Ron Weinland, setting the example for the rest of the COG leaders, has written another missive from the Birmingham jail. Sorry, the Terre Haute Prison. The prison guards that have to OK his letters to his membership must be laughing their heads off at the sheer stupidity that comes from Weinerdude.
Did you know that the Churches of God have been facing horrific war since 1994? The battlefields are strewn with the bodies of murdered COG members. At least they are in the warped brain of Weinerdude. COG members have never suffered persecution in this country, and especially Weinerdude's little cult. The only persecution that Weinerdude's cult has faced is that Laura and Audra can't go to Vegas on shopping sprees anymore.
According to Weinerdude, his god was soooooooooooo pissed at the COG that he went back to heaven and vomited the church out. Weinerdude's god then turned the COG over to Satan and his flying demons where they have had a field day ever since.
We live in a precarious time, when at any moment, the first nuclear device will explode and lead to many more. Though the world is about to plunge into WW III, the Church has been experiencing world war for some time now. At the time of the apostasy, the First Seal of Revelation was unsealed and then a great spiritual war engulfed God’s Church on a worldwide scale. As I mentioned at the beginning about my time in the Church and the ministry and of witnessing great spiritual battles, what God’s Church is experiencing now is by far the most powerful and continuing attack I’ve ever seen throughout all my time in God’s Church.
Some may wonder how, in this present time, there could be the greatest spiritual attacks, when in 1994 there were over 60,000 casualties that quickly resulted from the apostasy, and there were over 30,000 who were scattered as they struggled to remain alive. During that time, there was great spiritual power, signs, and lying wonders that worked to devastate God’s Church. But the reality was that the entire Church was so spiritually weak, lukewarm, and filled with pride that God would not accept her any longer in such a condition, so at the opening of the First Seal, He removed Himself from the Church vomited it out.
When separated from God, with Him and His Son no longer “dwelling in” the church, it was prime picking for Satan and the demonic world, and so this separation was followed immediately by power (demonic spiritual power), signs, and lying wonders within the organization of the Worldwide Church of God.
According to Weinerdude, his god is now happy with the COG and has cleaned up all the vomit. Weinerdude says the church is now stronger and more unified than it ever has been since 1969. If you do not believe him you are spiritually weak.
So how is this time we are in now, a time of greater spiritual warfare and attack from that demonic world upon God’s Church? During the apostasy, the body of the Church was removed from God dwelling in it. The Church was without God’s spiritual strength, power, and protection in it. However, the Church today is not weak! Since 1969, I have never witnessed the Church being nearly as spiritually strong and unified as I now see it. Some few may feel otherwise, but that could only be the result of their short-time experience and/or spiritual weakness at this time. I know what I have witnessed, and that witness is from God, and it is true.
Even though the church is spiritually strong, Satan is on a rampage against it and is making it weak. Weinerdude's members are falling by the wayside. This includes some of his minsters. Weinerdude is particularly incensed at his ministers that have failed to come and visit him in prison.
Over the past few months, in personal experience and upon hearing from so many brethren about their own experiences, there has not been a time in all my time in God’s Church when Satan and the demon’s attacks upon God’s Church have been so furious. This is simply a testimony to the time we are in and the reality that they know their time is nearly over.
Though these attacks are making many much stronger on one hand, they are never the less very wearisome and spiritually draining, which is dangerous. If the Church were not as strong as it is, it would have been devoured long before this, but God’s people are being resolute, persevering, and continuing at the battle that is before them, and not giving up. This is a battle to the completion, when God sends His Son in His Kingdom. There have been very few casualties, but there are still a few more who are weakened and will not survive if they do not turn things around in their spiritual lives and take heed and practice what has been written in recent posts and in letters to the ministry, for this includes a few in the ministry as well.
Because of those weak impotent ministers and the numerous members leaving his church, Weinerdude has called a church wide fast. (Except for Laura and Audra, they will be dining on caviar and toast. The Second Witness has to keep her strength up.) I have to laugh that every time the shit hits the fan in the COG a fast has to be declared. It's the dumb members fault and they have to fast for forgiveness and strength. They have sinned grievously, so much so that Weinderdude went to prison. Its the members fault instead of he, Audra and Laura's embezzling of money for their own use. The members are sinful deviates that have let Satan take over them so much so that they are blinded to their sin. Dumb members! You should know better!
Urgent Fast:
Since the spiritual battle has been going on for such a long duration of time and has been working to make people weary in battle, it is time to fight ever harder and press forward spiritually more than ever before. It is time for a church-wide fast in order for us to be strengthened with greater power from on high power that Satan cannot battle. Satan and his demons can fight against the angelic realm and they can attack God’s people, but they cannot attack God and the power of His spirit in our life. That power God’s spirit in us is our power and might by which we are made strong against attacks and are able to move forward against that evil spirit realm unto the day that realm itself is placed into captivity.
We are following the outline of Isaiah 58 in which we are to first cry out to God for forgiveness of our own personal sins and also ask for help to see sin in ourselves of which we are blind. Then when God helps us to see that which only He and His Son can see, we repent. Next, we are to follow this by praying (using this same outline) for God’s strength and power to fill us more fully in order to accomplish the spirit of battle of Isaiah 58 in diminishing the power of Satan (power to bind, deceive, and hold captive because of human sin).

