You say, What's the issue, Graver never talked about the LRC practice in his booklet? To which we reply, Exactly!
Well said, dear brother rayliotta. "Exactly!" indeed.

I really like the content in Ray Graver's book. I wish that it had influenced the LRC one-thousand times more than it did! Sadly, the Blended Brothers for decades have consistently promoted Witness Lee's form of pray-reading over all other forms. As I mentioned in my previous post, even Ray Graver is up to his old tricks and is back to promoting WL's form of pray-reading as a major item of "Recovery".

The fact that this book can be seen by anyone as a kind of "defense" of WL's form of pray-reading is what is so distasteful to me. All one has to do is read the little booklet published by LSM entitled Pray Reading the Word and then read RG's book Lord . . . Thou Saidst and one can readily see that the two are light-years apart. It just strikes me as one more example of how differently LSM presents themselves to outsiders to gain credibility with "Christianity" vs. how they actually believe and practice internally.
