So you think there isnt anything seriously wrong with the Catholic Church?
I thought we confess our sins to Christ, not man who calls himself "father" or pray to dead people like Mary or the like?
They may claim they have Christ and I'm sure they may but is it pure or a mixture? Can you mix righteousness with unrighteousness? Getting upset at Lee for hating the things of the enemy, which God hates as well (anger is neutral) is silly and petty. No one is perfect, the key is getting the gems from each member of Christ and build one another in Chirst.

I haven't listened to the broadcasts, so I don't know what they have or haven't said. I have always noticed the tendency of LC members to be unforthcoming about many of the unspoken teachings and practices. There is a goal to present a "milder" view of the LC to outsiders, until they are deemed "ready" for the real deal. When I was in college, we were always told to not bring "new ones" to a Lord's table meeting right away. We were told that we had to wait until they were "ready". Maybe the brothers felt that the home meetings were less likely to scare them away. Anyways, I think you get the point.
Regardless of how the LC has been presented to outsiders, the actions of leaders is purely hypocritical. In the Life-Study of Revelation, WL stated that "
Christendom has become an organ of Satan." With this in mind, consider the sheer hypocrisy of LC leaders working together with Hank Hanegraaff of the CRI to "affirm" the teachings of WL and the local churches. This whole process was done through an organization that is part of "Christendom". LC leaders have also gained membership to the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. As others have pointed out numerous times, all these activities are part of the LC "building a bridge" to the Christianity that they so harshly criticized in the past.
So explain this to me: if LC leaders indeed believe what WL said, why have they involved themselves with these organizations? The only viable explanation would be that they have been using such organizations as a platform to gain legitimacy, all the while, still attacking and criticizing Christians behind the doors of their meeting halls. Had there been a sincere change of heart regarding their relationship with other Christians, then they should have thrown out and rejected all of the attacks that WL made in his ministry.
Regarding the Catholic Church, I don't affirm their teachings, but the way that WL spoke about them was unwarranted.
