Yes, he is as stupid as he looks.
According to Weinland, in a few days 63,000 baptized COGers from around the world will be reunited into ONE body (Weinland's cult, obviously!)
The good news is that God is going to reunite His Church into a single organized body once again. It will begin to happen in only a couple of days and the potential number of previously baptized members (before the apostasy in 1994) that God is going to grant this opportunity to is 63,000…
I can grantee you right now that 63,000 COGers will NEVER join up with Weinland. Weinland seems to think he is as spiritual important as Dave Pack. I can also tell you that 63,000 COGers will never join up with Pack.
Having said all this, as it has been said so many times before over the past 14 years, we have now come to the end and Jesus Christ is now going to return on May 27th. This event will catch the whole world off guard—even the Church that was scattered. But it will afford a great opportunity to 63,000 baptized people who were scattered after the apostasy to once again be reunited as God’s Church into a single organized body and to be given opportunity to live on into the new millennial age of Christ’s rule on earth.
Who in their right mind would allow themselves to be subjected to the governmental abuse that the Church of God is known for? Why would anyone want to place themselves under the feet of these despots again?
Apparently this fool thinks nuclear war will break out on Sunday afternoon.
It will be the same right up until nuclear weapons begin to be used on the earth. An automatic response of nations will spark immediate retaliation to real or imagined enemies. Such events will be so rapid and have the potential of being so devastating that God must quickly intervene by stopping it as He sends His Son back to this earth to become King of kings…
Ron Weinland will be too busy on Saturday to preach to this faithless flock so he is preparing a prerecorded sermon to be played. I guess he doesn't want to be pelted by rotten tomatoes as he preaches.
What are the people in Ron's cult going to do as they listen to his sermon and then nothing happens on Sunday? Will they start making excuses like Harold Camping's people did initially? I can guarantee that Ron will be ready on Monday morning with all kinds of lies and filth explains away his failed prophecy. A few fools will believe him and continue to support him. Hopefully the majority of his members will open their eyes and walk away from his filth.

This sounds like an ideal setup for a Jim Jones situation. A mass suicide where they have left the body and gone to be with Lord when He returns.

The problem all these nutjobs have is the same: God does not do what people say.
Thank God.
Not knowing the mental stability of those expecting Christ to return on May 27, perhaps I should not have related this to having the potential of a Jim Jones experience. I noticed two statements that were attributed to Weinland, which could be an indication that drastic measures could be used to support these statements.
“It is the story contained in Revelation about God sending His two end-time witnesses (and prophets) who would lead His Church up to the very moment of Christ’s coming. We are NOW there! The job of God’s two witnesses is nearly complete.”
“events will be so rapid and have the potential of being so devastating” (just prior to Christ’s return)
“As a final posting I am also informing all readers that a final prerecorded sermon will be posted on the Church site that can be used this Sabbath.”
It may seem that death prior to these events would be justified since they would be resurrected in a day or two. I know that sounds like something only a crazy person would do, but need I say more.

I thought Weinland had told his flock to stay home on Pentecost. If they are scattered, they won't be able to commit mass suicide. That's at least a small bit of encouraging news.
Does Ron still have money in a Swiss bank account? Can he flee the country to claim it next week?
Ron's Royal Nightmare is about to begin. Either his deluded mind is going to be sorely disappointed and embarassed, or he will flee the country to his retirement home and alternate identity bank account.
I'm betting a warrant for fail to appear will be issued. And a little bird might tell the FBI where he is living.
Impossible: Not the true church.
We've proved it.
I wouldn't be surprised if next week Ron starts to get creative. Instead of admitting he was wrong about the Great Tribulation, he just pretended that it was happening except it was really hard to tell. It was just a really subtle Great Tribulation.
I wouldn't be surprised if he does the same thing with the Day of the Lord and then christ's Millenial rule.
Maybe he'll say christ did return on Sunday-in spirit. Or perhaps he'll say christ came, but then he left again. He told me to tell all of mankind BRB. What about, christ came and we're in the millenium now, but he was merciful, and decided not to kill anyone but instead to let everyone in. Isn't it great? It's just a really subtle Millenium.
I know who'll be ready come Monday week--and they won't be coming except to end Weinland's world! Sing with me now everybody: "The countdown's getting closer every day!" :-)
Right now the men in navy blue suits from the IRS and the men in white coats from the institution ought to be in a dead heat to take him away.
If he's lucky he'll get a lawyer who is competent who will enter a plea of insanity on his behalf. There is tons of evidence that he really really is.
If he isn't lucky, he'll represent himself and wind up in a beautiful relationship with a man named bubba.
In either case, the rest of the world will be lucky.
Somehow, I knew years ago that it would all come down to this. When you have people whose entire lives have been co-opted by delusional false teachers, there is going to be a train wreck, or even multiple train wrecks. The minds of some have been rendered completely incapable of facing the fact that first their "apostle", then his students were all dead wrong!
I never could understand how anyone could have "come into the church" after 1972-75. But, I'm sure there were those who couldn't fathom how anyone such as my parents could have come into it when Germany failed to take WWII into Armageddon.
Sadly, this Weinland meltdown is just the beginning. Armstrongism has broken quite a number of peoples' minds!

MY COMMENT - Good point Byker. However, in an era before the internet and the information age, many people who came into the Radio Church of God in the 1950s and 1960s were completely unaware of HWAs earlier failed end time predictions arising out of World War II.
