I wasn't going to post for a while, as it seems like new people show up when i don't hog the forum so much, but I am fascinated in this hell hole slave operated sawmill. By the way, KBoy, when you took your shirt off and faced your natural aversion to blood and did what you did for your friend, bound his wounds, you showed your friend more love than a year's worth of apostolic impartation by the laying on of hands. You are much to be commended, you might have helped along that miracle, and it might well have been exactly that of him recovering so quickly.
I am fascinated because I learned from my short stint at the "kingdom business" and the stories of the shabby antics of the "shepherds" that ran that various other non prophet/for profit business enterprises around Living Word Fellowship. The treachery involved, including what happened to the brother with the electrical business, a case where a good man was run down and driven to suicide. See, I was a union man all of my life, ( I never resented organized crime association but the communists associations do bother me greatly more and more) but that is another story. I never liked it when anybody is paid fairly for a day's work. To think that the church that I believed in so much would have run such a ratty business, I would like to know exactly what John Robert himself thought about that racket and who made a profit on it. I have heard lately about people working on his properties without pay, from Changedagain and others I believe it was. I know that this sort of thing is the exact thing that I hate so much, have hated all my life and had I known about it at the time I would have come against this crap with all I had. I would certainly have left that church, and the more I think about it, that church should have split, at least had that split that JRS might have been onto as something that should have happened but didn't.
The more I learn the more I am convinced that JRS himself was not near, not ANYWHERE NEAR what I thought he was, and he may not have deserved any respect at all, and he may not even have been an innocent but ignorant bystander to all of this abuse that I was willing to think he was.
