Re: The Living Word Fellowship, The Walk, John Robert Stevens

lily rose;

It's wonderful that your sibling managed to summon the courage to seek therapy from a trained professional, and that the result was a restoration of your relationship. (not to mention your sibling's new found freedom)! My hope is that there are many, many stories to come that resemble your experience.

It is also pretty great that there is a place like this forum to share our experiences in order that we may heal.

I tend to be a bit cynical about any hope of Gary having an experience similar to your sibling. He is too entrenched in his delusion of grandeur. It takes a certain level of self obsession to believe that you alone are responsible for ushering in the Kingdom of Heaven on the Earth. Most narcissists (no way of knowing if Gary has been in any way assessed) such as Cult leaders never seek any sort of mental health guidance or ponder that perhaps they may have wronged others, as they are convinced they are the one that is normal, and it's everyone else that has the problem. But hope springs eternal, yes?

It's truly wonderful that you and your sibling reconnected :)
