The End Is Coming In 2026!!!!!!!!!!

Armstrongism has always loved to set and/or speculate about dates.  You would think by 2013 that they would have sense enough to stop doing it.  Every single one of their predictions have failed.

Now some COGers are looking at 2026 as the big date when it all happens:

Something else to ponder along with this train of thought is that it has been long thought that The End had to come by 1996, this was based on the mindset that it would be 2,000 yrs since Christ's birth. You have 2k yrs from creation to the promise being made to Abraham. Now what was the next important event to unfold? Christ's birth? Personally I would say no. The next event that had to take place was Christ overcoming Satan and qualifying to take over the throne of the Earth. That would have to have happened sometime around 26 A.D. 2,000 yrs in the future will take you to 2026. 40 yrs after Mr Armstrong died will once again take you to 2026.

Ron Weinland: Is Ron Suffering From Mental Health Issues While In Prison?

Ron Weinland, aka Weinerdude (not the New York version), has written another letter from prison as it was dictated to Bubba, Ron's bunk buddy.

Ron has this to say about the sins of the fathers dumped upon the children of the 3 and 4th generation.

Although the experience of physical pain in human life can be very unpleasant, the actual pain from suffering within the human mind can be much greater. Mental and emotional suffering come from a vast array of causes, all of which stem from sin and the curses that mankind has brought upon themselves. Many of these are simply passed down generation to generation or have even come as a result of what has been handed down from degenerating bodies (genes) as a result of curses and sin.

Ron is apparently suffering him self from mental health issues while in prison.  There seems to be a bunch of mean, nasty bloggers out there that are picking on him and making him the laughing stock of hte Church of God.

Ron is also suffering because of the disloyalty of many in his shrinking cult.  They refused to stick by as he sits in jail for 3 1/2 years.

Ron lists a laundry list of things that can cause mental health issues:

Although it is only very partial, the following list shows the kind of depth for causes and effects to human suffering and wrong experiences in life that cause such suffering (mental, emotional, and physical): betrayal, angry encounters, jealousy, envy, loss of the life of loved ones, sexual abuse, verbal abuse, arguments, false accusations, racism, robbery, countless diseases, cheating, adultery, fornication, HIV, rage, cancers, financial loss and struggle, obesity, depleted and contaminated foods, countless additives and chemicals in foods, indebtedness, divorce, unemployment, hostile work environment, oppression, murders, thefts, warfare, gossip, gambling addiction, oppressive government, corruption in government and business, false accusations, being maligned, daily pressures and stress of life, bloggers who lie, disloyalty, bad relationships, drug addiction, alcoholism, road rage, terrorism, pornography, greed, misuse of the Internet, malnutrition, deformities, bullying, controlling, fearfulness, phobias, evil, etc., etc. How many of these have been part or much of your experience in life? There seems to be no end to the means for human suffering that occupies so much of life. The real curses of life are overflowing, especially in this age of technology where sin is so easily multiplied.
