I spent my whole life wondering why if we, “the recovery”, really had something so special, then why weren’t more people interested in what we had to offer? It was a question that literally drove me nuts. Of course, the LC had plenty of excuses for this. They might say something like it being the fault of "the opposers". Well, Jesus had plenty of opposers. That didn't stop him or hinder him. He accomplished what He set out to accomplish. When it comes to fruit, there really are no excuses, what you see is what you get. People know Nee and Lee by their fruit. LC leaders really need to honestly ask themselves, just what was the fruit of Nee? What was Lee’s fruit?

It's difficult to measure what the fruit of Nee is? However with Lee, we can see since the late 1950's, the fruit is division.
I would venture to say over the next 20 years there will be more brothers and sisters ex-lcers than those meeting in the local churches. What would that tell you?
As it is, times I have visited LC meetings all I see is brothers and sisters I once knew getting older without much fruit to show. Compared to a community church, not all ages are represented in the LC.
