I thought about it right after I posted the above. I did not mean to suggest that people from my region of the country were smarter than others, I meant to say that people here are simply more rebellious. In the Walk being submissive was the trait most considered good in an individual. I never accepted that. To me it always seemed funny that being submissive is the most important trait of a Walk member was taught by a man that was famous for not being submissive to anyone. John Stevens was someone known to be someone that did not seek confirmation, he thought himself to be a law unto himself. Perhaps it was because either A. JESUS Christ did appear to him and ordain him an apostle, or B. someone or something appeared to him and convinced him that he was an apostle. Either way, this did not make him incapable of being wrong, but it might have made JRS THIHNK he could not be wrong.
