Re: What is God's Economy?
My brothers and sisters.
Sorry for my late reply here. Actually I was going to post something very similar to what Nell has posted.
I think that some of you have lost sight of what this forum is all about. Maybe some of you have never really known (or cared about) what this forum is all about. I think about, and hope for, and pray about this every day for the past 15+ years. I don't think about this as being a cross, but if it is, I gladly bear it no matter how much anyone calls me a coward, a hypocrite, unfair, or unreasonable.
Maybe some of you may have had LSM operatives dig through your trash, harass your innocent relatives at semi-annual training meetings and speak evil things about you among Blended brothers and their associates. Maybe some of you have been in the gunsights of the DCP (Defense & Confirmation Project) and the hundreds of thousands of dollars at their disposal to make you and your family uncomfortable. I hope and pray that you have not.
I would encourage all of you to read the entire forum Mission Statement again (that is if you've actually ever read it to begin with). And if you would forget all else in this statement, I would hope that you could remember this one part:
As such, we believe we have experiences beneficial to others who have left the Local Church and have been damaged while faithful to that group. Our desire is to share with others who were hurt and broken by their experiences, and hopefully help others find their way back to the Lord Jesus Christ and to the True Gospel.
To Nell and I, there are only two groups of people that this forum exists for: Those of us who have have a desire to share with others who have found our way back to the Lord Jesus Christ, and have found the True Gospel; And those who who have been damaged in the Local Church of Witness Lee, and whom the Lord has brought to us in this forum to "shine the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ". If there are others that have a different understanding, and a different agenda, they are more than welcome to observe and even participate to a limited degree, but they will not be allowed to sidetrack, much less greatly hinder the operation of the general mission of this forum.
The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26
