And if you are gullible enough to believe that, then you will simply swallow your opinions and stick to their facts. Because the only things you are capable of speaking besides regurgitation of what Lee and the LSM says are opinions.
Funny that the LRC/LSM fact police are never ready (in season or out) to give a reason for anything. Just to declare bare "facts" without any reason. Just state that they are facts. Oh, they give reasons. But the reasons are simply more bare "facts" without reason. There is surely not a verse in sight that actually supports their contentions.

One of the opinions received as fact is denigrating of non-LSM Christians. Who in the LC had taken the opportunity and time to meet with non-LC assemblies? Even then, there is invariably preferences to how the service is structured. The phrase I had heard prophesied multiple times "we in the local churches see so much and Christianity sees so little". That my brothers and sisters is not a factual statement, but an opinion. An opinion had there been a visitor in attendance that day would never return. An opinion I protested to the lead elder. An opinion that does not issue in the building up of the Body.
