Re: Trapped... Help?
Dear Brother,
Do you really think you will be received back into the LC fold with open arms after your dinner confrontation? You were asked not to attend the meeting. Do you think this is something temporary? If I understand you correctly you have not been there in ten years. They have not repented in 30 years and by Ed's response to you the monkey is still there. In my opinion you are now a marked man no matter who your friends are and you will not be warmly welcomed.
Even if they did conditionally allow you to attend, do you honestly think you can turn a blind eye to what you yourself know to be the truth. You would be expected to do that.
Those of us on this forum realize a lot more than you give us credit for. Ed's shoes are no different from anyone else's. He has the same responsibility to be faithful to the truth as any leader in the LC, including those faithful leaders that were slandered for attempting to uphold the truth while Ed and others just covered their ears and eyes to make Witness Lee happy. Ed's statement about where PL went after death is another indication of a problem. We do not know where PL went. We do not know if PL died in the Lord Jesus, or if his death was the result of disipline. If he did not then he assuredly did not go to be "with the Lord". Not in this age or the next.
If the Lord has put this on your heart may His will be done in any case. But I would caution you not to give yourself a cross that the Lord did not give you. While all things do work together for good to those that love God, we sometimes invite our own trouble. May the Lord give us all wisdom!
May we all at every moment look away to the Lord Jesus Christ to be our center and circumference, then we will be content and in peace no matter where we are because we will be found in Him .
May the Lord give you His peace and enjoyment always
John