ReplyDeleteStatements like these underline a lack of awareness of, or unwillingness to acknowledge, the fact that there is a big wide world out there, outside the artificial walls of COGdom. I remember that feeling well. Anything of any import is happening here in our organization. There are no other important ponds.
To debate with the senseless is senseless.
ReplyDeleteP.D.
Ron has some serious problems with reality and denial.
ReplyDeleteI feel like fasting not to appease this god of whoever he is who is now in prison claiming of all things to be a minister of the true God. I would like to fast so that God would open the eyes of the oppressed and milked members of the church of this guy in prison and see that this prisoner is nothing more than a wolf in sheep's clothing. Or if some objects that he is a wolf, he is nothing more than another mental case in a state of delusion. He should realize that he can fool people once or twice, but certainly not all the time. Those who stick with him are mental cases like him.

ReplyDelete"If the Church were not as strong as it is, it would have been devoured long before this, but God’s people are being resolute, persevering, and continuing..."
ReplyDeleteIF that clown was part of The Church he would understand that it is because of God that The Church survives, not because the people are "resolute, persevering, etc"
he obviously appeals to the fearful, which is why he's going full bore into the "disaster is right around the corner" mode....
This may just be a personal observation, but all of the people who are ranting and raging about the church being attack by Satan or the world are creating the problems they see or imagine.
ReplyDeleteIf every one of those so called ministers would focus on building better relationships and encourage their people to be balanced citizens in the communities where they live we might see some positive fruit in their people.

"Ron has some serious problems with reality and denial."
ReplyDeleteNot so sure he does. His followers, on the other hand, they certainly do.
I hope he's quick about his fast, cuz Audra's on her way there now, wearing lots of jewelry, with a big ice cream cone for the Overweight Witless One.
ReplyDeleteIt's got "Momma's Witness Period Juice" on it! YUMMY!

Why would a god care if you fast? Because gods like people to make themselves miserable? Okay, in that case why not cut yourself half a dozen times with a dull knife instead?
ReplyDeleteHow many people would want stones made into bread after doing without food and water for 40 days - not that anyone could possibly survive more than three days in the desert without water - but wouldn't you want a cool drink of water before wanting bread?
But, never-mind the silliness of fasting, and that Moses and Jesus would have had to tote 20 gallons of water up the mountain to survive 40 days of fasting (and that would be cheating because you have to do without water too). Just forget all that nonsense. Now, what purpose would it serve? To show a god that you are sincere? A god who already knows whether you are sincere or not? Ridiculous!
NO! The only thing it does is give the fasting person bragging rights. Yeah, the right to brag that he/she was willing to inflict themselves, make themselves miserable, for the sake of their own righteousness. Oh, but be sure to announce it to the world on the Internet or in a book...you know, wouldn't want to go unrecognized as a true believer in the virtues of fasting.
I tried fasting, but later found that I much prefer slowing.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I wonder how long it will be until Weinland is subjected to some sort of psychological evaluation or mental treatment. Seems like he's on the way to a major meltdown!

I don't think Ron is on his way to a meltdown.
ReplyDeleteWhen you hear and see these "sleazy salesmen for Jesus" and all the nuttiness they spew, it's easy to jump to the conclusion that they're headed for a meltdown...unless you think more carefully.
Actually, these guys (and some gals too) tend to be methodical and even-keeled as they run their religious scams, collecting peoples' money.
Just look at all the scam artists on Daystar and TBN Christian TV! Even news exposees delineating their cons hardly put a dent in their support!
And as one of the Weinland jurors noted, in spite of his imprisonment, his scam remains intact.
I really don't hear Weinland saying anything crazier now than he did before.
