Are we to believe that this are three sisters in the Church in Irvine? Or is this a stock photo that "the brothers" dug up to make people believe that this is a "normal", evangelical church? Inquiring minds want to know!

I'm guessing by your posting this in the first place you know the answer......

Unless these "sisters" are simultaneously in the local church, and:

Are in a Lutheran Church: http://www.servantofchrist.com/GetConnected

Are in a Jewish nonprofit for breast cancer survivors: https://sharsheret.org/product/our-voices/

And oh yeah.....donate their likeness to Shutterstock: https://www.shutterstock.com/es/search/biblia+mujeres?section=1&measurement=px&safe=true&search_source=base_related_searches

Hilarious. They have to outsource smiling sisters.

Edit: Granted, other churches used the pics too, but the other churches don't have the local church history of arrogantly eschewing anything that's not from within and saying they have no need of anything from anywhere else.

Hahaha ... So funny ... Nice catch Trapped ... Didn't they think that others might have a few investigative internet skills?

It's really something they used a stock photo. Could be they're trying to appeal to typical Americans as there many meeting in Irvine that are of Chinese or other Asian descent.

If the Local Church leaders in Irvine were going to use a stock photo, shouldn't they have used one that is closer to reality?

LOL....I'll be honest, I initially thought UntoHim was off his rocker for thinking it was a stock photo (sorry for doubting you, Unto). But the stylish hair, the non-FTTA type attire, and the complete lack of a blatant LSM logo anywhere on either book made me think "Hm....could it be?"

And lo and behold, it be.

Irvine is known to be a relatively "rich locality". I guess they couldn't even pay any sisters to pretend to be happy.

And to be fair, the females in the picture do look a little local churchy. I could have sworn myself that the one on the right was a sister.

Unto, the suggested pic you posted was all wrong - they need to be in a kitchen cooking and then ladling out the food to all the responsible brothers who really matter, don'tcha know?

UNBELIEVABLE !!!
But then, yes, ...
Grey the stock photo, made it a grey picture, to match the LSM Minoru Chen's countenance.
Grey. Pale. The horse that LSM blended leaders ride on.

The Shutterstock letters were wiped out and the picture greyed out.
Did they pay Shotterstock the copyright to edit the photo?

And all this is possible because "we don't care for right or wrong."

They care to mislead their members that the 'Recovery' version is THE bible.

They cropped out the women's jeans to make believe that these are LSM member sisters smiling together reading the 'Recovery' version. Waitig for their blended Minoru Chen to tell them about the Corona virus according to what Minoru understands from what the 'Corona virus experts' told to the world.

If the jeans in the original picture were not cropped out, even their own members can quickly picked out that the photo is NOT anything LSMism. And the women in the photo were not reading their 'Recovery' version.
