I personally believe that the LWF, got worse and worse with each passing generation. I said in my last post that the FIRST generation did not understand the message, but I meant to say the SECOND generation of Walk members , my bunch didn’t understand the message. I think each generation has gotten worse, until now, and I don’t have an opinion as to if it swings for the good, or swings for the bad.
I know that there are several strange sects going on in Christianity today, very dangerous beliefs based on taken out of context twisted scriptures. There is the “emerging church” the “New Apostolic Reformation” which has some good guys and some bad ones, (the leaders I mean) and there is the ecumenical movement , which really heads back toward more Catholicism , there is the even more dangerous ecumenical that want to go so far as to create CHRISLAM, that merges with Islam, (a true pipe dream), there is of course the Word of Faith movement, it goes on and on. I don’t think at this point the Walk is the most dangerous out there, for one thing, they have contained themselves pretty much.
We will see, it is interesting times. To me, I still believe that John Robert Stevens, though he had his own quirks and his own personality flaws and they got in the picture, was not an intentional deceiver.
I know that I might be considered out of line for saying this, but I do believe that since JRS believed so much of the Latter Rain thing, and that he NEEDED to be adored by his “children,” my generation, the ones that were with him in the 70s and 80s had a lot to do with making JRS what he was.
I have to take a little breather now, I will post maybe half or less of what I have been posting here. I think I need to take some time for other things for a while. I tend to take up too much room on this forum anyway, and it would be great if I let some people come back that have been on before, and also have some new ones come in. It could be that there will be some current members willing to post.
I think it might be good that we do not just shut them down if they defend any of the weirdness, if there is some debate, as they try to unravel and disconnect from what they have believed for so long.
