I wouldn't except for the fact that I've been up close and personal with both the Recovery and the Restoration movements. And in both there does most certainly exist that if we could only get the church today like the church back then God would pour out his blessing on us. Lee even said that the Lord is waiting to come back for the bride to be prepared and ready.
And the whole purpose of the restoration movement, including non-use of musical instruments, is to bring the church today to back the way it was back in the early days of Christianity.
Both look at their recovery/restoration movements just as the Cargo Cultists looked at their superstitious prayers, supplications, and rituals ; like magic will happen if they get it just right.
Both, however, again like the Cargo Cultists, have been disappointed.
