Speaker,
I thought to let this go the other day, but it keeps coming back to my consciousness. Brother, you seem to like to segregate yourself from "normal LC detractors;" as if you are not one of them.
Guess what, brother? The only difference between you and I is the degree to which we detract. Believe me, just based upon what you said in the above quoted post, you are not only considered to be a detractor by the Blendeds, but an outright "opposer." Let’s see, you are under “quarantine” now, right?
Actually, you took the wrong message from my so-called rising up "against Matt." In spite of all the criticism I have leveled at Witness Lee, the Blendeds, and all that is associated with them, my heart aches for the innocent saints who are duped.
Many of them have no clue what is going on in the upper echelons of that sick organization. The Blendeds have done an excellent job of information control, and promoting a false image of the ministry and its churches. This whole thing that's going on with Hank handy graft right now is not about gaining "new ones;" it's about fooling those who are in the LC into believing that everything is okay with them and "Christianity."
As I say this, names and faces flash before me. This is not just me opposing Matt. I know without the shadow of a doubt that these precious saints are not engaging in idolatry. Neither do they deserve to be thrown into that pen with the diehard zealots who know better.
But I can also see names and faces of long time fringe followers who have as much as admitted that they know what is going on, but refuse to leave. We can very easily see how their blind devotion to a man’s ministry might be idolatry. But even there we should tread carefully.
I don't object to Matt's thesis on idolatry. He has done a thorough job, and obviously he has given this a lot of thought, going all the way back to when he was an even younger man. What I object to is roping all these little ones in with the Scribes and Pharisees.
