I bet lots of churches left the walk right after that meeting. That is what Marilyn designed the meeting for, to separate the ones that were not loyal to her from the fellowship.
By the way what does SLC stand for? And also, I am really interested in what happened to all of the churches that were affiliated with Living Word. I know that some of them were already established churches when they came in, they all were not started by JRS for sure. I am always curious as to which ones might have stayed together and become a good healthy church after they left, or if they pretty much all just disbanded.
But back to that meeting, I have no idea how church systems operate, how the money is made, but it seemed to me when I was at that meeting that there was MONEY at stake, it was not lay pastors like in the South that were in it for the people, there were CAREERS at stake. It was certainly a business. All a business.
