Odds & Ends

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

Last week was pretty active on this blog with both False Prophet Ronald Weinland and his most public critic (yours truly) both having media interviews, followed by exposure of at least one and possibly two false very-hour claims by the Insane Lying False Prophet.

On the legal front, the two sides have traded motions, with Weinland’s talented legal team filing a motion for the government to maintain and make available as discovery the original notes from investigatory interviews of Weinland and others.  The government responded by providing the notes of the two IRS Special Agents from their confrontation with Ron and Laura on July 2, 2008.  (This was on a Wednesday, and in the following Saturday’s sermon Ron talked about “that being” (Satan) being stirred up as the result of his having given the 50th truth sermon, but wouldn’t get into specifics.  Now we know).  As far as interviews of other people, the government has refused to provide any memorandum as discovery since under the federal law and rules of evidence they don’t have to provide this information unless and until a particular witness testifies (that would be testifying with actual words, Laura) in court.

Back to the media front:  In Ronnie’s latest blog posting, he writes:

But with our recent advertising, as of today, I have only had a request for three interviews, one of which I turned down because of the attitude of the producer and host at WGN in Chicago (assuredly, one of the first in the Church that was scattered to ever turn down WGN).

As it turns out, I had a hand in the WGN episode.  Since Ron has had 4 interviews with talk show host Mike McConnell when he was on WLW in Cincinnati, I thought they both might like to have a fifth interview.  I contacted Mike’s producer in December and pointed out Ron’s ad.  Mike’s producer was interested and wanted to have him on the program that day (a Thursday).  Ron gave Mike’s producer the brush off saying he couldn’t do it that day.  So the manifestation of the host’s (Mike McConnell’s) attitude would have been at the time of the last interview, nearly 3 years ago.

Now, although I am Ron’s critic, I am not a stalker and didn’t do this to stir things up.  Three weeks after putting out the ad and no interviews, was curious as to what he’d have to say. I thought that Ron might really want the publicity and would be comfortable dealing with Mike McConnell.  But I have a feeling that Ron knows that the other Mike also has his number by now.  Best to have your interview on a secondary market station with a host who never heard of you and your past failed prophecies so you’d have a recording to post as a sign to your deluded followers.  Who instead of asking you about other failed prophecies, would have asked you about your own.

And who knows, might have even been aware of you mixing up your own signs, saying the first trumpet blew in November of 2008 instead of December of 2008, and that the first trumpet is the economy instead exactly one-third of all plant life.  And that you predicted “nukular” explosions in US port cities 45-90 days after the blowing of the first trumpet, then changed it to within a year from March of 2009, and immediately waffled saying that God might give a little more time.

I wonder what happened to the third request that he didn’t characterize?

In Ron’s posting last week he said:

As a matter of other dates that God revealed to me, through Jesus Christ, it was given earlier that Trumpets of 2008 was the beginning of the 1335 day count in the Book of Daniel that leads up to the return of Jesus Christ on May 27, 2012.

I wonder if this was the same God who gave him the first timeline?  Has God explained why we don’t have jack-booted German soldiers marching down our streets, now less than 5 months before Pentecost?  And when this timeline fails, will he find a third God to give him yet another timeline?

I leave you with a few points from someone who was a minister for Herbert Armstrong before Weinland but who isn’t competing with Ron for followers:

