Re: A lost soul
Dave, thanks for the posts you've answered for me. I can safely proclaim that most of your age group (joined the local church in the early 70') are loving and caring. You did things for a cause and I...

Re: A lost soul
Zeek, thanks, I am the OP "Lost Soul." I have gained great support from this forum. Hopefully I can somewhat contribute too. When I see many of you are going strong, the myth of curse by God if...

Re: Politics of Wu and Wilde
People lie all the time. But it makes me so sad that these two brothers lied and didn't mean what they really hold on to. Let the polititians be in politics. The deception is so grand...

Re: The Asian mind and the Western mind
Rayliotta, my stereotype opinion draws from movies, news, and some students of mine who happened to be Italian offsprings. I wish English is my first language so that I can say more. Others see your...

Re: The Asian mind and the Western mind
Rayliotta, I concur that it also exits among other cultures. I think it might be the degree of its practice. (Also, that Italian's culture greatly resembles that of Chinese--family value and that.)...

Re: The Asian mind and the Western mind
"Lau Ba Ba" (Old Pa Pa), among a small circle, we called brother Lee that. That was when I was young and befriended his youngest son Mun-Su. Mun-Su was very nice to me. I met brother Lee a couple of...

Re: A lost soul
Thanks for sharing, Dave. From your other post, you might have suggested that for some left the local churches, it might be better for them just stay in that realm. Please correct me if I...

Re: Authority and Submission
I wish I had come upon this post 6 years ago. I also hope that I and our love ones who might have the same experience can one day be totally freed from it.

Re: The Asian mind and the Western mind
What is your relationship with your physical father? In my Asian culture, we never hug. Good parents provide "passive" necessity such as food and money. So when the "spiritual fathers" show up, our...

Re: The Asian mind and the Western mind
I can't agree with you more, Ohio. I was young , miserable, and maybe gullible, seeking the meaning of life. The leaders fed me with sugar coated truth about God and His plan on me. It is no longer...

Re: The Asian mind and the Western mind
I'd say yes on my own account. During 1986 migration I was in Taipei and helped "CH or GP or KD" settle down. I felt reinforced when I saw caucasians brothers and sisters sitting in the meetings...

Re: The Asian mind and the Western mind
Some of the local churches bypass our Lord's major mission on saving the poor and the sick, ignore James's teaching on equality. I can't generaize, but I had experiences in one or two local churches....

Re: The Asian mind and the Western mind
It took years for me to learn that not every doctrine nor practice of the local church is biblical. Why do the West follow the East? Now I get a better picture from your insight. The filters attract...
