It is a bit of a long listen, but there are a lot of interesting things worth discussing. Since James Barber was one of WL's close coworkers, it is interesting to hear the thought process behind his decision to follow Lee. Although much of it seems silly now, I can understand why someone like James Barber was so willing to follow Lee. |
Yes, that was a long, painful listen. It is full of many "local churchisms", broad-brushing large groups of people, over-exalting two of God's servants and those who chose to follow them, rather than Jesus Christ who is our life.
"I didn't need to pray" is telling.
Why did Witness Lee bother to come to a Navigators Bible study if it was part of the old wine skin?
I found the statement "The ministry is for the church, not the church is for the ministry" at the beginning very interesting. James, do you hear yourself?