  • Please do not let Ron Weinland chide you for your lack of faith in his opinions.
  • Please understand that the way he sees and filters the Bible through his brain is his opinion.
  • Please understand that if you are to ‘prove all things’ then you have no proof that Ron is in touch with God nor God with him in any real way that can be proven.
  • Please realize that any real God is not out to trick or deceive you and that these theological disasters in the making is merely due to the lack of wisdom and common sense of your pastor.
  • Please give if you must.  If that is where your treasure is then let your heart follow, but please use your own common sense and provide for yourself and your own “just in case.”  Just in case is not a sin.  It is being responsible.  You know…’if a man provides not for his own household he is less than an infidel..” or something like that.
  • Learn to say directly to Mr. Weinland, should the need arise, “please mind your own business on how I perceive my family responsibilities should this really be the end of the age or really not.”
  • Please find a way to disconnect the ring in your nose that Ron has the lead firmly attached to.  Follow if you must but follow on your own terms.  Ron can never prove to you that his ways alone are God’s ways or that your caution is unbiblical or a total lack of faith.  Remember, Ron is actually asking you to have faith in him while he makes it sound like you are denying your faith in God.  Apples and oranges…

Seventy Weeks Prophecy

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

In this morning’s posting, I commented on how False Prophet Ronald Weinland had not conducted an interview since advertising his availability for one at the beginning of December.  Turns out that he has just done so along with a post on his blog republished below for your comment.

I listened to Ron on the way home from work, about a 40 minute program.  He dodged the question as to why we should listen to him given all the false prophets who have preceded.  If the interviewer had been familiar with Ron he could have asked about all of Ron‘s false prophecies that have preceded.

I’m still scheduled to be on the God Discussion pod cast show.  Here is an updated link to tonight’s program with some additional info:

There is a web-based chat room that appears automatically, also, and it tends to be a hoot.

When it is live, the page notes that it is ON AIR and it will play from your computer speakers (you might have to press a button — BlogTalk keeps updating but generally, the show automatically plays).  About 10-60 minutes after the podcast concludes, it is available for download as an MP3 from BlogTalk and shortly thereafter, is available on iTunes.”

I’m scheduled to be on in the second hour (7 PM Pacific / 10 PM Eastern)

————Here’s a repost of Ron’s posting: ———————————————

This post is being written to address the Seventy Weeks Prophecy in Daniel and to inform everyone of a newly posted interview that I gave on a station in Cambridge, Maryland, today. It was on the station, WCEM 1240 AM, with the host, Cleveland Rippons.

At the end of last year, we ran an advertisement about the book, 2008 – God’s Final Witness, and myself, as the author, being available for interviews if any in such media markets were interested in the subject matter. What has transpired is very reflective of the time we are currently experiencing. To me, this is so very reminiscent of what the Church experienced at the time of the apostasy in 1994. The Church had grown complacent and lethargic concerning the many warnings of what was looming. (more…)

The Last “Day” / The Final Half-a-Time

Saturday, January 7th, 2012

This post is being published 25 minutes before sundown in Jerusalem on January 7, 2012 (which is 9:50 AM EST).  Sundown in Jerusalem is exactly 140 godly days or 20 weeks before the time False Prophet Ronald Weinland has scheduled his bro’ Jesus Christ to appear in the skies of Jerusalem and resurrect him and the Silent Witness from the streets of Jerusalem. So you are probably reading this during the last, final Half-a-Time.

It’s also the end of this period, as defined by Rotten Ronnie in his blog posting dated April 1, 2011:

Tomorrow {April 2, 2011} is the beginning of a new period of time for this end-time. It is a “time” of 40 weeks in the “complete judgment” to be executed upon the scattered nations of Israel and upon the Israel of God (the Church) that was scattered. The whole world will suffer during this period, but the focus is upon both physical and spiritual Israel.

In the past, I have not had the need to write much in the postings on this site. That will all begin to change as we are entering a new stage in time. The Thunders will increase in far greater magnitude and frequency and the first few Trumpets will sound with great devastation to follow.

……….

That is why such events must continue in magnitude and rapid succession, so that mankind will begin to fear and question, “Why are such things happening?” Only when people are brought face to face with death and massive destruction will some humble themselves before God and begin to seek His help and deliverance. Otherwise, people don’t seem to see the need for God’s help and deliverance in their lives.

 We are entering a momentous time. After two years of mercy, the United States will now begin to answer for ignoring God’s warnings. Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the continent of Western Europe are going to begin to answer right alongside the U.S.

