Ronald Weinland thinks the world is coming to an end on May 27, 2012, but federal authorities say that is no excuse for not paying taxes. An indictment handed down Thursday claims Weinland diverted money from an Internet-based ministry operated out of his home in the Union subdivision of Triple Crown. Some of the money was transferred to a Swiss bank account in Weinland's name, according to court records.He better hope the world ends before the IRS sends him to prison. I don't think the odds are in his favor that it will end.
Weinland didn't return messages on Friday, but he has referred to the Swiss bank account during his sermons that are audiocast on his website. He told his followers that he was going to open the account in his name and deposit $200,000, according to a review of those audiocasts. He said the church would be able to continue to operate if it diversified outside of the United States because the nation was on the brink of collapse.
Weinland, once a member of the Church of God, created a breakaway church several years ago named Church of God - Preparing for the Kingdom of God.
He prophesizes to members about the end of the world. In extensive writing posted on his website, Weinland said the United States will collapse causing World War III. He claims in two books sold on the Internet that the collapse will culminate in the annihilation of the human race in May.
