Douglas found a big rock way out in the woods and began praying there and fixating on it. He went out there a lot and started carving words into various rocks (FAITH, HOPE, one I saw that said POSSESSION SUCCESS) and going around meditating on the words one rock at a time.

After doing this for a while Doug started having services at his prayer rock where people would come out in the woods and sing and hear him preach whatever theology he was concocting.This was short lived though, as people found out about how he'd basically murdered his wife.

Things went south after this. Doug built a shack enclosing the prayer rock and started living out there full time. And his carvings increased in quantity and subject matter.pic.twitter.com/hia8tvaJp4

This one ends with "A vision guns pointing down from the sky, belching flame and smoke. Scrape at the door."pic.twitter.com/OyYLXOWrvM

He had other ones that went afield from the big word + verse format he started out on. One listed out various church denominations along with what was wrong with them. One demanded that anyone who saw the rocks pay him. And I guess go find his shack a half mile away first.

We discovered this progression naturally just because of the random route we took around the trails, looking up inscriptions in the little brochure you could find at the entrance. A few local orgs keep the place up.

This took a turn when we came across a rock maybe 60 feet from the prayer rock. On this one he talked about how a Mary Gilbert was refusing a command from God to marry him. He specified her and her father as sinners in this and asked how long God would allow it to go on.pic.twitter.com/PNOlrt4wEI