So we’ve reached the end of this prophetic 40-week period of complete judgment on the scattered nations of Israel.  Did the Thunders increase in far greater magnitude and frequency during this period?  Did a few of the Trumpets sound?  Or even one of them?  Seems that instead we got another 40 weeks of God’s mercy.

We are within 5 prophetic months of Pentecost.  Are there any jack-booted German soldiers marching down your street?  Are they even mobilizing?  Is the pope organizing the beast power into the next Holy Roman Empire?  What is the pope doing these days?

I do have one prophecy.  I will lose Dill Weed’s Great End of the End contest as False Prophet Ronald Weinland will not make me the winner of the contest by admitting to his abject failures in today’s sermon. Instead of owning up to his mistakes, Ron will roll out more signs and lying wonders to distract the deluded from his vast shortcomings.  PKG members will march around Jericho for one more of Ronnie’s 140-day “days” and at the end we’ll see what falls down (if not before).

The above was the post I composed, mostly in advance, in honor of this prophetic event.  After completing it, Ronald Weinland posted a post on his own log in honor of it.  Haven’t had much time to look at it, so I’ve added it here so we can all look at it (and comment):

—— Ronnie’s Latest Posting ——————–

In times past, I remember Herbert W. Armstrong speaking of the importance of certain events concerning the Church that happened on January 7. This was especially true for the years of 1953 and 1972, as he covered in his “Personal” in the Tomorrow’s World magazine of February 1972.

January 7, 2012, is another important occurrence for the timing of God’s work and end-time events. This date is an important crossroad in time as it ends a prophetically historic portion of time in Daniel that consists of a prophetic measure of “time” and “times” that began after Trumpets of 2009.

January 8 of this year begins the final “half-a-time” of this full prophetic period known as “time, times, and half-a-time.” That day is the start of the final period of 140 days (half-a-time) that leads up to the very coming of the Messiah spoken of in those same prophecies of Daniel. This post will also address a newly revealed final fulfillment of the 70 weeks prophecy that has a dual fulfillment of both Christ’s first coming and his second coming.

The final “half-a-time” that begins January 8 will be the prophetic period when the Trumpets of Revelation will finally be heard (witnessed and seen) throughout this world, along with the Thunders of Revelation that will progressively escalate in a dramatic manner. The period of “time, times, and half-a-time” consists of seven segments of time (seven half-times). It can be likened to God’s plan covered in the weekly cycle of seven days and the 7,000 year plan where the last 1,000 years is when God takes control and gives mankind the ability to know His ways.

An End to 6,000 Years of Man’s Ways:
The period of a “time” and “times” described by Daniel is a final witness God is giving of mankind’s true response to Him throughout the past 6,000 years. This final “half-a-time” is the transition between the past 6,000 years and the final 1,000 years of God’s rule on earth. It is during this time of transition that people will begin to “see” the power of God revealed through physical events that destroy the system God calls Babylon (a system of confusion). Indeed, Babylon describes every way mankind has chosen, while fully rejecting God’s true ways.

God separated a segment of “time” that reflects the work of the Messiah over the past 2,000 years. Before Christ came to fulfill the role of our Passover, 4,000 years had passed. In reality, mankind has lived through a period of “time” and “times” (2,000 and 4,000 years) in God’s complete plan for 7,000 years. It is during the final “half-a-time” (1,000 years) that God will fully reveal His ways, truth, and power to all who will receive it. Through Christ (the Messiah), God will govern this world. We are entering the final transition from mankind’s self-rule to that of God’s rule.

The ways of mankind have been consistent for 6,000 years. Throughout this period, God’s ways have continually been resisted, misrepresented, mocked, slandered, and disobeyed. Mankind is filled with pride and finds it easy to either slant and twist God’s truth to fit his own ways (as in Judaism, Islam, and traditional Christianity) or to create his own religion (or none at all) that fully rejects any connection to the God of Abraham.

