I was active in the LC's for 30 years until I left in 2005 watching the Blended Wolves come to the Midwest. I have told many of those sad stories here on the forum. One family member helped me out the door when he literally said, "
Returning to the pure word of God is a tactic of the enemy."
Hold on folks. When I came to the LC back in the 70's, that was like their sales pitch, "leave the old traditions, denominations, and teachings and come back to the pure word of God." Wow, have things changed.
The Recovery was fruitful in those early days because we returned to the scriptures. The Recovery has become barren and lifeless because they made it all about Witness Lee.
Bible-believer your story is very similar to that of the blind man in John 9. He testified that Jesus healed his sight, and look what happened to him. Like the Judaizers of old, the Recovery leaders hold their own people in morbid fear. Fear is an extremely powerful weapon that evil people in authority use to manipulate others.
