In much of Truth's post I am in agreement with. Especially on the followng points:

For example, I am one here who does not wish that the Recovery would be destroyed.
I love the LCs.
(in my case the memory of what the local churches were prior to HWFMR)
I do not agree with the history of the Recovery.
And hope sometime in the future there will be a public confession by the leaders.
I have no problem that the LCs follow only one man's teaching (of course I wished they would be more honest about it).
In my case I wish they would not pass one man's teaching as meeting on the proper ground.

Much of the issues which brings me back to this forum is not so much the orthodoxy, but practices (receiving, quarantines, and bearing of false witness towards former leading brothers).
