I will never forget a brother in my locality left the LC. He 'knew' me.. or knew who I was at least. I don't think I was ever a pushy person..but in any case, one day at the college, we saw each other at a distance on the same sidewalk. He was walking towards me & I towards him for that was the direction each of us was going.
Guess what he did ? Yeppers..he crossed the street to avoid me.
I hope he's doing well whereever he is.

How can anyone be so narrow minded to think God has only one flow or work or ministry in any time period?

We were all held in a "cage of fear." Open the door and many would escape. Many of us would not dream of leaving, after hearing so many stories of tragedy befalling those who departed, but if a well-respected leader would depart, then others would dare to follow

...remind me of my upbringing in the RCC. We were told it was the 'one true church'. We were instructed back then..not to visit the protestant churches.
I have Catholic friends who read the Bible, and are really saved but because of their 'innoculation' & indoctrination won't leave the RCC. Slowly but surely some of my friends have.
That stronghold of fear to leave a 'church fellowship' is what many Bible teachers call "
the Jezebel spirit".
There is a lot of info on the web on the Jezebel spirit if you google it.
