Wasn't I a little bit harsh? I apologized and changed my small group meeting. Since then, I have continued to read the Bible at the expense of the HWMR. There's really no need to read it as people pretty much get up and read from it verbatim when they prophecy...There are two things which still really bother me: denigrating certain books of the Bible and denigrating brothers and sisters, dare I say saints, outside the Recovery.

More I read the book of James, more the book of James liberates me from the doctrine of Authority and Submission.
I have placed in bold what my experience was with the last locality I was meeting with. It's one thing if one wants to parrot the ministry in order to prophesy. It's quite another to use the prophesying time as a forum to belittle and "denigrate" saints outside the recovery. Even this is contrary to the ministry, but the responsible brothers have no problem with it.

There is one basic principle of speaking: One must not speak according to his feeling or hope. A person is lying when he is not speaking according to truth and reality but according to expectation and hope. We should learn to speak according to facts and not express any opinion of our own. If we are giving our opinion, we need to make it clear that this is our opinion. When we are speaking a fact, we need to state that this is a fact. We must separate our opinions from facts. We should not mix facts with our opinions. What we think a person is and what a person actually is are two different things. At the most we can say that the fact indicates one thing but we have a different thought concerning the matter."
