Great points, Lily Rose. JRS was considered to be THE Apostle to the Kingdom age. He had definite ways of letting you know what you were supposed to think. In fact, he used to say, "Let me tell you how to think." If he said, "Get married," you got married. If he said, "Get divorced," you got divorced. If he told a young woman to get an abortion, she got an abortion. Yes, I said that.
John Robert Stevens was not an unassuming man. He didn't mince words, and he didn't seem like a person who retreated from being glorified. If he told his flock that participating in Christmas celebrations was dishonoring God, then who was going to say, "Well, I'm doing it anyway?"
