His Testimony
Before he became the “respectable” Dr. Weiss, Randy was raised in an observant Jewish home in Gary, Indiana. In 1965, he joined a rock band. This led to heavy drug use: cocaine, LSD, crystal-meth, barbiturates, amphetamines, and everything in between from PCP to heroin experimentation.
In 1972, he had dreams of fame after he cut his first record. January of 1973, he eloped with a lovely young Italian girl, leaving on a combination honeymoon and record promotion tour.
Within a couple of weeks, his new wife climbed out of their hand-painted 1964 VW Bug and left him. On his honeymoon, Randy read The Late Great Planet Earth. His life was forever altered. God delivered him from drugs, restored his new marriage, and called Randy to salvation.
Since 1973, Randy has boldly proclaimed the truth of his Jewish Messiah.
