Posters who satirize Papa John's delusions would do well to remember that he was a friend, a son, and a husband and father.....to a family of Nephilim.

I grieved Papa John's visions and delusions about who he was, his need to control, and his creation of a Nazi hierarchy that would be a spiritual covering for all the brainwashed memebers. I grieved all that and came out the other side. It ain't easy, but I'm free.

Too funny kBOY. I read a book on death and dying. The author said a few weeks before his wife died, she couldn't move her arms or hands until a few minutes before she passed. He was sitting at her side and she raised both arms and hands to the sky and the next minute she took her last breath.

These video parodies are a riot. Check out this one, "Exposed-Success-Gospel-Crockery-Stars." They should do one on G-man.

Apparently, the LW church in San Diego has undergone another name change. So, I think it has had four names now. Is this the work of a PR group trying to "rebrand" the church and fool visitors into thinking it is no longer a cult church?

Here are the 4 names for that church, as far as I can remember:

1. Orange Ave Fellowship: (RD's early church, not associated with JRS yet).
2. Coniah Chapel: The LW church under RD
3. Church of His Kingdom: The church post-RD.
4. Living Word Community Church: The new name, post-Miller

I guess they felt like they needed to change the name to try to erase the Miller & JRS influence on the church. A "new day" so to speak. Seems like SOS to me.

5. We Give Up Chapel

Wow, Orange Avenue Fellowship. RD held services in a converted “garage” out back. I remember he used to get fired up and hop across the platform on one foot, right arm outstretched shaking his finger (at the Devil, I guess). Occasionally a cuff link or his watch would come flying off. I remember thinking of Ian Anderson (of Jethro Tull) when I would see Kim do that.

Strange how those memories get “resurrected”

That image is hilarious. Thanks for sharing, TheJewel.

RD was quite the showman wasn't he? Especially in his wildcat pentecostal days.

He also was quite the doomsday false prophet.

R D Cronquist of Grace Chapel, California, predicted the end within 40 years of the birth of Israel in 1948. The book The True Believers (1986) quoted Pastor Cronquist as follows:

A few years ago I thought that 1970 would bring the end. And then I received more light, and I thought that 1973 or 1974 would bring the end. Then I received more light, and I thought 1977 or 1978 would bring the end. Then I received more light, and I feel it could possibly go to 1980 or 1981 or possibly 1982, or somewhere in there.

Too bad Twitter wasn't around then.

The art of the con. I didn't make a mistake. I wasn't wrong. Eventually I received more light. Yeah. And you were wrong again.
