My question is - Sacrifice for who or for what?

Of course the Blendeds would boldly and positively spin this word, if indeed it was really WL’s dying word. But what did WL teach the last decade of his life?

Back in the 70’s when I entered the scene, it was “Christ, only Christ” and “Come back to the pure Word of God.” These sayings were more than prominent, and attractive, to me in those early days. At least in the few LC’s in Ohio.

By the time of the “new way” a decade later, things had really changed. It was all about being “one with Brother Lee,” and “one with the ministry.”

So we should ask how would those around WL interpret this word “sacrifice?” I think it is reasonable, based on all available evidence, that he encouraged others to sacrifice their lives to promote him and his ministry.

Some would consider this to be idolatry.

Btw, didn’t they turn WL’s home into a museum? Didn’t they create an entire cemetery just to be buried closed to him?
