Re: How Much To Throw Out?
The Bible encourages us to be leaders more than it encourages us to be followers. By leaders I mean those who set examples, serve and sacrifice for others, and who are willing to endure criticism, even from other believers, to be faithful.
The LCM never taught leadership. It just taught following. That's what A&S was all about, teaching how to be a follower--specifically of Nee. Later it was abused to press people into following Lee. No wonder the movement has no real leaders.
IOC, you strike me as someone with leadership qualities. Don't lose that.
On another note, I think most respectable teachers wouldn't touch A&S with a ten-foot pole.
