preaching if the 1st and 2nd trumpets weren’t powerfully and abundantly clear by July of 2008. At first PKG was to wait until Trumpets of 2008, but Ron quickly determined that PKG wouldn’t wait and had to deliver the sermon the following Saturday, 3 months ahead of schedule.
During the sermon, Ron went mentioned Jesus’ admonition to “pay unto Cesar that which is Cesar’s”. Also stated that those who don’t pay their taxes are crackpots. I expect that we’ll soon be finding out whether the IRS has determined Ron to be a crackpot by his own definition.
It seems that Ron’s allergies are getting more severe. In the past Ron has instructed that visitors to Cincinnati should not wear perfumes and colognes because of sensitive people there. Now he is instructing that people should not wear them when he comes visiting. I wonder if someone were to attempt to do in the end-time Witness by throwing perfume on him, would he be drowned in a vat of perfume? (… he must in this manner be killed)?
Aaron, before you try to paint this as a death threat by me on Weinland — no it isn’t.
