There is a difference of opinion as to what or who influenced JRS more, his disease, whether or not he had a bad first marriage as he told his flock.
For certain, something changed JRS in that very period that Marilyn came OPENLY on the scene as his wife. Of course, that could be a coincidence, and it could be that the apostolic company just right at that moment became a detrimental influence.
But you know, for me to blame Marilyn, or for others to blame APCO, is always just taking the blame away from where it rightfully sits. John chose the APCO members, and John chose Marilyn, and JOHN is squarely behind what was started on his watch, including setting those "ministries" in motion by setting them in and putting over the people in the first place.
