"Of course, they (Marilyn, John, Gary etc.) would claim God dealt with them personally all the time, and they were completely subject to His will. Or perhaps they, as Christ, were dealing with each other in the same unsympathetic way they did with people. Seems dubious, since it is an obvious conflict of interest."
And filled with potential mischief as they were all related. Ha..family members monitor each other to ensure their actions were in God's will. Well, that is in a nutshell the LW paradigm that the Lord speaks to the leadership (though there is no guarantee what they hear is really from God) and never question the leadership or their authority.
I get it that people like Maybee couldn't get a revelation of M and that some in the fellowship would assume that because Marilyn was female she would be sympathetic. From what I have read on the message board, I find it interesting that Marilyn seemed to take on the stereotypical male model of leadership (aggressive) in order to succeed in leadership and maintain her position. I think I once heard on a CNN interview that's common for women in the business world. Thanks for your insight.
