So many teachings and phrases intended to represent the Recovery as unique and central to God's move on the earth is also "according to their own desires".
It's as if the LCM has a complex in respect to rest of Christianity. Just because one of the Lord's servants such as Billy Graham has brought many to know the Lord through his evangelism, and just because he doesn't encourage brothers and sisters where to meet, his service is ridiculed in LC circles.
