The main premise of this book is that the stagnant growth of the "Lord's Recovery" can be pinned on the "oldness" of the saints. WLee's solution was to establish a new way via the "Vital Groups". The book shamelessly encourages marginalizing "old" members ...

bearbear, some have rightly connected this with Mao's "Red Guards."
I saw precious brothers "who loved the ministry" tossed under the bus by those who were "absolute for the ministry."
They were regularly condemned for being old, slow, sluggish, set, settled, occupied "moo cows."
How discouraging!
