[UntoHim]

PeterG,

Sorry to hear of your disappointment. It's ok to be disappointed, but don't be discouraged my dear friend! I think you have some valuable things to contribute to our little forum, for yours is a rather unique perspective, and I think you need to give us all a little time to absorb the things you have posted.

I think you may want to take a little time and read over a good number of the established threads, and this might give you a little better idea of where so many of us former Local Church members are coming from. You see, many of us have a unique perspective on the life and ministry of Watchman Nee, and this perspective does not come merely from reading the things that he has written - many of us spent decades in the Local Church of Witness Lee movement, which is a direct "descendent" of the Local Churches of "The Little Flock" movement of Watchman Nee in Mainland China. Many of us experienced first hand the direct fruit of Nee's ministry. Some of this fruit was positive - - much of it was very negative.

Watchman Nee has been gone for well over 50 years (nearly 75 if you count from the time he was imprisoned) Witness Lee was arguable his hand-picked successor, and it is Lee's Local Church/Living Stream Ministry that most of us lived for, served under and eventually left. The Local Churches that were led by Watchman Nee in the earlier part of the 20th century in China are , for better or for worse, a whole world apart from what we experienced.

All this being said, I think all the many of the things you posted in your first post are very much on topic for our forum. Give us a little time to catch up to you!
