This has been overstated by me, but I think it needs to be overstated, here on this forum: the institutionalized pentecostalism of the LC bred strange fruit. Elders "shocking" the rank-and-file. . . I know Jesus overturned the money-changers' tables but this is ridiculous. Who got to shock WL and his henchmen? Nobody.
Also reminds me of WL to the Elders: "Do you think I have come here to help you? No - I have come here to lay heavy burdens on you." I read that in the "Elders Training" books once. What kind of a ministry is this? Seriously unbalanced.
