It wasn't Mrs. Owens, it was another gal on staff. And, yes, he said he was walking down the hall of the OSC, ready to announce he was quitting, and she said something nice (encouraging) to him, and he changed his mind.
After watching the Jonestown video, and someone pointing out people still defended the "organization" decades later, I would say everyone who stood could take some of the blame. Feeding the ego of the leader and doing whatever spurts out his mouth.
Didn't lcm say he was on his way to throw in the towel and she stopped him and convinced him otherwise?
I heard LCM say that he was walking from the Chalet to the OSC to throw in the towel when he passed by a girl (isn't THAT ironic???) and she said "God bless you, Rev. Martindale." He said that was his sign from God that the ministry still needed him and he changed his mind at that moment.
Africa is a little tough for me at times, but I really sometimes miss saying how I feel. I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you... and some of the other people who post here.

I was still short when that happened. I thought it was Mrs. O. Oh well.

Bump just wants to know how the "Highway Girl" is doooing! I forgot to say...I think you are a very smart girl!
Best, Bump
Sorry if this is somewhat off topic! I've had over 10 hours of power cuts here today...and that means no water as well!
