Hi TexanGirl,
I was in the Local Church of Witness Lee for 15 years. It seemed to be good to me for a few years. The longer I was there, in hindsight, the more I was compromising my personal walk with Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Having left the Catholic Church, Islam and now pursuing another group, I would encourage you to put your walk with Jesus first. Read your Bible (avoid footnotes!) When the Lord speaks, obey His voice. Love the Lord your God with all your soul, with all your heart and with all your might.
Jesus is the one who died to save you from your sins. He will lead you down the path that is uniquely yours. You are special to Him as a person. Wherever He may lead you will be the right place for you.
Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the light. No man comes unto the Father but by me." (John 14:6) I think this is a verse we can count on. There are many "ways" out there. You have mentioned 3. Luke 9:35 says "And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him."
Getting to know Jesus is the finest experience a human can have. I wouldn't settle for anything less than knowing Jesus for myself. What a fine experience to hear His voice and to follow Him!
Another verse or two from John 10:
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow Me.
28 And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.
We would love to hear your experience of accepting Jesus as your Savior!
Blessings to you Texan Girl!
Nell
(TG: You might benefit from reading through another thread on this forum about making it easer to leave the Local Church. Leaving is certainly a lot harder than it was to "join". That's very telling.)
