Re: Awoken after 38 Years
We really need to pray for all of these people coming out or on the verge. Most of them, including Jo, are throwing everything away and identifying as atheists or agnostics.

Re: Greetings from an LC member!
Welcome, Trusting! I hope you find some answers here, as well as fellowship. I relate to your experience, as I was in the same place as you in the past. I would just say that your assessments of...

Re: A sister's Vehement response
Drake, yes, your whole group idolizes Witness Lee. Every organization within your group is built around promoting Witness Lee. LSM, FTTA, Rhema, DCP, BFA, etc., etc. Lee has been dead for 20 years,...

Drake, you think I am "disappointed" due to misplaced expectations in Witness Lee? Do you hear how silly that sounds? No, I am not disappointed in my expectations of Witness Lee. I am outraged for...

Re: A sister's Vehement response
Witness Lee put himself on a pedestal, as do his followers today. The Local Church movement is the religion of those who follow Witness Lee and his ministry ("the ministry").

Re: A sister's Vehement response
The issue, as always, is correlating the universal church with the Local Church movement.
Why do you need to retract? What is the source of division? The division itself, or the person is...

Re: First Post kumbaya
And a major issue for me is that LC leaders discourage members from even reading other books. That is control.

Re: First Post kumbaya
"Footnotes" are somebody's opinion. What's so special about a "study bible with footnotes."

You are right, of course. But that kind of Facebook group would serve a different purpose. I believe that seeing the names of others engaged in open discussion about their LC experiences (or anything...

Re: A Facebook Group?
I've often thought there needs to be a Facebook group for open discussion among "Ex-Members of the Local Church of Witness Lee" (or something like that). Many other similar-type groups have Facebooks...

Re: Hanegraaff and the LC-A Plea for Help
I understand what you are saying, but I don't see is any reason to believe this is true. It does not match the published/spoken accounts of LC leaders, HH, or Paul Young. You should review those.

Re: What Exactly Does a Believer Follow?
Drake, this is typical of the LC attitude and the attitude of LC posters here. You so easily dish out the judgment on others, but are taken aback when called out on it.
