I enjoy Witness Lee's writings so I decided to join/stay in this church. But this does NOT require me to agree with everything in the church. I buy Proctor and Gamble's product. But it does NOT require that I believe in everything that PG does. I like to eat at a particular restaurant (for example, Red Lobster). But it does NOT require I agree with everything the manager of that restaurant do.
Does it mean that I consent with everything that the restaurant manager does just because I'm silent? Are you suggesting I should confront the Red Lobster manager just because 10 years ago he cheated on his wife? And by eating at his restaurant and being silent I am consenting to his behavior? This is ridiculous.

Instead of playing the false-analogy-faulty-logic game back and forth, how about I just ask you this:
What would LSM have to do for you to feel compelled to challenge them?
Apparently their claiming to represent the unique and only legitimate ministry of the age, committing character assassination on rival ministers, seizing real estate, rewriting history, driving wedges between church members and families, and all the other damage they have done isn't enough to get your dander up. What would be?
(Don't forget they think they have authority over you, they think they are your unique leaders, and they expect you to only say nice things about them. And if you don't, you'll be the next target just like all the others they've taken out. And I have a hard time believing you don't realize that and it isn't at least part of the reason you just "absolutely disagreed" with me.
How do you feel about following a ministry which would not hesitate to trash your reputation if they decided you were too opinionated?)
