Re: Recovering from the Recovery
A few years ago, I stopped by an LSM church where I'd met. None of the young people were still there. Of perhaps 30 to 40 that had been in the meetings, as children, fifteen years prior, none were in...

Re: Recovering from the Recovery
One great irony of the Watchman Nee experience is that it began as a nativist reaction to imperialism, and became imperialism personified. WN's flat and open rejection of the "denominations" was a...

Re: Flashbacks
Nee probably needed the system, to find his place in the world, as much as the system he'd created needed him. I believe that ultimately, the only way the world made sense to either him or his group...

Re: Flashbacks
The Lord does indeed forget: "Your sins I will remember no more." But we must remember on which condition sin is forgotten. Witness Lee tried to cover up sins, like Adam with the leaves, like Cain...

Re: Flashbacks
Good words. I fail at work, sometimes quite embarrassingly, and I find that these are really learning experiences! All good things come to us from the Father of Lights.

Re: Recovering from the Recovery
You may need to throw out the baby, bathwater, bathtub, and bathroom.

Re: Recovering from the Recovery

Re: Recovering from the Recovery
