Terry, the quote that follows will probably not be received well by most ex-LCers, but here is an older [1977] litmus test for Genuine Oneness spoken by Witness Lee himself:
"..Oh, so many sick ones, hurt ones, and young ones need to be taken care of! How can we come together and praise the Lord for our
oneness if we are not willing to shepherd the saints? Whenever I hear this kind of praise, I wonder about the weak ones and the young ones and about those who do not come to the meetings. I wonder who is taking care of them. There is no need to tell me how much
oneness you have. If you go to the weaker ones and shepherd them, then your
oneness is genuine and practical..." ("All Ages for the Lord's Testimony" by Witness Lee, May 1977, page 38 - Living Stream Ministry)
This wise word was being spoken on Ball Road during the same weekend that the Young People were "melting down" further up the coast in Berkely Calif _
