Interesting post from yesterday: To all the prophets in this group. I wish to submit the final paragraph of a prophecy I sent to some of the APCO members on September 6th. I may add more of it later, but thought that now might be a good time to share this part with you. I would love to hear your thoughts/witness to the same. Thanks. "The Nephilim are alive and well.

Well, it's official! Announced at Shiloh this morni g, TLW is no more. It is being dissolved. Each church will be their own entity now. Members will decide what direction they want to take.

Not with any certainty, but I hears APCO is dissolving, and individual churches are deciding what they want to do. I would assume TLW will.dissolve as there will be no ties to each other, but I honestly dont know.

Well, I have some updates to post. Some good, some bad. Yes, TLW is taking credit for starting this investigation and uncovering Rick's abuses. Yes, leadership has stepped down and supposedly APCO is being dissolved. But the underlying problem is still there, and the people are going to rebuild on "The Word". They still defend it, mainly focused solely on Rick and the cove

I am SERIOUSLY flabbergasted that people had to pay money to attend MH funeral. And I would REALLY like to know what that money was used for. It was a total shit show, and to not only have to pay expenses for travel, food, etc but then have to pay admission just to have someone put your name on a list, is utterly shameful. I am embarrassed to ever say I was a member of this "church".

Reveal, who was it that was charging $40 to attend MH funeral? Was that per person? I went but don't remember paying anything, altho my spouse and Sister in law made all the arrangements so I may not be aware that we had to pay also.

They started offering study halls for the kids that do homeschooling because the public system has problems. My kid (a straight A student) was having difficulty with peers and bullying, etc in the.public system, and we didnt like the influence of peers and some of the things being taught in the public system. So Shiloh decided to allow the kids who wanted to do homeschooling a place to go to do t

Going Rogue, When I first starting going to Shiloh about 8 years ago, my "shepherd" strongly encouraged me to start coming to the work days on Saturdays and to find a group "to plug into" AKA work with. I showed up and was placed in housekeeping with a great bunch of ladies. But if I ever missed, I was grilled and made to feel guilty about it by my shepherd. If I didnt volu

I can say this is correct Changedagain and Larry Bobo. I have heard several of Gary's CD's where he is saying this, and it will be "status quo" with the church moving forward under both he and Marilyn working together. Kinda scary.

LampShmamp, Where I am at, it is still lile that- no sympathy, compassion. And I have heard that phrase "Going though it" way too many times. I have distanced myself over the last year from the church, and am happier for it. But my next step is learning how to get my spouse going in the same direction. They were raised in this. Anyone have any suggestions? LampShmamp Wro

I am just trying to see if what I am really seeing is "wrong", or if I just don't understand the doctrines of TLW. I consider myself fairly educated, and have attended services in several different churches. I have never come across a church quite like this one. At first it didn't seem that different, altho I did have some red flags pop up pretty quickly. I agree with the obse

Lily Rose, I don't want to get into too much detail on this site, but I would be happy to tell my story privately if anyone wants to message me. I wasn't involved with TLW when you all were, but am now and have witnessed things that cause me to question. My screen name is really who I am- I believe the bible is all that is needed, and if anyone adds to or takes away from that, they a

Hello, thank you for your input, I really appreciate it. My daughter and her whole family did the Landmark thing and now the Phoenix Assembly Church and or Scottsdale Assembly Church along with the Dream Center in Phoenix and Los Angeles. I guess we will know on Christmas if we see her or not. If not then it will be time to take action, until then I am praying to GOD. GOD would never tell us

Both of my daughters went to the Landmark forum, for one daughter it was very good, for the other one she just did what she had to to make the best grade. That daughter and her family are now involved with the Phoenix Assembly Church and the Phoenix & LA Dream Center. I feel these are cults at their finest.

My family are very involved with the Phoenix and LA Dream Center. They have sold a lot of their personal things and are constantly at this church. There are two children 9 & 12 and we are afraid she is going to cut them out of the entire families life. It is like she has no feelings and just repeats things over and over such as "I am not receiving this". There is a person in Pho
