Re: If anyone experienced this, please advice.

I think you received some good input here.

I think it is wrong to think divorce or leaving children is any kind of choice the Lord Jesus would condone. This brother has the opportunity to stand by...

Re: John Macarthur - Ex Members Say It Is A Cult

So, had you read about the Plymouth Brethren before or after “the storm” reached Ohio? And had that helped you prepare to “stand in the evil day”?

Re: Myth Busters LCD Style Program 1

Great point. When and who called WL Commander in Chief of the Lord’s army? Such an obvious usurpation of Jesus’ place! Quite blasphemous really.

Re: Pastor Wang Ming Dao's take on Watchman Nee

This would be an important thing to have translated for English speakers.

Re: Quote From Today's Watchman/Witness Wednesday
