Ron Weinland: "My Work Is Nearly Complete"



Armstrongism has had a long history of men who think they have an inside channel to God's master plan.  Over the decades they have run off at the mouth with some incredibly STUPID things.  Such as these lies from Dale Schurter, Herman Hoeh, Rod Meredith, and Herbert Armstrong:

4) 1964 Coworkers letter: "only 7 years before H-bomb warfare breaks out"
5) May 1965 PT: "Hitler will be falsely resurrected by the Pope"
6) Feb 1965: by Meredith: "documented proof Hitler did not die in his bunker"
8) 13 Dec 1965, HWA in co-workers letter: "We are in the grand smash climax - only 6 years left."
11) 1955 PT by Hoeh: "within 20 years this nation will be toppled by worst drought in its history" - note: 1975 US had one of greatest grain surpluses and sold it to Soviets
17) April 1956 PT by Hoeh: "Disease epidemics threaten US in 2 years"
22) 1934 PT: "Christ will return in 1936"
23) 1940 PT: "Christ will come after 3.5 years of tribulation in October 43"
24) 1982 Coworkers letter: (for those who claim he mellowed with the years) "I hope to arrange for the use of Petra as a possible refuge or place of safety during the Great Tribulation when I see King Hussein. Pray for this please."
25) 1960's PT repeatedly claimed 1972 would be the year of Christ's coming
26) after 1969: HWA claimed it would be 1975
27) first half of 1950's PT: Christ would return in 1957
36) Gerald Waterhouse continually: if HWA died, God would destroy the world
48) April/May 1978 Worldwide News: HWA teaches you can only come to Christ through him through government structure: cut yourself off from Christ if you disobey HWA
61) 1966 PT by Dale Schurter: prepare for famine in US within 3-5 years; note - hundreds of WWCG farmer members bankrupted following his teaching that fertilizer was sinful
  71) Turkey will prevent the United States Sixth Fleet from fleeing from Nazi European air attacks and will stab America and Britain in the back. It will later be destroyed for this treachery. - Plain Truth articles by Hoeh, Herbert and Meredith in the 1960s.
89) He and Dale Schurter warned farmers against using nitrate fertilizers claiming it would ruin their lands and would cause famines around the world. Instead, nitrate fertilizers, developed after the turn of the century, have fed billions of people. It was farmers who followed HWA who were ruined when they suddenly abandoned all fertilizers on his urging and went immediately to compost heaps without easing their land off it. Hundreds or thousands of families were ruined.
92) From 1950s onward, HWA and Hoeh: King Hussein of Jordan will grant the WWCG a tribulation-time "place of safety" at Petra. 1994, King Hussein is dying of colon cancer. Extreme Islamic fundamentalists are threatening to topple his dynasty and seize Jordan.
108) March 1950 PT: "One third of our people will die from starvation ... - and in the next FEW YEARS!" Is 48 years just "a FEW YEARS!"?
120) August 1957 PT: Another old favorite still with us today. Roderick Meredith: "at the conclusion of the drought and floods we are now just beginning to suffer this nation is going to be punished by horrifying DISEASE EPIDEMICS - plagues." When? He approvingly cites a 1956 Plain Truth title: 'Disease Epidemics Threaten USA in Two Years!" Clearly, 1958 was meant. Meredith continued, "In addition to those warnings ...we will soon find that hoof-and-mouth disease will spread COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL!" The only thing that spread out of control, then and the next 40 years, was the disease of his own big mouth.
149) PT, June 1963 - Roderick Meredith gets his knickers in a twist claiming that a "Protestant leader credited the Roman priests of Europe as being 'the minds behind the (European Common) Market', the real planners of this coming Holy Roman Empire which is prophesied to arise in Europe and CONQUER America and Britain within the next 10 to 12 years ... It is later than you think."

