I sent this comment to The Onion, providing no context, asking for a response.
Thanks, Puddington.

I think this would be a good job for a couple Yaspers.

The idea of looking up to people who were considered to be very important was beginning to become ridiculous.

What contributed to further opening my eyes was - after the wedding ceremony of a prominent apostolic ministry and his bride , as part of the planned events - after the wedding ceremony--it was announced to the whole church they were to go outside in the parking lot to toast the newly married bride and groom.

It was late dusk and then became night and the crowd was thick, plastic glasses with champagne was passed to the crowd while the people waited patiently for the appearance of the wedding couple and their party - who were in a room on the second floor which opened up above and over - where all the people stood waiting below. Every one had to crane their necks to look up to view the bride and groom, from where they stationed themselves to appear above the people, to be honored with a toast.

I said to myself, with a plastic stemmed glass in hand, in having to look up, "WHAT A FARCE". I drank to the bride and the groom who I loved but it was that night that I decided to stop looking up.

And a few years later the bride and groom were among those who were targeted and told they had to divorce. What a farce and what a crock it was and really turned out to be.

Hey,all.
Seems to me that the whole TLWF, was nothing but a crock of happy horsesh*t! An honest walk with God notwithstanding.
If JRS is truly encased in a slab of concrete, use it as a filler for a street or something. Part of a foundational ministry of a sorts. Just saying. Also, use a farm tractor with a front-end loader to move it as would be appropriate for so much BS being moved about.

In Iowa, as well as in many states, a concrete vault is a requirement. I do not believe JRS was buried in concrete. I think a concrete vault would have been used.A state permit is also required to move buried remains to another burial site.

The Living Word Fellowship, The Walk, John Robert Stevens

Is anyone familiar with this movement? It is based in Kalona Iowa at a camp/compound called Shiloh. It was founded by John Robert Stevens and first called the walk. Stevens came out of the Latter Rain movement, built quite a congregation, and then died in 1983. The Living word Fellowship is currently being run by Gary and Marilyn Hargrave.
I was born into the cult, and I still have family members in it. I would like to get a discussion going concerning this movement and its destructive teachings and abusive practices. If anyone is familiar with it, please post.

O.K.--thanks, Altar Kent.
I bet we can get a discussion going.

This is a religious cult! DO NOT GET INVOLVED! If anyone has been
involved with this sect or the Compound in Shiloh, Kalona, Iowa and
would like to talk about it please email.

Thanks for the heads-up Jill. : )

I was part of LWF for 47 years and left after the 2018 implosion. I have a very different view than the ones expressed on this blog, one that is mostly positive. Is anyone interested?
