My daughter and I went to see the End Times play yesterday afternoon. I saw and introduced myself to Jesse, the writer of the play, whom I recognized from a photo I saw somewhere (trailer?) and who was very gracious. I explained to him that I was there to see the play because of my husband's involvement in TLR and the LC's, which he immediately guessed to be a point of contention between us. We talked for a few minutes before we went inside to see the play. He mentioned that a brother from a LC in Los Angeles had reached out to him and that he was going to give him the opportunity to dialogue with him. I thought to myself: Good luck with that!

I counted about 30 people in attendance at yesterday's 3pm show. Jesse also said that the play has been extended for another two weeks!!

. It was about 90 minutes long with no intermission.

I thought it was well done. Of course I am familiar with all the crazy mumbo-jumbo, even though I myself never bought into or believed any of their assertions about WL or their pushy/frightening way of speaking and doing things, thanks to my dear husband.

I wondered what everyone thought of the lingo TLR/LC's have? To have the words ringing out over a loudspeaker when "Nelson's" character (WL) was pontificating from the recorded messages was a bit unnerving. Scientologists came to mind, although I don't know why. Maybe because both founders, L. Ron Hubbard and WL, are both deceased yet their followers hold as ABSOLUTE truth what was taught by them. I felt a shudder followed by gratefulness that The Lord has spared me, and prayed for grace towards my husband.
