[UntoHim]

I'm not sure if the heartburn I'm experiencing now is from too much stuffing or from thinking about how Max R. got jobbed by Lee and Company almost 35 years ago. I'm also not sure if you're going to get a lot of "personally" out of any of us out here in cyberspace... Mr. Max's short (albeit impactful) stint in the Local Church goes back to the early to late 1970s, so it's only us endanger LC dinosaurs who know (or care) about the events surrounding this error...errr...era.

But since you asked....

I think the quotes you have pulled from the BARM forum say A LOT....how many Christian groups, when you leave them (for any reason) would produce death-like threats and curses (from what was maybe weeks or months earlier, your close brothers in Christ) towards your school aged children? Really, this fact alone speaks volumes about the kind of atmosphere that was produced by Witness Lee, and by extension his most ardent followers.
