I am not going to let someone get suckered into following this shyster without warning them first.

People can read the links and decide about Rood and whether to listen to him or not.

The links speak for themselves.

Right... But since you've brought it up, let's just let the links do just that for about the dozenth time over about half a dozen threads. But first let's hear from Michael Rood about this business of being "a fraud, false prophet, and crook", you keep being a false witness about:

And since your list includes: "What is the Way International?", as if he's still associated with them, let's hear Michael describe that relationship:

Michael Rood EXPOSED!

Now for YOUR famous list that you keep posting and we all keep exposing for the unmitigated attempt at slander that it is:

Just a little info on Vickey Dillen who is behind the backroom website (www.seekgod.ca) you've linked to:

"Victoria Dillen is in a small cyber-cult of people holding Ruckmanite beliefs (believing that the 1611 edition of the King James Bible is more authoratative than the Hebrew and Greek originals). She is associated with someone called Barb Aho and her husband and two silly old women called Howard and Buester in Australia. They also have some connection with an ignorant crank in New Zealand named Tom Lamb and two individuals in Tenessee named Flanders and Engstrom who, among other things, defend Christian Cannabis smoking. Some of these sad people also are inclined towards the white superemacist anti-Semitioc Identity Movement and British Israelism.

Except for Tom Lamb (whom I regard as a well-intentioned clown) I have met none of these people. I was advised that I once met Mr. Lamb in New Zealand, but I do not recollect him as I meet many people. But I have not met Dillen.

Those whom I know who do know Dillen consider her to be a vicious liar, a vehement Jew-hater, and somewhat deranged.

More on Ms. Dillen from the same site:

About 10 years ago I was contacted by Vicky Dillen in Canada regarding my expertise of knowledge of the phony Christian right who are very involved in Dominionism/Reconstructionism, Sun Myung Moon, and the Scientologists. Vicky wanted some specific information. I was very willing to speak with her about whatever she asked. I even bought some books from her that she’d gotten from a house sale.

At any rate, during our conversation, I questioned her about her faith and I distinctly remember that she had no idea of the doctrines of different churches, including the rapture of the Church, Israel as the wife of Jehovah, replacement theology, or any of the false doctrines by many of the churches. I was absolutely astounded.

So it is with astonishment that this woman without any formal training and with a limited amount of biblical upbringing can attack as many as she seems to enjoy doing. I’ve actually seen Dr. Arnie Fruchtenbaum attacked because of the logo of Ariel Ministries. People are nuts!

Having just seen her attack on you, and having just listened to your teaching from Steve Babko’s Prophecy Conference, I thought I’d jot you a note and tell you what I knew. Actually Vicky Dillen is not even worthy of having you respond to any of her idiotic charges…ignore her, she’s not worth the time.

The true story of James Lloyd doing business as Christian Media Network

Just so we understand each other

Some have informed me that James Lloyd has intimated that there are on the internet, "forged or "false" documents, audio files and the like, which have been put in place by "enemies of the gospel." Mr. Lloyd is certainly not referring to me nor any document, audio file, or presentation of fact about him on this website. Falsifying and or misrepresenting court documents, recorded conversations, etc., is unlawful and would place the malfeasor in jeopardy of civil action.

James Lloyd wouldn't think to accuse me of such a thing. He knows that I would sue him for defamation - and win. Those who truly desire to find false documents and other libelous material, should continue to search for the source of such "forged" or "false" documents, identify the culprit, then exhort James Lloyd to sue them in court.

I'm glad I could clear the air about this.

How bout a bit of bio from the man himself:

MY TESTIMONY (Mike Oppenheimer)

I was brought up Jewish, went to Shabbat quite faithfully each Friday and celebrated the holydays at the temple and with family. Our family like many others, gathered together on the high holy days in observance. I attended Hebrew school twice a week and learned the language and eventually was Bar Mitzvahed and confirmed. While attending classes I asked a lot of questions about God the Rabbi could not answer. Though I continued each year, mainly to please my parents, I became less interested in the traditional religion of my parents and feeling hindered in my spiritual development, leaped head first into my own brand of freestyle spirituality after graduation.

By my own search in reading and attending lectures and gatherings I got involved in the New Age Movement, became a vegetarian and for 15 years practiced yoga and meditation. I ended up using psychedelic drugs for a time (LSD, mescaline etc.), as part of my regular religious observances and smoking “pakalolo” (pot) became part of my normal lifestyle. During these times I also experimented with various religions and the occult. I felt they each contained some part of the truth of the one “true” religion, just as Rosicrucianism teaches all religions are petals on the same flower.

I studied about the Ancient Masters of the East, learning about Buddhism and Zen I picked up on a number of the practices. I had a number of spiritual experiences which at the time I was sure were from God and leading me to a greater knowledge of myself and Him. I discovered and believed in the Ascended Masters that were guiding our world into a greater evolutionary path. I was involved with UFO’s and channeled messages. I was sure I was on the right spiritual path because of the various signs things just fell into place. At the same time I also read the Bible (even the New Testament), not denying my Jewish roots. I began reading over 50 books a year, having an insatiable spiritual appetite, but God was working on my exit out of this spiritual bondage.

I had also started to surf before beginning my spiritual pilgrimage. I fell in love with the sport and began traveling, surfing and entering contests. Surfing became my livelihood after I learned to shape surfboards for a living. I became the NY champion for a number of years and eventually the eastern surfing champion for two years. Hawaii proved to be an irresistible attraction due to its fantastic surf. I moved permanently to Hawaii with my girlfriend Kathy in the mid 70's. This gave me more freedom to pursue both my first love of surfing and my freelance spirituality. We thought we were becoming enlightened. Reading books about the Ascended Masters involvement and “learning” about Earth’s past history on Lemuria and Atlantis. We desired to become servants of the New age movement, convinced that if we all united we could usher in an age of spiritual cooperation and enlightenment that so many were talking about. After nine years my searching came to a head when my girlfriend Kathy and I started to pursue our spiritual hunger more seriously and became involved in the “I Am Movement” (the Saint Germaine Society of the Ballard's). Through calling on angels and powers unknown to us and by “decreeing” and using the Violet Consuming Flame to eradicate past life karma, we were learning to become active in the New Age Movement. At the time, Kathy was practicing affirmations, mantras, studying herbology, polarity therapy, kinesiology and learning about the supposed spiritual energies of the body. She also was a manager of a health store on the Island of Oahu.


One had to wonder what would cause folks to stoop to using such loons in an attempt to discredit a man of God? One also has to wonder WHY would anyone risk the sin of being a false witness, and why put so much effort behind it?
