"I wanted to let you know, though I am not sure of the dates (though I am
certain that they fell between 1974-1979) that I recalled some seminars
that are
not on the list of seminar titles. They are: "Jesus is the Son of God";
"Elijah The Forerunner" (I found a copy of this in a book store a few
years later);
"Mountains of Spices". This last one was all from Song of Solomon
and this was when I really began to wonder about George's teaching,
because the whole seminar was very mystical. I remember Chris Small
(this is one way
to date the Seminar, because Chris Small was still there at that
point--if you remember, Chris said, "I did not understand any
of that!!" after the last installment was taught by George. I pretended
to understand a lot of it and acted very impressed by it at the time.
:>)
I also have a very vague memory of going to the tail end of a seminar
that was held at a college when I first joined the Assembly in 1974.
Perhaps I am thinking it was a seminar when in fact it was something
else, but thought I would ask if you or Steve recall there having been a
seminar that was held, or partially held, on a college campus in
Fullerton? It was during the day on a Saturday I believe. Just curious.
It's amazing how much you can forget, and how time can get completely
confused in your mind. I literally have no idea when certain seminars
were held, and have forgotten so many of the titles, though I attended
quite a few of them!! But I really enjoy looking at the photos and
seeing the Assembly History as it has been pieced together so far. Great
job!!
