“Reminds me of another cult leader, in which the opinion is that he is a psychopath. Very possible Ron might be in that camp.”

Nah. If he was, something untoward would have happened, after the first timeline failed, April 17th, 2008. As it is, we’re over two years past THAT failed “start of the great tribulation”, and PKG members are still being exhorted to “stay, pray, pay, and obey all that I say”; especially in light of Weinland’s promise to stop preaching if, by June 8, 2008, there was not great destruction and death…by his own words, he may be “insane”, but I maintain the man is crazy like a fox. If he did believe everything he said, there would have clearly been a crisis of conscience reached, when the first timeline failed, and his prophecies were proven to be false.

As it is, just like his mentor Armstrong, Weinland keeps on tickin’.

Yep, some wayward minsters out thier have the guts to stand up, even through they are quite crazy, and keep to thier word regardless of earthly cost.
But this is not Ron Weinland. Ron has enough backbone to condemn people from a distance, brow beat his indoctrinated flock in person, and spew forth a pack of lies from the safety of a hotel room onto the net but that is about it.
Ron used to be, IMO, very delusional as his books and serman’s revealed as he did not know how to con people correctly and said thinks that would come back to bedevil himself, “Three Weeks” ring a bell?
But his is a Con Man in training and he has indeed learned. His delusion lives on but plays second fiddle now to his Con-Artist life. Note that he does not make anymore obvious self trapping statements like he used to. He does not mention these old problems or all the people he is afraid of or all the failures of his book etc… He just avoids the whole thing, and this is a good move for a Con-Artists.
But as Con-Men go Ron is mediocre at his best and pathetic at worst. He has such a long way to go to make the profession proud. But he does live good and has a 300 +/- hooked crowd to support him.

I firmly think that Ron has not a shred of self sacrifice in him at the moment. He would have to self sacrafice big to make his physical death in the J-Town come true, as well as take out his wife.
Ron is Con now, learning the trade for a better retirement. He would have to make a simply huge about face when he gets closer to the end of his timeline 2.1 & become very delusional indeed.
But it has happened before… the wife would not like it at all me things, diamond rings don’t make an impact upon a dead person lying in the streets.

Go figure?

“Give you life up for your belief in Gods? How would that further the Con?”

Reminds me of another cult leader, in which the opinion is that he is a psychopath. Very possible Ron might be in that camp. Some people don’t allow their conscious to steer them into right actions.

As Becker noted: “The church of gods has supplied an endless supply of rotting garbage for decades now, and soon, before we know it, a century will have gone by–waste in every sense of the word.”

And the time is coming that RW’s little circus of horrors, with all the excrement it has produced, will also come to its end. His books will fallow at the dollar store with no takers in sight.

Exactly right as his foray into Canada prooved… ran away from a comedian. A comedian? Ran out of the buidling, the city, the state and the country. We are talking “RAN” far away so as to not come into conflict with a “comedian”.
Brave enough to be dangerous? You make the call.

But could Ron and the miss’s manage, if delusional enough, to pull thier own cork in J-Town 2 years from now?
For everyone deciding that they are con artists the answer is obvious. For those wondering how delusional he and the little, diamond ring ladden, lady are the answer is up in the air. Stranger things have happened…
But I for one believe Ron is way to much of a coward for such an act and in fact is way to much the Con-Man to ever contemplate it. Give you life up for your belief in Gods? How would that further the Con?

Go figure?

Ron claimed in December of 2008 that he was bringing his Swiss funds back. With the IRS hot on his tail and his mentioning of the Swiss account during a 2008 FoT sermon, I see that a legal maneuver to try to control the damage. As was his recent release of the December 2002 sermon.

Re: Ron’s ‘why people leave’ – he refuses to acknowledge that people are leaving because events are not happening all around as predicted

Did I hear Ron say that they put money in Switzerland and then brought it back out again?

Ronald – give it up – you are having trouble keeping your story straight – that the thing about truth – it just is, so it is easy to recall –
To be a good liar, you have to be able to remember your lies – You are so wound up in the lies, you can’t keep them all straight

Better to be poor and wise than an old foolish false prophet who no longer knows how to take warning that the day will come that his wealth, possessions and honor will be but part of a memory as he spends his last days in jail instead of an asylum. And that day WILL come.
