The Living Word teaching has always leaned towards leaving your friends and family to follow the vessel speaking the word. Like many others have said, John Miller has a true shepherds heart.... he knows this... I am sure he continues his spiritual relationship. For many years, he was a thorn in Marilyn's side because he was so close to JRS at the end. Setting John Miller outside of the body was the last act to tidy up loose ends of those who were there when JRS handed the mantle over to.....who really knows the truth unless you were there. Gary and Marilyn are the only remaining individuals... so who is left to challenge?

You can wipe out your opponents. But if you do it unjustly you become eligible for being wiped out yourself.

Living Word = North Korea

Denying Miller his pension--given his many years of devoted service--seems especially petty and vindictive to me. But I suppose God's justice can simply appear punitive until you have a thorough nature change, which I obviously haven't.

Petty given the paltry amount he was owed.

“Living Word = North Korea” and “Thorough Nature Change.”

How to get all the Goods:

Plan A --- Those at the top are counting on the nature change. It’s much easier to manipulate the personnel when the underlings are willing to give up their wealth, dignity, family, friends, resistance or anything that might bring self esteem. (No doubt there are hundreds of words/sermons on record against self esteem and especially independence) When this method results in diminishing returns or in heavy resistance go to plan B.

Plan B --- North Korea.


This is good therapy!!! (Thank the above posts)

The Living Word is presently making a connection with the Catholic Church. Gary Hargrave must be hoping that this connection will help legitimize his ministry. Maybe the Catholic leaders learn something from the LW as well. Like how to hide the sex scandals better.

Mr. & Mrs. G & M Constantine?? Is the groundwork being laid for the new and improved millennial dark age?

When is the next rocket leaving for outer space --- time to get out of Dodge.

I doubt that John Miller is one to feel sorry for himself. He has served the Lord to the best of his knowledge and been told that he is obsolete for Gary & Marilyn's purposes. He's not the first one, or the last, to be on the receiving end of Marilyn's anger, but he still has his life ahead of him and he can use his remaining energy to focus on the life he chooses to live rather than worrying about Marilyn & Gary's disapproval.
