Hi kbyrne...I recall reading on Facnet that at one point Craig left the cult and later came back and was restored....whatever that means. I don't know if that info is accurate. However, Craig and Carol divorced. Craig married Myra I forget her last name but she was one time married to Tim Skully (I think that was his last name); they were assistant pastors of the Santa Barbara Church under Paul Young. Carol became a midwife for a while and then later ran kind of b&b in Hawaii. I do recall hearing second hand that while Craig and Carol pastored the Honolulu Church they lived in a very expensive area and expensive house. Not that there is anything wrong with that. The interesting thing to me about Craig is once he was a golden boy in the Walk. JRS praised him....called him a real lifewire....and gave Craig an assignment to write kingdom music. Again I heard this second hand, that whenever Craig would submit his songs to JRS, the response was it wasn't "anointed" kingdom music. Apparently JRS had been privy to hearing kingdom music. Craig was very talented and bright and it's so sad that he has spent his life chained up in a little cult. Another who left around the time or right before the Big Trip were Lee Bailey from Colorado. I recall hearing the reaction of his wife was, "Yeah, we can celebrate Christmas." I remember telling you about David Cokas and his church but I don't remember if I told you that when I checked out David's webpage a few years ago, there was a recorded message (sermon) by Finney as a guest speaker.