Except for the few through time whom God has chosen to work with and reveal Himself, the rest of mankind has fully rejected God. They will not listen and take seriously what God says. God has repeatedly declared how He has sent His prophets and servants into the world, but that none will listen.

The period of a “time” and “times” (ending on January 7th) that God set aside as a final witness of mankind has repeated the history of the first 6,000 years. During this time the hatred of people toward God’s servants and His Church has only magnified, and paralleling this has been a progressive increase in lethargy and complacency toward warnings that God has been giving. The world, and even the Church that was scattered after the apostasy, is more determined than ever to preserve its own way. The warnings of God that we are closing in on the final stages of the end-time are ignored, ridiculed, and treated with disdain.

Yes, God’s witness is so true and thankfully it is finally time to usher in the return of Jesus Christ to take control of the world and the Church that was scattered as King of kings and Lord of lords. It is time for Babylon to begin to crumble until it has been fully destroyed. In addition, the king of Babylon is coming to his end as his kingdom begins to crumble beneath him.

There is no more time for warnings, but for that which has already been written. There is no more time for mercy to be extended, as time has run out.

Seventy Weeks Prophecy:
The sermon given to God’s Church on January 7, 2012, that is entitled, “The Final Time,” reveals how God is precise in His timing for fulfilling prophetic events. The Almighty God who set the universe in motion with such precision and skillful work long ago spoke of this time now: “For I am the Eternal who speaks and the words that I speak shall come to pass. It will be no more prolonged, for in your days, Oh rebellious house, I will say the word and will perform it” (Ez. 12:25). God has spoken and now is the time that He will perform what He has said.

The seventy weeks prophecy about the Messiah (in the Book of Daniel) has been correctly understood by some as being very specific timing about the first coming of Christ. But what none have known is that this prophecy is also dual. It is about an exact number of days that will be fulfilled from the moment that the First Seal of Revelation was opened until the day that Jesus Christ returns (fully explained in the January 7 sermon). After 6,000 years of prideful human suffering, thank God that we are rapidly nearing that second coming!

Indictment (Weinland’s Story)

Saturday, November 26th, 2011

False Prophet Ronald Weinland promised during last week’s sermon a blog post addressing the indictment this week.  The following appeared this morning on his blog, and since it’s prior to this week’s sermon he’s not a liar (on this point).

Below is his post and also an opportunity for you to comment here, since he doesn’t allow comments on his blog.

—————————–   Weinland’s Post responding to the Indictment —————————————————–

November 26, 2011

This will be my response to the indictment concerning the accusation of using Church funds for personal use (beyond normal income), which in turn is being used to say I did not pay taxes upon those funds.

I’ve rewritten this posting several times, as this entire matter has been rather difficult for me to digest. I have been waiting to find out the full details of the indictment and it has been somewhat unsettling as it simply takes time to receive all the information that it is based upon. Although we have known that an investigation has been ongoing since mid 2008, it has all been rather difficult to understand why.

There really is no basis for this. This investigation that covers several years has been difficult to understand, especially in the light of the fact that we have never at any time received any civil notice from the IRS.{1} There has never been a request for an audit of which we would have fully cooperated,{7} as our desire has always been to do things correctly in filing our taxes.{2} The Church has a great team of lawyers and an investigator who are vigorously working to defend the Church and myself.{6}

As people tend to believe what they will, I’ve decided that a posting is not the forum to address the issues at hand, but to fully use our legal system and the courts to do so.

