Over the past few years, Weinland has claimed to be a prophet and one of the 2 witnesses of the book of Revelation. Ron has asked many of his followers to support his work and many have whole heartedly. Some have depleted their life savings and liquidated their homes and retirement accounts and have donated huge sums of money to Ronald’s end-time adventures. What has Ronald done with all of the money? There are over 12 financial institutions here in the USA where Ronald does business either personally or through his church.
The IRS has summoned these 12 financial institutions and they must appear for testimony during the 1st week of August. All of these financial institutions are required to provide information concerning Ronald’s personal and business accounts. This is part of an ongoing “CRIMINAL” investigation. Many of the financial institutions which were summoned by the IRS were not given much notice. They were notified in early July and required to produce a list of required documents regarding all of Weinland’s accounts by a scheduled appearance during the 1st week of August.
Here is an example of a “Summons” that the IRS used for requiring each financial institution to appear and bring the required documentation of Ronald Weinland’s accounts.

This is what Weinland was referring to in one of his sermons where he stated that their are “spiritual battles” going on that the membership is unaware!

Ronald Weinland’s Legacy
Filed under: Ron Weinland - The End-Time Spokesman Discussion Forum
I am wondering if Ronald has commingled his (church’s) business assets with his personal assets. If so, it is going to be difficult to determine which money belongs to the church or to Weinland personally. This could be a sticky mess, if Weinland has large sums of money in his personal bank accounts, but has only claimed to have made a certain amount of money. The IRS is going to ask where Ron received and/or earned these assets. Weinland will have an excuse, but will the IRS believe him?
How did the court respond to Ronald Weinland pettition? If he had nothing to hide he should be glad to have an audit done to clear his name.
I do not think the court did respond and is in the process of setting a date to review the petition. I believe the IRS still interviewed all 12 banks and gathered testimony and the required documents that pertains to Weinland’s accounts. Whether or not, the IRS will be able to use the gathered documentation and testimony will be determined by a court hearing.
It’s going to be interesting to see how Ron addresses his members via his sermons in regards to his situation and troubles with the IRS.
Weinland needs to go on the offensive. Have dozens of his followers sue the IRS, hire PIs to investigate high IRS officials, blackmail the judges.
Worked for another cult, even the FBI won’t touch them now.

I think many followers of Ron will continue to follow him and believe the IRS investigation is simply a part of the persecution that is expected for the true prophet and witness. But if the details of any mismanagement of monies are fdiscovered by the IRS investigation and found out by the membership, I believe MANY will bail and leave Ron’s group. Many its members who were with GCG left that group because they believed Rod Meredith mismanaged money, which made them mad.
Is there a way to post a short porno clip in this?..I think it would provide a GREAT Visual for showing what Ron’s doing to HIS Followers….
It’s nice to zoom in on the IRS summons as you can still make out his address (as well as the IRS agent’s address)…look it up on google mapping service and then get a nice view at his very nice house by using the street view.
Do you really expect faithful Torah observers to care less if we pay tax to Rome’s harlot here on earth collected by her agency, IRS?
This is incredible. I am just baffled – totally!
I cannot believe that I stayed as long as I did! I am glad though that I never went along with the sending in of any second tithes ever. I always thought I was doing wrong by not and felt bad but just could not afford it.
If you think about it, it is amazing how much revenue a church will make with only one tithe per member, let alone two!!! And he did sell many of those books online making profit there – they sold from 15.00 dollars to 20 some dollars depending on which site it was being advertised on!
All of you praying-minded people who have not yet been spoiled as far as your belief in God; pray for the truth to come out quickly so that all is brought out in the open.
IF there was wrong doing on RW’s part, then he should be put in jail.
I am glad that you have come to understand that Ron is not who he claims to be. He has manipulated people for a long time. Hopefully, his time is nearing an end. Many people lost everything that they owned because they believed that Ron was special before God and was his prophet here on earth. Ron never had total resolve, even though he asks this from his membership. While his followers sent in money from retirement accounts, savings, sold their homes for equity, borrowed money from banks on credit, Ron and his Wife continued to spend large sums of cash on the expenses of operating their own personal home, lavish vacations, and trips around the world to exotic locations. The sad part was that many of Ron’s followers are probably in large amounts of debt and nearing bankruptcy, while Weinland continues his manipulation strategies and lives like he has it all and that he is on top of the world. Hopefully, his world will start tumbling down soon, if the avalanche hasn’t already started. How long have you been a member? What was the deciding factor for you in deciding that Ron was not who he claims to be and that you needed to take action and leave? Did you have a lot of friends who were also members? Have they left, too? Do you still have contact with other members? Does Weinland really have approximately 1000 members worldwide? Were you an elder? Were you baptized? What is the mood inside the church at this time? Are many people questioning Weinland and asking him specific questions about his failed prophecies? I know for a fact that Weinland does not like to be questioned? In general, are people scarred of Ron and what he may do to them? I believe the answers to some of these questions can be helpful to others as they decide to make an exit.
I’m sorry that I did not see all of these questions earlier. It is now the middle of Feb. so to answer these questions may be a moot point but I will just the same.
I was a member for just at 3.5 years. The deciding factor for me leaving was that we had a president in 2009. I had no more doubt that Ron was false at that point. I have several friends in the church, yes. No one in my area have left yet, I am the only one. Ron supposedly has 1000 members but who can tell? You can’t know everyone in every area so he can say what he wants as far as numbers. I was not an Elder. Ron would never have anyone who wasn’t before 1994 as an Elder. I was baptised, this is why I was difellowshipped for questioning. You cannot be disfellowshipped if you are not baptised. The mood in the church when I left was actually good. I was the only one questioning anything as of that point. I believe that people are, in fact, scared of Ron. They probably believe he can call death upon them – it is sick.
I hope this answers all of your questions and I am sorry again that I did not answer them sooner.
After reading the article, I feel that I really need more information on the topic. Could you suggest some resources please?
