Really people? We're legitimizing anything that Gary has to say? Complimenting him for supposedly reaching out to the Catholic church (the ultimate male-dominated cult)? The Living Word is a cult. Gary is a cult leader. Shiloh University is a joke and I don't take any of these people seriously. John Robert Stevens was a cult leader. I loved John Robert Stevens way back in the day. I knew him personally. I was "privileged" to be on van rides with him, Marilyn and the Blix girls (wearing their ridiculous turbans and serving food from crock pots) who took down his every word while we were driven by Larry Makuakane from service to service. I went to sleep at night listening to his tapes and was thrilled by The Jubilee Trail and many other focuses that we were given. My ex-husband and I were directed by Com West and waited to hear from them before we made decisions for our own lives. John died and all of his so-called Kingdom went with him. I was left with a black hole in my life and worried about judgment because I left the church at that point and was not submissive to the elders and my now-ex husband. God forbid a women should have a mind of her own and tell the elders she doesn't agree with them and that they have no authority over her. The Catholic church does not care about Gary Hargrave or The Living Word. With great respect to all who post here, say what you may from whatever position you are coming from, but it seems much is being made about what Gary says and/or does. I deeply care about the people who have been harmed and continue to be harmed by this cult, especially my sister and others like her. She doesn't know any better at this point in her very long life in this cult and I don't wish for her to be liberated because this is all she knows. She is controlled by her so-called pastors and submits to their control as to where she lives, who she has relationships with and where she works. After 40 plus years in this cult, she no longer has a mind of her own. I have a mind, freedom and a life of my own that I have fought very hard for and no one can ever take that away from me. I occasionally try to catch up on the posts made in this forum, and it is so apparent to me how much focus is still given to this cult. I wish you all peace and love as you move forward with your lives.