Laura and I understand that this is part of what we must face as part of the work we believe God has given us to do in this end-time. We will continue to do as we have ever since we became part of the ministry of God’s Church back in 1981. That makes over 30 years of serving in the ministry. Indeed, we have always sought to faithfully and zealously serve God and His Church. Our plans have not changed and we will continue as we do now by visiting the many congregations of the Church which are scattered throughout the U.S. and other countries.{8}

It is true that the Church maintained funds in Switzerland for several years, yet it is also true that this was fully disclosed to the Church before that account was ever opened (www.cog-pkg.org, Audio section of Dec. 28, 2002, entitled “Planning Ahead”).{3} As it was stated in that sermon, those funds were placed in my name, yet there was also another name on the account, as an additional representative (an evangelist) of the Church, who had full access and legal right to those Church funds at any time.{5}

Consequently, because of our belief that 2008 was the beginning of trouble for this world and what would eventually lead to a complete global economic collapse, we began investing several hundred thousand dollars in advertising in order to warn people of what was coming and what was happening even then. Those Church funds were all brought back to the United States and all used in that advertising.{4}

This posting also provides me with the opportunity to remind our readers of two important doctrines of the Church. One concerns tithing and government taxation, and the second concerns our teaching of what it means to be a “good citizen” in the country where one lives.

Concerning the first of those two doctrines I have referred, we adhere to a strong belief in tithing and giving of offerings as many other Christian churches and those in Judaism also believe. We deeply believe the instruction of Jesus Christ who said that we should pay to Caesar what is Caesar’s (taxation to be paid to government agencies) and to God what is God’s (tithes and offerings). Members are to be as zealous in being faithful to God in tithing as they are faithful to God in paying their taxes to whatever government is over them.

Concerning the second doctrine to which I have referred, you can read on the Church website what the Church teaches about being a “good citizen” in a country, especially as we draw nearer to the end of the final three and one-half years of this end-time.{9} This is stated in the FAQ section under the “Topics” and is entitled, “Citizenship in a nation.”

As the Church continues to remain faithful to God, God is faithful to lead us and fight our battles for us. Indeed, we look to God and His Son Jesus Christ to guide our way and always deliver us.

————————  End of Weinland’s Posting ——————————————-

A few points to contradict what Weinland claims, the number in italics within the braces{} refers to a flag embedded in the copy of the posting above:

  • {1} Weinland was given civil notice when the criminal investigation was underway that summonses were being issued for his financial records.  This was in July of 2008 and he filed a motion to quash the summonses
  • {2} Normal practice of the IRS and of the Justice Department is to allow a taxpayer conference at which time he could have raised these defenses.
  • {3} A tape of this sermon was not sent out shortly afterwards as was the normal practice of his for sermons at the time.  The sermon was not posted online on the PKG website until around March of last year (and discussed in May of last year on this blog).  The copy of the sermon you posted was not an original recording, and probably was obtained from a member who recorded themselves at the other end of a conference line.
  • {4} The funds were not repatriated from Switzerland to the US until December of 2008.  This was after the main push of Google advertising.  And was after the investigation started.  By bringing the funds back during 2008, he ended the possibility of being charged with breaking the law during 2009, which would have been another count on the indictment.
  • {5} I wonder if this other evangelist (probably Johnny Harrell) acknowledged this account when he filed his income taxes as required by law.
  • {6} Why does the church have a lawyer?  Was the church charged in the indictment?
  • {7} Would have cooperated? Fully?  The same way you cooperated with the investigation?  As in your civil motion to quash the summons in July of 2008?  As you did in the fall of 2009 in having your daughter Audra resist cooperating with the summonses on vague Fifth Amendment grounds?
  • {8} So how are you going to visit congregations in other countries with your passport held by probation authorities?
  • {9} Now, Ron you hedged on that a bit back in 2007 when you thought the end was nigh.  See the video below.

The defense that Weinland raises is pretty much along the lines I expected.  But the IRS and Justice Department are not stupid people — I expect that they’ve considered these arguments already and have discounted them.  But Ron will have opportunity to raise them in open court.  Let’s see if he does that, or pleads out.

Now is your opportunity to comment.

Time is Running Out

Tuesday, November 8th, 2011

Yet another post today on False Prophet Ronald Weinland’s blog, captured here for your convenience and commenting.

