I was in the Valley service when JRS announced from the pulpit that he would not be approving the request of Paul and Helen Young to take a short vacation to Europe because there was too much kingdom work to be done. Of course the Young's were obedient and did not go to Europe. The Young's gave their all to JRS's vision. Paul was a retired mailman and Helen a retired real estate agent who bought up many properties before retiring. I'd say they had money and they gave cheerfully to the LW. IMO they deserved a vacation and there was nothing in the NT that would preclude them from taking some deserved rest or for that matter, there was nothing in the NT to suggest that it was the job of the apostle to lord it over the Young's and demand obedience to the apostle's rule about no vacations. As discussed on this and other message boards, a few years later, the Young's were removed, excommunicated, from the LW because the apostle identified Helen Young as a nephilim which means somehow Helen was hindering the apostle from fulfilling his destiny to become god. Of course we all know that the belief in modern day nephilim preventing the apostle from becoming god is based upon superstition. How sad that ever happened. That the Young's gave their all to JRS, were obedient to a man and his rules that were not scriptural and they ended up canned, excommunicated because of superstition.
