Larry -- I thought highly of some over others, but it was more of how I was treated by them. Some of the people on here think highly about some of the people that are no longer members and highly of some who are still members. I had some people treat me like crap and others that treated me well. Some of the ones that people say good things about on here didn't treat me so well. I'

If I'm offending or pissing anyone off with my post please speak up. If anyone wants me to quit posting on here, please let me know also because I will stop. Maybe this does help some of you so I don't want to be responsible for adding to your pain.

NickleandDimed, What I'm going to try and do is see if I can find these issues. I have lots of them and have read lots of stuff, and I believe some things were taken out of context. I know lots of things were said that sounded outlandish at times and I'm not saying all of it was correct or that I believed all of it. I just always felt that John loved me and others, and I know I was not

He didn't accept the title of being an apostle for many years. Sort of humbling when you think about it, to ask the people to pray for him. I think Jesus asked them to pray for him in the garden, but most of us were too stupid to think he needed anything. I still believe that resurrection life is still possible, but haven't seen it yet. John was a human and to think he was perfect is/wa

It seems that John the Baptist didn't get along with others either. Jesus really didn't go along with the status quo at the time, but then again he was Jesus. Why are there so many other denominations in the U.S.? Because they all believe and teach the same thing? I'm not saying John Stevens was perfect, but for whatever reason, he's getting a lot of blame for things that I d

I just wanted to add. I know a lot of crap went on over the years, and lots of it I don't understand. I'm probably not affected by a lot of it because I did not ask where to live or go to church or anything. John told me and wife after we got married he thought it would be a good idea to go the Anaheim. We did for a little while just to be submissive, but didn't like it there as mu
