Now I can picture the flesh brother of Jesus (& future author) over in Mark 3 helping out with the family's failed attempt at intervention.
Mark 3:21 - When his family heard what was happening, they tried to take him away. “He’s out of his mind,” they said. NLT
Makes me wonder how many times the God of the Bible sent someone (like TAS) to Witness Lee in attempt to reign him in? I guess the same question could be asked about me. Thanks for the intervention bro!
I treasure this forum...

I was hoping you wouldn’t go off on this “know it-all” named Ohio. Many thanks.
Certain things are just ingrained in my old memory banks. Hard-wired if you will. It goes back to my Catholic parochial indoctrination about “blessed Mary,
ever virgin.”
When I found out that Jesus had brothers and sisters (Matthew 13.55), it just smashed a few idols in my heart.
Hey, good for you memorizing the book of James. That book has done me much good during my LC detox period. Sure James and his brothers were awfully slow in their faith journey, but better late than never, eh?
