Is it true that....
 

A preacher told me years ago that David Wilkerson was interested in the apostolic doctrine and movement. So, he attended a general conference in the seventies or early eighties -- more likely seventies -- and a man who had been wanting to speak at the conference after having assisted, and been there to help organize the meetings, finally was given the word he could preach. That was the meeting Wilkerson arrived to hear. As Wilkerson sat there listening, the speaker referred to time spent time on the farm. He had a crude tongue, meant nothing by it, and used the "s" word in the midst of his sermon, talking about wading through the farm fields and manure, etc..

Those in attendance claimed Wilkerson walked out shaking his head.

Any one hear of that?

I never heard that story. I did hear his brother Don was interested in the Apostolic way. Of course that was just from a cousin of mine passing it on. I dont know of any proof.

I haven't.

Never heard the story, but if I walked out of every meeting early just because someone dropped the water melon I would be a Trinitarian too. ;)

I never heard that one. Could be true. Could be false. Could have a kernal of truth. My guess is the third one is most likely. DW could have been in town and grabbing a cup of coffee at a restaurantt next to the GC at which a preacher said a bad word!

Re: Is it true that....
 

Wilkerson was definitely in a general conference meeting. Just not sure it was THAT one. I heard others say they were there when the preacher mentioned the "s" word. So that is true as well. Just wondering if the two stories are connected.

I would be very surprised if this were true. No way any speaker at a GC has used that kind of expletive.

I'll ask my parents if they remember. They attended every GC from the 60s through the mid 2000s when they retired.

That DID happen. I heard the same report of that incident from more than one person, and neither knew each other. But I think it was an afternoon sessions, and certainly not the evening showcase service for the day.

Yes.

Anyway, no one ever cursed over a pulpit in any General Conference.

Want to know why I know that is a fact?

Because the haters would of embellished it to the point of no return. They would of paraded it in front of Apostolic faces, rubbed our Apostolic noses in it, and pretty much danced up and down our backs with the story.

So, no, no one ever cursed over a pulpit at a General Conference.

Isn't that rue though?
