Last year Ronnie Weinland, so far the only convicted Church of God felon, made the proclamation that his creature "jesus" was returning on Pentecost 2019. After the feast, felon Ronnie must have realized what a false prophet he is and is now telling his dwindling flock that they must save second tithe to prepare for the Feast next year.
“You’ve got to plan ahead in your life. Not like some did for 2012 where people were ready to quit jobs and everything else. Well, we learned a lesson from that. If there are some reasons, whatever they might be, and we don’t know what they are, and something can go beyond that, so be it. God knows what He’s doing and He’ll let us know at some point what we need to see.
So, anyway, you keep doing it. Some questions have come up, can it be used for different things like coming into Phoenix or to Cincinnati. No, it’s not a holy day. Now, there has been a time, one time in the past where some were being allowed to do that because of the focus we had, because of what was believed as strongly as it was at that point. But not now. You keep it for the holy days, holy days only.
“Some have asked about excess they’ve had after the Feast. You can save it for the next year. If you know you’re going to do something different, maybe go somewhere else if we go on, and you want to go to another place that’s going to take more money or maybe your finances have been cut back for whatever reason and you’re on the edge as it was for going to the Feast this past year, and yet you still had a little bit left, you can save that aside for next year. Now, if you’re doing exceedingly well and you know you have far more than what you need then yes, sometimes, you know, a person turns that in, excess second tithe, which is used in the following year, can be used to help others attend a Feast or for whatever purpose deemed necessary by God’s Church.Ronnie also laid down a new law to the gathered faithful. They were to no longer treat the Feast as a time for giving lots of presents. The Feast has been a regular Christmas giving season.
“I do want to make a comment that it’s not a time of passing gifts around, of thinking you’ve got to give gifts to different ones or everybody in an area. This isn’t Christmas. People shouldn’t feel obligated to have to give a gift to one another. You know, if you want to give a gift to some, to a few or whatever, that’s fine, you know, something that is special that you know would help them or be encouraging to them, that’s fine. But sometimes we get in certain places, certain areas where people have this feeling that they’ve got to do it year after year. No, you don’t. Again, it’s not making up for Christmas. It’s not feeling like you’ve got to pass out gifts to everybody, or whatever, or people get expecting of gifts or whatever. So please don’t do that.You are allowed to buy a few prices of clothing though to upgrade your current rags, but not a new wardrobe like Ronnie and Laura do.
Some have asked about clothing. Can you use second tithe for clothing? Well, it’s fine to, if you want to upgrade something, like for the Feast of Tabernacles, but not your whole wardrobe, not for something for the entire year, you know. Buying this or that, a pair of shoes, whatever, in the past I’d have said a suit, but I’m not worried about that any more, a special tie... well, we’re not doing that necessarily. If you want to upgrade something, fine, if you have ability to do that. But again, you don’t go on a great big shopping spree just because it’s that time of year and it’s not even going to hardly be used at the Feast. It’s about the Feast of Tabernacles. So that’s what you’ve got to keep in mind.Church of God-Preparing for the Kingdom of God members need to stop saving that money for some dumb Feast with Ronnie and Laura and use that money for themselves. Take a vacation, buy new clothes, pay off some credit cards, and enjoy life as it was meant to be. Stop supporting the certified liar Ronnie and his sick family. These two are no more the two witnesses than Bob Thiel is a minister of God. Peoples lives are too important to God than to be subject to all of these bottom feeders of Armstrongism.

What a pathetic waffling and disorganized thinker for someone who claims to be one of the "Two Witnesses"!
It's a Con.
Same trick, different day.
Christ is coming on this day. No, it's not happening. Oh well. Don't Go! Wait! Where are you going! God has his reasoning! Where's your faith? He's actually coming on THIS day. I'm RIGHT this time! Um.... okay, sorry... BUT DON'T GO!
How many times does this charade have to go on before people wise up and get wise to the con?
I hope Christ doesn't return that soon. In 2019 I'm making the big move to the United Kingdom and I don't need the second advent to ruin it for me.
This is typical of the Armstrongite mentality. Followers continually give their leaders a pass no matter how many times they get the prophecies wrong, looking to them as "apostles" rather than to the truthfulness of what they speak. And that's in spite of the abuse they heap onto the members to boot! If the members just stopped misapplying that one word (apostle), everything would become clear to them and they could be free. But, it's too deeply embedded as a guiding concept.

How are they going to fit in the 3.5 years witness between now and 2019? Have they borrowed Back to the Future's DeLorean?

Don't ever give the Church of God Splinters the idea that they can start using time travel to fulfill prophecy! Next thing you know they'll be using (DELETED)
LOL, I really had two paragraphs written here about what they could do. No joke. But then, I deleted it because I will not enable their schemes.
Man, I wish I could tell you what I thought they could try to do!!!!! LOL
It's not just the ministers who are conning the members. By now, most of the long-time members have become agnostics in private, and are only hanging around for family and friendships, and don't really believe most of what the ministers tell them. They see that there is no point in going back to false mainstream Christianity, so they tolerate the false Armstrongism so they can have happy families and social lives. Some members don't even bother to tithe by the old guidelines, which infuriates the ministers, but as long as SOME money is coming in they don't usually play the "I checked your tithes" card and demand more money.
Clown Felon Ron "Tax Cheat" Weinland said, "You’ve got to plan ahead in your life. Not like some did for 2012 where people were ready to quit jobs and everything else".
MY COMMENT - And where did the "some" get the idea that the end would be in 2012? From YOU in your book "2008 God's Final Witness" you moron!
NO2HWA is right - you are a "bottom feeder" preying upon the dumbest of the dumb tithe slave sheep that wandered away from the flock in every and all directions after the WCG imploded.

Don't you understand the new truth that has been revealed to the Interdimensional Church of God? The strange flying vehicle Ezekiel saw was a TARDIS, piloted by Prophet Who and his companion (aka "The Two Witnesses").

The ministers don't play the 'I checked your tithe' card and similar because their power level has dropped since Herbs death. If a minister becomes excessively difficult, a member can often join another splinter.

To any persons in his church, read slowly the five paragraphs he wrote and see if you can find the sure word of a prophet anywhere. Your first hint against being a sure worded prophet would be the all over the place second tithe usage dictates. God makes it simple for how to use your second tithe and His instruction only comprises four words - WHATEVER YOUR SOUL DESIRES! Contrast the concise sure word of God against the Ohio prophet who is already waffling with Pentecost 2019 only eight months away.
If you are following this man or giving money to this man, keep in the forefront of your mind that this man has and is now bearing a false witness. That breaks one of the commandments and as the church always taught, if you break one of the commandments - you break all of the commandments! The conundrum for the follower is being an accessory to commandment breaking or being a hypocrite if you support the man.
Cleanse yourselves people and the first step will be finding the nearest door.

I'm a disciple of Simon and Garfunkel! My problem is that I've never seen the words of Bob Thiel, or Ron Weinland, or Dave Pack, or Gerald Flurry, or James Malm ever written on the subway walls, or tenement halls! So how could they be prophets? It just doesn't compute.
Since it's the sabbath for some folks we all know, who believe that keeping the sabbath is what unlocks their understanding of prophecy, I'd like to recommend something for their listening pleasure. Google: " Blessed, Simon and Garfunkel," and use the lyrics to take a good look at your existences in Armstrongism.
