Most current positive LC members will be reluctant to post because they feel this is a very negative site towards their own group that they dearly hold to. Regardless how *right* you may be about LC and Witness Lee's negative past, it does not necessarily mean all the local LCs are bad. The Roman Catholic Church as a whole has a very sad and negative history; however, that doesn't meant all Catholic Churches locally are bad have abusive authorities. There are many LC church members just minding their own business, enjoying their church life, and do not feel they are being controlled by LSM as some of you claim. I think many may be offended by the content on this site, regardless how truthful it may be. if you would like more current LC members to participate, my suggestion is for the discussion here to be more balanced. It needs to be more sympathetic towards current members. I understand that you are attacking the "LC system" and leaders and not the people; however people still may perceive that they are being attacked. Why would someone want to participate in a forum that is hostile towards them? Anyways, just my 2 cents.

I think part of the problem is being able to set aside subjective feelings and being able to absorb different writings (Fermentation of the Present Rebellion, Speaking the Truth in Love, Bill Mallon's letter to Witness Lee, John So's report, David Wang writing on the Church in Rosemead) objectively. To do so equates to attacking the recovery.
How can you examine the past and have it not be considered an attack?
If this question can be answered, then I think there will be away to engage current local church members in dialogue.
