Can Armstrongism get any crazier?
In 2008 Weinland gave a sermon on the
1260 days...
In this past week’s sermon Ron delivered an interesting message that indicated that his wife Laura (the silent witness), on more than one occasion, had to place a blanket in their hotel room bathtub, and remain there in the bathtub covered in a blanket, while Ronnie gave his sermon in the comfort of their spacious hotel room. This of course was to elevate distractions, while Ron could concentrate and deliver his sermon. Could you imagine spending approximately 2 hours sitting or laying in a bathtub covered in a blanket? I can’t. This is pathetic.
42:23-42:42 …I was going to mention here that she [Laura] is actually in the room this time. It shows growth on my part in being able to speak. I guess she doesn’t have to go into the bathroom this time and put the big blanket to cover her in the tub like she did during Passover last year. Sometimes it has been difficult for me to speak when there is one or a few in the room compared to an audience…
Earlier in the sermon, Ron declared that prior to the delivery of this sermon; he approached his wife and caught her off guard by proclaiming that God wanted her ordained as a Prophet. According to Ron, there wasn’t any discussion with Laura before this decision to ordain her was performed. It occurred at that very moment. Later he made reference that he had grown enough to allow Laura to remain in the same room while he delivered the sermon. That is why she is in attendance at today’s sermon, in their hotel room, with Ron the “Prophet” and not in the “tub” with the blanket.
Finally, Ron did proclaim that he is still the “Prophet” and will only answer to God and Christ. Laura is a “prophet” that is subordinate to Ron, but has been given authority over all evangelist and elders of the church.
What woman in her right mind would lay in a hotel bathtub, covered with a blanket, while her idiot husband was preaching a sermon in the other room. What kind of a man would ever make that request? How sick can Armstrongism get?
