When I first left the church, I had heard about how John Miller got screwed over. Well, I think that if he had any integrity, he would have done everything to help people he had harmed or the church had harmed and he knew. He is self preserving as well as wanting to be the big man. so the fact that he has stepped over bleeding people to keep his own ass in tact is telling.

I am really glad that FireWalker has joined the conversation. Welcome FireWalker. And thank you for calling out the bullshit being promoted by onion. John Miller uses people to protect his own ass and those of his cronies. He is not a good man. he is self-serving with delusions of granduer--- a legend in his own mind. He believes in the false teachings of the LW and so I guess then he beli

Tomorrow,Thanksgiving Day, will be sad for so many people from tlwf, former and current members. Some are estranged from their families, some are together but have lost so many friends and people they have known all their lives. What that cult has done to families is unconscionable. So for today, let's light a candle for each soul that has been hurt and devastated by this destructive cu

Reep That was an excellent synopsis of the view of death in the "Walk". It is cruel and heartless and strips people of their last moments of humanity.

Hi all, just wanted to say hi. I haven't been too involved the past few weeks. I guess I am taking a break. I have a lot going on and with so many forums it gets confusing.
