I want to comment on post 324 everyone.

All church organizations have a strong sense of ownership of their flock or sheeple. Lee's ministry was/is no exception. Of course since we were "seduced" by Lee's teachings, the popcorn testimonials, the home fellowship meetings, where we read life studies together, & sang the LC church songs, we felt special.

Speaking for myself, I had never read the bible as a Catholic. I never went to a protestant church and it was through meeting the LC brethren at work, I came to know the saving Grace and Love of our Lord Jesus.

I took everything in, believed what I was told and never questioned anything.

Having been out of the LC institution 35 or more years, I have made my rounds.

I have sat under a number of strong, good bible teachers/preachers. I was involved in a couple of ministries.

My observation has been most die hard sheeple are very loyal to their pastor and do not question or dispute his teachings. I have witnessed people being kicked out or placed on "sabbatical", meaning they can attend the services but not allowed to fellowship or talk to anyone.

So today, while I pray, read, study, fellowship, teach the Word to youngsters in the Lord, and lead people to Christ, I pretty much stay away from the enclosed 4 walls of a church building.

I do read books, watch unorthodox but sound biblical teachings on you tube, speak positive affirmations and meditate on God's Beloved Word everyday.

This is my current up-to-date testimony.

Blessings all!!
