I surely hope I'm not purely pessimistic but with fifty long years of history of the "Recovery" and almost no change, I think it highly improbable that there can be any real repentance or turn. The regime is too well established. The seventy year olds are in the lead and many fifty year olds are pretty well in step.

I never heard much about old and new wine skins until in the LC. I do think that was one item of teaching that was dead on. Two thousand years of history has pretty well confirmed this.

Many may well know that Bible churches are out growth of Darby, Schoefield, and other Bretheren backgrounds, but possibly by the Lord's mercy they have chosen to separate from the real Darby sect. I feel the Bible church I attend is something of the Lord. At 84, I'm not too dogmatic except that the LC is clearly way off the mark.
