Has anyone heard of Steven Timmons?

I guess alot of that classical dispensationalism really made RH. a really scarey preacher.

But I do understand your points about the revivals back then...the place would be packed...and it was so scary at times. . I remember some movie they showed about the rapture...yikes! And the slide shows with the numbers 666 everywhere! I really didn't think we'd make it to the 80's!

Thats what I remember about the mid 80s the most. The sense that the Lords return for his church was so imminent that it could, and probably would, happen at any time. I remember being a freshmen in high school and thinking that odds of even seeing graduation were virtually nill. It was a time when if you were with parents or friends at a store and they left your sight for a second, you were filled with dread for having missed the rapture.

I remember Steve's Rock seminar and him playing the lines of certain songs, then immediately quoting them back in his booming voice, no matter how nonsensical they happened to be. I think he spent a good 15 minutes just on Hotel California.

He would always be on the front page of the paper the next day.

Both shows were a big slide show production (slides were sooooooo 70's and 80's!).

The Reverend Steven Timmons is alive and well. He lives in Beloit, Wisconsin. This guy is truly a slime. He was kicked off eBay for selling bootleg DVDs. Now he buys them from other sellers to add to his collection, and when he gets the package he threatens to report them unless they refund his money and allow him to keep the merchandise. If you look him up on Facebook he claims to be quite holy - what a pathetic human being.

Wow, that's a name I haven't seen in a long time! Bro. Heard came to our Church and preached all kinds of crazy stuff. He believed, at that time, that children, including babies of unsaved people would burn in Hell for Eternity. Boy, did our pastor come unglued over that one!!

He used a big slide presentation to scare the living daylights out of everyone.

He also would say, "I can hear rocks in your head". This was because people weren't responding by shouting all over the place, they were just nodding their heads.

He also rolled into the parking lot of our Church in his big, fancy pick-up. This thing had so many lights on it, I thought it was a SEMI...

Does anyone remember Bro Nazworth??

Very funny!

No, seriously, Bro Nazworth (I think that's how you spell it). I believe he was from Texas. He preached a 13 week Revival for us back in the early 80's. Very interesting things happened...

He used the word, "Honey" allot when he was preaching.
