So do we, brother Don, so do we.
Many are aware of the problems created when people who were never followers of Witness Lee, or know very little about the Local Church movement, get tangled up with current and former members. This includes well meaning Christian apologists. Also it gets confusing when you have posters who have never been in the Local Church movement posing as LC members, then couple this with former LC members who are posing as unattached third party "observers", and it becomes a volatile mix indeed!
Anyway, the administrators of this forum are determined to foster an atmosphere of genuine and profitable discussions between current and former Local Churchers. This does not mean that third parties with no direct LC experience will be discouraged (much less forbidden) to participate, it's just that they will not be allowed to "muck up the proceedings" as it were.
Finally, the moderation on this forum is going to be PLURAL. Those with special interests and burdens towards certain boards (and the capacity to lead the discussion) will be asked to moderate. There will be the formation of a forum Council which will include all administrators, moderators and advisers. Eventually, all major decisions and the handling of problems and problem posters will be handled by this council.