—– Ronnie’s latest —————————

God clearly and mightily foretold the outcome of our time right now. In the midst of these end-time prophecies, He foretold of a condition that would engulf the United States and her closest allies, and He foretold of this same condition concerning His Church that was scattered. It concerns the spiritual condition of being in deep sleep in this final period of the end-time.

Economic Collapse Now on the Doorstep

Real Fear is Now On the Horizon

Monday, August 8th, 2011

A new post appeared yesterday on Ronnie’s personal blog.  As usual, I repost it for when he deletes it and to allow commenting.

————————————— Ronnie’s blathering ————–

This past week the word “fear” was used extensively in the news. There was investor fear, fear gripping Wall Street, debt fear among nations, fear about a struggling European economy, and even fear of war.

Real fear has not yet struck, but it is now on the horizon. Strong warnings are sounding out with increasing intensity. However, the basic nature of man and woman is to bury fear—to “bury ones head in the sand,” hoping that when they look out once again that things will be better. We have arrived at a time when things are not going to get better, but instead are going to spiral downward with accelerating intensity.

The world is starting to come to the realization, although rather slowly, that the United States cannot resolve its financial crisis. Other nations are beginning to see that the U.S. does not have the will or means to change. It is for this reason that governments will move more rapidly toward “other” means to protect their interests—by moving themselves farther away from reliance on American stability and prosperity. Both stability and prosperity are increasingly being seen as a thing of the past—an era in decline.

You are witnessing the final events that are rapidly plunging the world into real fear, as a complete global economic meltdown finally strikes. It is now accelerating. Nations are just beginning to become aware of that inevitable reality. It is for this very reason that world war will also quickly follow a global economic meltdown. War is the only “means” through which this world can deal with such crisis within their own nations. This is the real history of man and of war!

Trumpets and the Fifth Thunder

Friday, May 20th, 2011

False Prophet Ronald Weinland has a new post on his blog.  He doesn’t mention the rapture scheduled for tomorrow evening at 6 PM your local time.  Which means that when we in the US wake up tomorrow morning we should hear about rapture events in New Zealand and Australia.  Maybe he’ll mention it in the sermon tomorrow and PKG members will think themselves smart for not following a false prophet.

Ron doesn’t allow comments on his blog, but I do.  His post repeated below for posterity and your convenience:

—————————  Ronnie’s Latest —————————————–

After this Sabbath, in only three weeks God’s Church will be observing the third annual Sabbath of this year, Pentecost (also called the Feast of Weeks and Feast of Firstfruits). It will be the last Pentecost to be observed in man’s age (the time allotted in God’s plan for mankind to govern himself).

Then, May 27th of 2012, will be “the Pentecost” that ushers in the greater fulfillment of what this Holy Day has always foreshadowed. In Moses’ time, the codified law of the Ten Commandments was given to the Israelites on the day of Pentecost. A little over 1,500 years later God began to pour out His spirit upon His Church that He established on that same day. Both of these events were a partial fulfillment of what Pentecost has always foreshadowed in God’s plan of salvation.

God has given great witness to mankind that His law cannot be lived without His help through the power of His spirit dwelling in mankind, all of which is contained in the foreshadowing of Pentecost’s purpose and meaning.

The next great step in the fulfillment of Pentecost is only a little over a year away when Jesus Christ will come as King of kings to rule over this earth. Jesus Christ is called the first of the firstfruits, but at his return there will be the 144,000 with him, those who are resurrected as the greater portion and the complete number of firstfruits (fully of mankind) of God’s Family and of His Kingdom that will rule with Christ.

The Scattered of the Worldwide Church of God

How can something so extraordinary and of such magnitude happen in only a little over a year from now, when so many end-time prophecies are yet to be fulfilled? It would seem totally incredulous to most people who were once part of the Worldwide Church of God before its scattering (for any who still hold to some belief of an end-time), that such an event could possibly happen in such a time-frame.
