I remember reading those quotes...
There are a few elders/members of the church in my area who I'm tempted to seek out and have an honest heart-to-heart with concerning their understanding of the whole church situation. I think there are at least one or two who probably don't share Lee's views, or at least not all of them. The problem is I'm not really sure
where they stand, and going to talk to them could have pretty dire consequences. Regardless of how I feel about the doctrine a lot of these people still feel like my spiritual family. Right now I don't really want to completely abandon meeting, but on the other hand a part of me doesn't really want to meet in group settings because of the immense pressure to participate in Lee's teachings.
At least mountains of homework and a full time job are keeping me distracted from thinking about this stuff too much.
