I was hoping somebody from the South would post here. I am glad to hear that this brother is still serving the Lord and still believing. I am pretty sure I know what church this brother was in, and I might have met him at one of the regionals if he went to any. But that is beside the point, I won’t mention any more about where he might have lived. So I do want to apologize for one thing, to Southern boy, as I was one of the rogue drunk/stoner “shepherds” set in by shepherds far removed from the main churche authorities (sic!)These were guys that were mostly pretty good pastors, but still far removed from APCO and JRS geographically. JRS probably didn't know they existed, most were not ordained in other denominations, some were. So I was basically a tape player feeder, but still, I was one of them that should have been seriously walking with God and serving the Body. I thank God that He kept His hand on me even though I deserved judgment, I received Grace.
Southern boy confirms that the abuse just was not present here like I have read about In the Walk, but one thing to remember too is that most of us just scattered to the far winds when JRS died. From what I read the mega-abuse in the rest of the Walk started after JRS died.
I have heard JRS say in tapes that all movements of God change after the guy that starts it dies. Luther would not recognize that movement if he were to come back to life and walk in, etc.
I had mentioned before that some people dropped off when Marilyn entered the picture, and Southern boy confirms it. Not many, but some, and then when John died, Marilyn is the biggest explosion that ever happened to the Walk, she demolished it completely. I would say that along qualifies her as the Jezz of the whole Walk, the Yoko Ono, the one common denominator that was used by SOMEBODY as the tool to blow on the Walk, and she was good at it.
Southern Boy might not be interested in what happens to them in this third phase, but I am interested, but only passively. From my own perspective, I hope the Walk either changes for the better or just splits up, for the sake of the thousand or so that are still in it, that they might get a taste of what it is like to be in a Christ centered church. I know for certain, for the good, or for the bad, there is going to be a big change now.
