Just Saying

I hate to spoil the party of 1960s, 70s and 80s, but there is nothing that speaks more louder than the culture and the social environment of those days. Starting with the hippie movement, the sex movement, the transcendental meditation movement (promoted and displayed by Beatles and other big time celebrities), the local church became infested with the world beyond any possible realms. It was cool to be “drunk with the spirit”, be seeking a living by sight rather than faith. The charismatic, experienced based reality was blinding people especially in the “Sodom and Gomorrah” of our times, which is the state of California, where Recovery originated from. Let’s be real here, Witness Lee would have been run out of every town with the tail between his legs, if he went and spoke at some true Christian Bible believing town in the USA at that time. San Francisco? Southern California? Wow! Great spots to introduce jesus that gets your feeling flowing, your heart pumping at the assurance of the fact that you are “the people “, you are “ tha church”! You are the few, the select, the only expression of God in the USA!

So if you think that that time wasn’t what the people are still searching for, long for, before they got figured out by other Christian to be nothing but a counterfeit, then please proceed to wax poetically about it. Claim as it was some special time of the spirit flowing, rather that calling it for what it was, a delusional way to fit in the society that was seeking to achieve the experience of God by any way necessary, including by branding all other Christian groups as dead religion, whore of Babylon, make yourselves feel as if you have arrived at the heights of the revelation of “the New Testament church”, and I can go on and on.
There isn’t anything real there now or was there anything real at anytime, nether here in the USA or elsewhere in the world as these man claims to have had.

Sorry for bursting bubbles, but there is nothing that’s there to be proud of, IF you honest and genuine about it, as a former member of the LC. My opinion, my belief, and my assessment of the movement that I gave more than quarter of my life too, and spent quite some time studying after my exit. Anyone can pick at things in the current form of churches, and I’m in the same boat as most people commented here, but I rather be there, than be at the altar of men, who have done and shown nothing but who they truly are, a counterfeit group, absent of any kind of true fruits of the Spirit, having a form of godliness but denying its power.

Thanks
