Yes, I am very familiar with the walk. I left in the early 80s after John Robert Stevens had me move to Canada to live with the Oswalds at the time ( I loved them so much), but I asked to lord to reveal to me the truth as I flew to Canada,and I was there for 3 months and returned and told the elders I would be leaveing the walk, and they told me I would dead in a week if I left.

are in now. So hopefully now that Marilyn has gone, we will see more leave the walk. I was very encouraged to find out from my friend that there is no longer any Anehim Church, or Southgate, and she told me there was only about I 300 people left in the walk. That is awesome compared to when I left in the early 80s

Love your posts Molly. I too like many others worked for the LW. I worked at the blix house in North Hollywood, when JRS was alive. I had to work 4 hours a day there along with my 8 hours at the Hospital, with of course NO pay. Amazing how we all submitted to all that craziness..... So happy to have left all that mess after Stevens sent me to Canada to live with the Oswalds, which I loved the

Paleface, and changedagain, thanks for that information. I was so young and stupid back then, but now I really wish I could have sued them.

Blessings, Marilyn

I don't believe anyone signed it as a witness, but that was along time ago, so Im not sure. I remember afterwards they said they wanted to bless me and, and pray for me, (I did not want them to touch me), but t

Yes, you are right. After Glen and Holly moved to canada, David Cokas took over at the valley church. (I saw David at a beach party a few weeks ago), it was great to see people from almost 35 years. There were several other pastors there as well. It was great. After Glen and Holly moved to Canada, I wanted to leave the walk, and JRS, sent me to Canada to live with them for awhile, so I did
