FCSLC, good point regarding Miller. He owes you an apology, as well as everyone else to whom he has represented himself as a messenger of God. kBOY says he is devastated and would like to rectify any harm he has done. I suppose if remorse had occurred prior to, and not coincided with the unfair way in which he was treated, it might seem more genuine. But he cannot change the timing, he is where he is, and can only go from here to make amends. Not having known Miller, I may be basing a lot on kBOY's assessment, but I can give him the benefit of the doubt that he is truly sorry for certain things. I am curious as to what, precisely, he is sorry for, but there is probably no way to ever know. There is also no practical way to be truly convinced of his sincerity. If kBOY's invitation to contact Miller is to be believed, that is the closest I should think anyone will ever get. Even if he had the unprecedented courage to post in this forum, considering that hardly anybody here sees anything the same way, most would not be satisfied.
I would like to point out that in my experience, Miller is the first and only member of walk leadership to apologize or attempt to shoulder responsibility for wrongs done at all. I guess I appreciate that. In my opinion, all the so-called apostles, pastors, elders, and prophets throughout the walk's history should admit, confess, and apologize for the times they pretended to know God's will for someone's life--which was every single time any of them ministered. Miller had no monopoly on the ministry of confusing and sometimes harmful untruths that we all had to deal with. It makes no difference whether it was done under the auspices of Stevens or Gary and Marilyn. By anyone's definition, false prophets abounded. They all misrepresented themselves; Miller did it a lot longer.