34 years on from that remark, meredith continues to sound off on such subjects, still without humility, without shame. In fact, the true "Minds behind" the European Community after World War II were Robert Schumann, Jean Monnet and - most of all - Winston Churchill, whom herbert had already predicted years before would be conquered by Hitler.
      156) PT, February 1965: Roderick Meredith - "Dozens of prophesied events indicate that this final revival of the Roman Empire in Europe -and its bestial persecution of multitudes of Bible-believing Christians - will take place within the next seven to ten years of YOUR LIFE!"
Yet another false prophecy, another foul lie. In fact, the years 1967-70 saw the Catholic Church charity organization Caritas make far greater and more successful relief efforts to save hundreds of thousands of starving children (hundreds of thousands died anyway) in the Nigerian Civil War than all other groups combined. The 1966 Medellin accords opened a new era of respect and support for human rights in the Catholic Church throughout Latin America.

There you have a record of some of the lies that have been spewing from the mouths of the "enlightened" evangelists, ministers and apostles of the Church.  Every single one of them have proven to be liars.


You would think that given this horrendous track record of lies and false prophecies uttered in the Church that other splinter cult leaders would have learned to keep their mouths shut.  Sadly, they have not learned a lesson from the past.


Today, the biggest liar and fool that the Church has is Ron Weinland.  Weinland claims he is THE end time prophet, that he is one of the two witnesses, and the last apostle for this age.


He has published and said  so many foolish and stupid things that he has no credibility anymore.  Yet, like the EverReady Bunny, he keeps on going.


On April 29, 2012 he had this to say about his awesome revelations:


As readers of this site know, May 27, 2012, is the time that I have stated as being the date Jesus Christ will return as King of kings over all government on this earth. For such an event to come to pass, the Trumpets of Revelation must all sound, the United States and dollar collapse, the ten nations of Europe arise to fulfill the final revival of the Holy Roman Empire, and Russia with China must unite against Europe in WWIII.
But as the last apostle in this age, and as God’s end-time prophet, I am still telling people that this is true and that a short-lived WWIII is now at our doorstep. Due to this strong conviction, the Church of God – PKG is putting all its resources into promoting this final message of Christ’s impending return in order to complete the “work” that God has given us to do. This “work” is nearly complete. As my previous post was written over two months ago, this may well prove to be my final one, since there are only four weeks remaining in this age.

Then a wave of sanity briefly kicks Ronnie in the ass and he rambles on about things maybe not happening according to plan because God is "merciful."  I guess on Monday morning  May 28th when the sun rises, Weinalnd will be saying, "God has shown great mercy on the church because it is not ready and has therefore delayed the coming of Jesus Christ."  That is the same broken record the liars of Armstrongism have been saying for 70 some years now.  The dumb sheep are not ready and God has to delay his awesome plan of death and destruction.

When I began writing posts for this site, I initially envisioned the possible need of writing more often, primarily due to our preparing for the possibility of “great tribulation” beginning at the very start of this final three and one-half year period. However, great physical tribulation did not begin at that time, and it thankfully has not yet begun. So the need to write more often in order to help people deal with tribulation that could have begun early on has not been needed. But rather, in the midst of horrifying prophecies for this end-time, God has revealed in a most powerful manner one of His greatest attributes toward His creation—toward mankind. It is the awesome quality of “mercy”!

Then, I guess Weinland's brain fart is over and he says:

A fast approaching fixed date of May 27th for Christ’s return does not seem reasonable to people. It just does not seem right. Throughout time, those things that God has given to people in the form of prophecy and instruction just do not seem right to mankind. Human nature has always resisted the true ways of God.
 Those in the world and in the Church that was scattered who hear (or read) what I have said about the timing of Christ’s return and all the horrific end-time events that will precede it respond in similar manner—with utter disbelief. Oftentimes, the response is also mixed with ridicule, slander, anger, mockery, chiding, correction and a seemingly endless barrage of other negative human emotions regarding the “message.” God actually addresses this exact kind of response, for this exact moment in time, by a prophecy given through Ezekiel (Ez. 12).

