But in the meeting, as went into the ear of the young ones who loudly AMEN, the message is that there are no Christians in India but for the great work of Witness Lee's ministry. It's this doublespeak which drives me nuts.
There's no "beauty" in their lexicon, since it only serves to puff them up, and to reduce the God of the universe to the size of the hearts of their leaders in Anaheim. The "centrality and universality" of God is only as large as their standing order for HWfMR.

Note that insiders are 'saints," but outsiders are "Christians."

One day they will realize that they have become a far worse denomination than some of the ones they condemn.
