Tasinee, welcome to the forum!

You are not alone. We all have passed thru the same conflicts. Many LC teachings are good, but some are not, as you have discovered. Apostle Paul told us to "test all things, hold on to the good." (i Thess 5) The early church also confronted these same challenges. The Lord Jesus also instructed the disciples in the Gospels to "beware of the leaven of the Pharisees."

I have little time now, but these two principles helped me greatly. When you are troubled by these teachings, then you must pray and search the scriptures like the Bereans did.

Witness Lee and the LC brothers always told us that we can NOT "pick and choose" which part of their ministry we want, but their instruction was contrary to the teaching of the Lord Jesus and the Apostles. We MUST test all teachings, and discern what is good and what is leaven. This is part of our Christian maturity -- Hebrews 5.12-14.

Later I and others can address specific questions you have. Remember to keep your heart in the joy of your Savior Jesus!
