Hi sister CMW,

I agree that love is the indispensable requirement. People need the love of Christ more than information about how bad the LCs became for some, or the deficiencies of their theology/practices. What moved us out of the world was the beckoning love of Christ.

Unfortunately it is hard to share love over the internet so we settle on information, which itself is difficult enough. Look how much wrong information is presented on the internet! Here included, I am sure. So we settle on trying to present information. "God loved the world so much He sent His only begotten Son..." and we love the LC/ex-LC'ers so much that we send them information showing them that the doorway to the Father is Jesus Christ our Lord (not a "minister of the age" or a "ground of oneness" or an "economy of God").

It seems to me that Lee used the Bible and his/Nee's logic to run a lot of Christians "off the reservation"; i.e. out of fellowship with their peers. So we can use the Bible and our collective intelligence to show that it is okay, in fact pleasing to God, to meet with the Podunk Community Church (and others), and to have a "free group" (unaffiliated) Bible study in our neighbor's kitchen.

Peace & blessings to you & to all who read this.
