What, exactly, are you trying to say?
I have yet to see you voice a clear, "I think he's nuts because of these three points." or, "I think he's great because of these two teachings."
Your posts always seem to display an ability to gather information (which anybody can do these days, thanks to Google), but lacking any clear analysis that results in a particular view.
What is your view on the validity, or lack thereof, of Rood?

Easy G (G²);62150610 said:Don't know if you are aware of it - but there was another thread on the issue that gave some good information on the matter - as seen in the thread entitled Why do so many Messianics criticize Michael Rood?. Some have even been shocked by the fact that he chose to have a sacrifice outdoors - yet I don wonder how off it really was (more here) - and on many things, many of the same people who may have complained against him have actually supported things he has taught at some point or another.
He used to be with "The Way International" - well known for their cult status and other things they've done...and he still works with people from there. (more shared here , here, here and here). Much of what he does with his own fellowship is considered to be a Splinter Group dynamic of Way International. He has shared his own testimony of his background - although some of the things shared seemed to be a good bit out there when seeing current actions:
There was one time years ago where he prophesied the End of the World on a specific date and got A LOT of people unsettled - and it didn't seem right at all. And many of his actions seemed no different than things I'd hear from some of the Hebrew Roots cults I unfortunately encountered/lost family and friends to back in 08 - as the man (not surprisingly) is very dogmatic and has made attempt to reinforce his teachings to his supporters with extremely strong warnings that to depart from them would be to "deny God" or such.
For more, one can go online/investigate the article entitled What the Heck, Michael Rood? | Messianic Jewish Musings - and the others would be Learn to be a Prophet in Jerusalem! | - Rosh Pina Project and Haredim and the Bible | - Rosh Pina Project. Additionally:
- Field Guide: Michael John Rood overview
- Michael Rood and His "Rood Awakenings".
- Rood's tendency to seamlessly mix fact and speculation in his presentations .
The videos/info I was able to find on him:When he made his prophecies of the world ending back in May of 2011, we discussed in service t the subject of deception and those who may fall into the errors of believing that the Messiah will come/telling others when.....and we prayed for Brother Michael on the issue since he has supported this. Some of what he offers is akin to what occurred with Y2K and many of the "End Times" teachers that were on T.V. (i.e Hal Lindsey, Jack Van Imp, etc) who would say that the Lord was coming back on certain dates---and then having to backtrack when it didn't happen. It's unfortunate to see since it comes off as if one's a conspiracy theorist that strings together things without seeing if they even should connect. For the people who may get into alarms/try to buy supplies and give up their jobs (as many did in the 70/s when thinking the Lord would return), it will be very unfortunate.
Some of the things he does are a bit eccentric - such as his dress - and I think it's why many get thrown off by him, in addition to other things. But his dress would be the last thing I'd worry on him about. More shared on that before in previous discussion
