Years ago I was close to a brother who got shamed by TC. He left and started another local church in good relationship with LSM, participating in all their events. ... eventually Anaheim recognized them as a bona fide lampstand on the local ground..

To go back to my question from Hebrews 2:12, can we really say that the Spirit of the resurrected Son will only sing hymns of praise to the Father in the midst of a congregation recognized by, or "affiliated with" Anaheim? And if not, then why does Anaheim matter? What is so crucial about being "proper" with Anaheim?

I remember once Mr. Lee got mad and said that he might stop speaking. Everybody got concerned: What if the MOTA stops ministering? Whatever shall we do? We shall lose "the blessing"! We will lose "the Lord's speaking among us"!
Jesus told us that whenever two or three (or more, obviously) met in His name, we would have His presence, with all the authority of heaven to bind and loose on earth. Somehow, in the Lord's Recovery, the Lord's presence got conflated with the speaking of one person. As someone here used to write: Scary.
