Here is your chance to put the "the world's foremost authority on prophecy" and the COG's "most highly regarded biblical scholar" on the hot seat. It seems that Prophet Thiel is on a cyber book tour on various internet sites. Contact the sites and have them ask him some hard questions, or let them know how absurd his prophecies are.
Notice Prophet Thiel's book cover where he says he "discovered" all the truth behind these prophecies. Kind of reminds me of HWA who claimed to have "discovered" the "truth" after it was lost by some weak god for 1,900 years.
Here is the schedule of sites he has posted for his "tour."

Reading the bio on the Prophet sounds like something that self aggrandizing Davie Pack would do.
"Highly regarded?" By whom? Church of God members? Living Church of God? Masters and Ph.D? In religion? Prophet Thiel sounds like he was educated in Packatolla University for Narcissism.Bob Thiel, Ph.D., is a highly regarded researcher, biblical scholar, and one of the world's foremost authorities on end time prophecies. He holds a Bachelor's degree from the University of LaVerne, a Master's degree from the University of Southern California, and a Ph.D. from the Union Institute and University. Throughout his academic and professional career, he has studied philosophy, religion, science, and prophecy, while making multiple research trips to ancient sites in Central America, Asia Minor, Rome, and Greece. Dr. Thiel has been a guest on countless radio programs nationwide, and is Examiner.com's Los Angeles religious history and prophecy correspondent. His articles on prophecy, religion and science have appeared in several dozen magazines, newspapers, trade publications, and scientific journals. His videocasts are seen weekly on YouTube and to the hundreds of thousands of visitors to his site, COGwriter.
Christian ministries around the world have never heard of the guy. Even Living Church of God members don't like him and see his silly writings as irrelevant fluff.

I take it back.
I will resume calling him Booby Thiel, The god of Libel.
I hope someone points out his unhealthy stalking of Baron Karl zu Guttenberg on one or more of his vitual book tours.
What a bunch of narcissistic drivel.
Let's see, Robert Thiel is (in no particular order):
1. a chiropractor/naturopath
2. Rod Meredith apologist
3. self proclaimed "world's foremost authority on Bible prophecy"
4. self proclaimed expert/author on 2012 prophecies
5. Examiner.com Los Angeles Bible prophecy and history expert
6. Holder of Ph.D. degree from what many consider a diploma mill
I'm getting tired of listing this stuff but I think you get the picture.
He's highly regarded by himself.
Booby on a virtual tour, commending his virtual worth.
Lenny and Squiggy or Beavis and Butthead certainly come to mind.
Thiel is certainly no Lester Grabbe, or Anthony Buzzard.

A Single Country Gal and WHAT?!?!
Not quite on the level of C-SPAN's Book Club or The New York Times. Not when she endorses "Christmas specials" at the bottom of her main page.
But hey, 2012 still has 11 months to go. :-)
