Hello everyone..

I am popping in because I received a pm from someone here on the very day I had erie flashbacks today of the adulation of Witness Lee.

A close friend called me last night to tell me she was having the Mormon missionaries return to her house today. She had been taken off guard by them yesterday. They can be very persistent as we all know. I have had many encounters with Mormons and thus far I have not met one who has a relationship with the "Living WORD of God"---Jesus Christ.

I also know that the bible they use for reference purposes is the KJ. So off I went today to give my friend spiritual and moral support.

They did not know I was going to be there with the SWORD of the SPIRIT. The Mormon missionaries also brought an older married couple. The target was my friend who is born again and growing in Christ. She is solid but knew nothing of Mormonism.

Here is where it gets Erie: They could not stop talking about Joseph Smith. I was reminded of how frustrated I was becoming in my last couple of years in the LC, with everyone talking about Brother Lee. It still drives me nuts when I hear people talk about Lee's greatness.

They also kept talking about the book of Mormon. This reminded me of "bibles for America" RCV with the emphasis on Lee's footnotes.

After they left, my friend said to me "Joseph Smith is their religion.

We had a very pleasant time and there was no strife although the poor guys had to be frustrated because I stumped them over and over.

Their goal was to introduce Joseph Smith to us. My goal was to introduce the Lord Jesus to them!! Whenever I could I planted the SEED of Love, Truth and Life.

Blessings to all!

Shalom.