For all of you that mock Weinerdude and his prophecy this is what is in store for you:

God says He will scatter such people and they will be taken into captivity. This next part will make many mad and upset with me, but this is from God and not from me. This is speaking of the vast majority of the Church that was scattered after the apostasy. They have become so spiritually sluggish that they cannot and will not accept truth that God has given since the apostasy—truth that He has given to His end-time prophet.

Weinland ends with this:

God’s timing is based on the day He has set for the return of His Son as world ruler. God will allow mankind to begin his final war, but He will also quickly stop it. The reason should be obvious! “Why” massive destruction from end-time events has not yet begun is due to the reality of how massive such a war will become as soon as it starts. Once a single nuclear device is detonated, and it will happen very soon now, who will refrain themselves from retaliating? Who will be the first to limit the response of their attack once the cycle begins?

It is because of such destructive power in the hands of mankind that God has shown that if He did not intervene quickly, once such a conflagration begins, mankind would destroy itself. That is exactly what God is going to do. He will cut short the war that man begins, and He will do so on May 27th, which is also the day Jesus Christ returns.

I am going to have a great bottle of wine, grill some shrimp and steak on the night of the 27th as I watch the sun set; while laughing with some other ex-COGers at yet another idiotic Church of God minister made a public fool of himself.

That's a great idea, and sounds like such fun. We will also be BBQing and enjoying the day. You will not be alone in eating and drinking while the PKG members cower in fear down in their basements. I think when they finally come to their senses, they will be royally pissed off......... or they will be anxiously awaiting the next sermon.

"My Work Is Nearly Complete" should be: "I'm finished!".

Hey, out there: Armstrongism is also finished.

With the death knell of PKG coming up a week from Sunday (OK, let's not quibble about sunset in Jerusalem and local time zones), fortunately a holiday weekend for the lucky Americans, all of Armstrongism is at risk.

"How?", you say.

Glad you asked.

Because Ronald Weinland is one of you. He is exactly like you. There is no real difference between you and him.

You should be very uncomfortable.

Herbert Armstrong said 1972 we would flee and 1975 Christ would return. Unfortunately, from the standpoint of 1956, this looked like a safe false prophecy. It wasn't.

Herbert Armstrong was proved to be a false prophet (never mind that he predicted that the United States and Britain would lose World War II back during the War). Ronald Weinland has already been proved to be a false prophet. He will be doubly so May 27th.

YOU ARE ALL THE CAPTIVES OF A FALSE PROPHET.

Some are captives of a dead false prophet, which makes no sense at all. Others are captives of proven false prophets. Still others are captives of false prophets who will be proven to be once again for the nth time.

So the question is, not how many false prophecies does it take to make a false prophet, but how many times does a false prophet need to be proven so before you obey the Biblical injunction "from such turn away" and have the good sense to leave?

What will it take?

Obviously, you do not believe Moses (who relayed the command to kill off false prophets), so why would you believe Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul.

Kooks.

Infidels.

I could say all kinds of negative things about Ronald Weinland, but I think he puts his own foot in his mouth much better than anything I could possibly say about him

example:

"The answer that I am who I say I am will be given by the events described in both books coming true exactly as I have described"

The title of this original post is:

"Ron Weinland: "My Work Is Nearly Complete"

I don't recall if and where Ron actually said those words, but the title fits Ron very well with "his work," which certainly based upon all of his false prophecies should never drag God's name into anything he has done in "his work."

I like the title, because it seems so appropriate for people like Ron Weinland, Rod Meredith, Dave Pack, Gerald Flury, David Hulme, Denny Luker, Jim Franks.......etc.

As far as God is concerned, we may read this:

Psalm 111:4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

And in many people's minds, some of those works may not be worth remembering, but we've not seen "the end of the matter" yet, but with every day that passes we do know that eventually...time will tell.
