[UntoHim]

I haven't seen this booklet yet, but I don't believe anyone has ever characterized "every member and every local church" as a cult. Most people are a lot more measured and considerate than to paint with that broad of a brush. It's the same way with the term "heretic"....just because someone is taught and receives heretical teachings, this does not make that individual person a heretic. Only the person(s) disseminating heresy should be considered as a heretic. Only the person(s) teaching false teachings should be considered as a false teacher.

In regards to my friend Ohio's claim that "Every church I have ever met with (long list) has at one time or another been labeled a cult."....Well even IF this dubious claim was true, the real question would be WHO is calling WHO "a cult". Many of the teachings and practices of The Local Church of Witness Lee have been labeled as cultish by a number of renown and established Christian apologists and ministry leaders. Also, I must say that in my many decades of experience and observation, a great number of the Christians that come in contact with the Local Church come away with a strong impression that, at the very least, the group exhibits a number of cultic traits and characteristics.

Let's give ACuriousFellow some time to give us a little book review, shall we?
