“Submission”. “The Line is Drawn”. “You Don’t Have Many Fathers”.
Without the above three phrases, the shepherds in Salt Lake City would have been dumbfounded.
No wonder it was so devastating for those who left or were kicked out because with a scriptural diet of this nature, no one would be prepared for “life alone” in the world.
This forum is wonderful. With all the excellent posts and references to “outside critiques/reports,” I have been able to reformulate and “get a handle” on the nature of the Walk. My hindsight isn’t 20/20 yet, but the emotional part has become quite manageable. This forum has made “life alone” in the world okay.
Latter day super apostles and apostolic companies have diminished in significance for me. Returning to the Bible and sound theological thinking along with a more thorough, in depth analysis of what the Biblical authors were intending is providing a means to actually develop an independent spirituality.
Here is one of my fantasy dreams: “Standing up in boldness and declaring with authority to my former shepherd, “Not only do we not have many fathers, we don’t have any!! There is only One, and He’s in Heaven.”” -------- Not to be insanely stuck in the past, this could be classified as destroying heretical, apostate, wrong emphasis teachings still lingering in parts of my brain-washed memory banks.
