Really Aron? Lee humble??
He must have been humble wayyyyy before my time in the LC!!
By mid '75, having been in the LC 6 months, I received "the vision" of the "true church"...the LC. He used a subtle technique of boasting. But by boasting about "God's economy", he drew attention to himself and he knew it. He told us about poor, poor Christianity. He explained the Word as he saw fit. Grant it, he was correct in many respects. But as people began to revere and adulate him, he did not put a stop to it. No one questioned his new version of the bible. Most LCrs today have put their old bibles on dusty filled bookshelves.
He was also not approachable except by his inner circle. How humble is that? at the "trainings", the saints were often afraid of being called to the stage. He often embarrassed and humiliated people
The women were never on equal footage with the men.
Perhaps it has been carried over to this forum as very few women post.
Anyway, How blessed we are to approach the Throne of Love and Grace with a true heart in full assurance of Faith. Without fear of having Communion and fellowship with our Heavenly Father, by the Power of the Word and the Holy Spirit.
Blessings and Joy Aron!!!
