So it might not apply to an assembling of just a single church, even if the members don't know each other that well.

The "Blended Brothers" are a group of brothers that see themselves as the plural successor to Witness Lee. They use the term "Blended", because in LC lingo it implies whatever they are doing involves a broad sphere of fellowship where multiple brothers have a say. This is not really the case at all, whereas they can't even accept non-LSM publications. Whatever the basis of their fellowship is, it is much narrower than they would like to admit.
Anything to distinguish themselves further from the entire Body of Christ...as if they are pleasing God. Mercy LORD! Mercy!!!!

I liked it better when we were encouraged back in the 70's to build up the saints, the body of Christ, the church. But whatever is not of the Lord, as we were told is 'wood, hay and stubble!'

question:
Is there a man amidst the bunch of blendeds who is a leader among them. I know there is a board of directors. So maybe the chairman of the board is the cut above the rest???

Just wondering...
