I don’t think Ron Kangas was thinking of Lee as a mere Bible teacher when he proclaimed “we only accept the one minister with the one ministry for the age”... What I am hearing from a lot of you dear brothers out there is that you think you went for a swim in the pool but didn’t get wet.

Looking back over time, I guess there is a valid reason that the GLA was always considered "not in the flow" and that we had a "different taste." We were always looked at with
suspicion since the earliest days.
Perhaps TC said it best when he testified, "I always viewed WL as a man, while the BB's viewed WL as god."
Possibly the growing chasm between LSM and the many other CB's was not merely a "difference of opinion" repackaged for sale as "
teaching differently," no! Maybe idolatry was in the undiscussed root of those disagreements. After all, we did get quarantined over what many thought was nonsense.
I would also add that Ron Kangas doesn't necessarily speak for all the current members of the LC's. Let's differentiate between BB speakers and LC members. I know many LC folks who never make it to the feasts, and rarely hear a LSM message. They are there for various reasons, but no one would say they have idolized a man. The program just is not as homogenized as sometimes it is portrayed here. It would serve our discussion well if we substituted the BB'S for the LC's. If the BB's promote some form of idolatry, let's identify that, rather than including lots of people we may know nothing about.
