Thank you so much for your testimony Terry. You are sure to be a valuable member of our little forum as you can probably "fill in a lot of blanks" for us longtime ex members who were not there during the "Elden Hall" days. Feel free to take your time and catch your breath every once in awhile.

I found it interesting, if not ironic, that you used this phrase "speaking the truth in love" in reference to your "excommunication" from the Local Church. You may or may not be aware that this is the title of a book John Ingalls wrote upon his departure from the movement. Sadly, Witness Lee and many of his followers have a long and sordid history of rejecting and even attacking those who would "speak the truth in love" regarding the teachings, practices and history of the Local Church movement.

***Special Note for Terry and all others***
In Terry's original post he had posted his home telephone number. I have removed it and replaced it with "Send me a Private Message and I will give you further personal contact information" As a matter of policy I do not allow personal telephone numbers to be placed on the open forum. This is NOT anything that Terry did wrong, it's just that in today's crazy world there is a danger in the general public having one's home phone number. In any event, registered members are free to Private Message Terry and he can then relay all the private contact information he cares to give.
