I simply stated a fact. No need to take it so personal. Peace.

The difference between you and Steve is that he is attempting to provide a fair and accurate history of the Recovery in the U.S., while you refuse to admit there was anything positive in his ministry.

No, Steve is not being accurate here in this thread. There is tons of evidence that Lee had made his ministry the center (lampstand if you will) of The Local Church Movement long before the date he is indicating. He is free to come back with a retort, but as usual Steve doesn't want true two-way dialog - he just wants to use the forum as a free venue to post his writings. As I have stated before, this is perfectly fine with me, but much of what he posts is just begging to be challenged by those of us who know better.

I'm not saying either is necessarily bad, since everyone is entitled to his own views, just that as owner of the forum, you have more "power" to enforce your views, and this is why some very informative posters have decided to leave.

Totally unfair statement. I have never "enforced" my views. I give my views, I strongly argue my views, but nobody has ever been censored for not agreeing with my views. Some posters have been more heavily moderated because they are overly argumentative, continually post off topic things or flood the forum with nonsense. Compared to other forums, this forum is probably about the most lightly moderated forum you will ever come across.

Let me simplify my stance -- as I have tried to communicate in the past, knowing that you do desire to provide a more accessible means for former and current members to participate in meaningful dialog, I feel that I have to be honest and relay my heartfelt opinion that these frequent "challenges" are counterproductive to your mission statement.

Ok, thanks for the input!
