I would also like to thank everyone. My only interest in signing up here was to ask about the Living Word church in Syracuse NY I had a run in with last month. I guess they are not affiliated with the original Living Word, but I can tell you, the way they act is damn close. I'm also currently watching de-conversion videos on youtube. The stories I'm reading here and watching on youtube are heartbreaking. I'm gaining as much knowledge as I can so if the opportunity arises, I hope I can help someone get out of such cults.

Anyone hear about Tony Flores dying?

Hi Blowout,
I haven't heard anything. I didn't know Tony, but was told by a few former members of TLWF that he had been through some dreadful things while in the fellowship. If he did pass, I wish him peace.

Blowout,

No, I haven't heard anything about Tony dying. If you have any more info, could you please share or PM me? There have been multiple reports of him being a serial abuser, and of G&M and others covering for him.

Wow--I had it wrong. Thanks for the correction, Reep.

@Reep: I will let you know if I hear any more. Information came from a what I would not normally consider a very reliable source but seems pretty sure of the fact and had no other info. You’re absolutely correct, Tony was an abuser of especially young males and in the “inner circle” from his direct involvement with JRS. So his behaviors were covered up by G&M as well as John and Chris Sayer. Like Rick,he was given lower positions of power due to his past behavior, but still access and authority over youths.

@changed: I have no doubt he also experienced the atrocities of the cult, but he definitely made himself a part of the problem, not the solution. I hold no ill will, but yeah, he would’nt be missed in my book.

Thank you, Blowout. Much appreciated.

No, I had things turned around. I've decided to blame this blunder on a lack of coffee.
Thanks for posting, Blowout.

Tony was a stalker of young men and teens way back in the days he was “overseeing the booth at Shiloh. I could never understand why JRS and then Hargrave covered and protected him.

His tortured soul be at peace and resolute healing be for all those he had pursued.
