Hello all I answered the questions on my last post but this wonderful yet archaic forum failed to place it so you could hear my brilliance. John died in 1983 so I'm not sure about that math and the question of missing information, but I was born in 1971 so I was 12 when he went to the other side!!! I was booted out when I was 20 so that makes me 45 not 36. I was around during both "reigns" but obviously remember more about the G&M days...my family was not excommunicated -just me. My point of the last post was to THIS group and I should have been more clear. IF you brought your children into the body then left I hope you have made amends. If they won't accept it because they've been indoctrinated to the point of oblivion you have the "blood" on your hands. KEEP trying! The older people (like my father who is still very active in the church) that are still IN have been pretty much told that they will be their families responsibility in their golden but maybe not ultimate contributing member years not the churches problem, in a nutshell. I hope that makes sence.
ANYWAY, I've known Larry BoBo my whole life and he's a brilliant guy. He also likes to "hear" himself talk! Maybe it's my age but divorces happen in and out of the Walk, they probably suck-my parents waited WAY to long to divorce they hated each other for decades!
Larry has to deal with the repercussions of
his decisions, as he has said in the past he was in positions of power and crapped on the little people cause that was kinda his job if he wanted to stay in his position. ALWAYS POSITION! from what I've read from the posters here many of US (me included) did shitty things to other people because that's what was expected/demanded! I grew up with the concept of total submission being the only way to live, obviously I gave that the middle finger as my ex-communication is proof of. NOBODY is totally clean here, we all bare responsibility for our own actions! If it was your choice to give your lives to a man (or woman) ultimately not God or Lamp or Mom sucks for you,I'm glad your healing. If you born/brought kids into the fray and you saw the awful things and did nothing that is also on you. BUT I know one thing for sure, God is bigger than all of us and I'm pretty sure forgiveness is attainable for everyone (even adulterers) if they ask with an open heart.
Just my two cents...and I've gotten interrupted typing this multiple times-sorry if it's fragmented.
