Ever see those ads for FREE MINISTRY CREDENTIALS? The advertisement says "FREE". At Ron's academy you must pay. You must be a tithing member before you may be baptised. If that is not a contradiction, I don't know what is. After being baptised, I wonder how long it takes to become "ordained"?
Last time I listened to Ron he was touting a new group of young people from the middle east. My thoughts immediately went to Ron being seen on the internet, bound and kneeling in front of a black flag with white squiggly letters on it, and surrounded by balaclava clad jihadists brandishing AK47's and a sharp knife.
Since Ron is a con artist, I can only imagine the state of these young middle eastern people's minds six months from now. Now I hear Ron has ordained one of these as an elder. That is quite a rapid advancement from new member to elder in less than a month! Does this mean that the list of elders is a list of confirmed members? That makes it easy to estimate the number of Ron's following.
The "E.U. would rather go to war than lose the Euro" and "Whatever Russia and China have decided or planned to do, they have already done it" were a couple of profound statements given to us by Ron today. As a prophet, Ron is a failure. As a con artist, Ron is a success (so far). I guess that makes him a fuccess. Hey a new word!
As for the book 2008 God's Final Witness, it is pretty well disproven, moth eaten, mouldy, and falling apart. Ronald Weinland has failed miserably as a prophet.

You can label that as stereotyping if you want, but it is not. It was just a comedic thought at the time. Not all young people are looking for that type of adventure.
They must not have access to the Internet in the "Middle East" where Ron Weinland apparently has converts. Which country exactly?
All he said was "Middle East". I too would like to know which country. Some are more hardcore than others.
He probably doesn't want to disclose the place. In a planet of 6 billion people, it doesn't surprise me that he has a few ready to follow him. He doesn't care, money is money.
Failed prophets who believe their own false teachings and follow their own faith are not bad people. They might still be dangerous and terribly misguided. But they are not necessarily bad people because of it.
We can't put Ron in this category.
"Failed prophets who believe their own false teachings and follow their own faith are not bad people."
I would guess that all depends on how you would define "bad people." In my world, dangerous people are bad people.
