AD- I think what is more plausible (and I am surprised you haven't considered it) is that if anyone influenced JRS in the background late 70's to 1980 it was the ministries, APCO, those to whom JRS gave power in many instances before they were ready for it, before they knew the Lord and His ways, before they read the Bible. Marilyn was a secretary and while I am sure she gave her input, I doubt what she said carried the same weight as the militant young sons of John.
