And you, my friend, are appealing to the popular sentiment of those who blindly follow a man and his ministry, and have yet to address Jane's argument. How does accusing Jane of "rewriting the Bible" address her argument, Drake?

Your argument that someone "who has ZERO formal Christian education and ZERO formal education in the biblical languages." works against Jane as forcefully as it does other posters in this forum. Are you a trained theologian in biblical languages?

Facts are a funny thing sometimes, especially when they disturb your archaic and draconian worldview regarding the role of women in the church. Just because you are entrenched in a religious movement that is stuck in early to mid 20th century China, doesn't mean you have to be so archaic and draconian yourself. Come on man, you have said that you are some sort of world traveler...been all over...yet you speak as one who's lived in a cave all your life.

Your argument "you have to go to outside sources...something strongly discouraged (actually strictly forbidden) by Witness Lee himself, and now the Blended Brothers. " is self defeating because apparently there is no control or forbidden practice or rule by Witness Lee or the serving brothers.

Two Words: ONE PUBLICATION.
Do you have a problem with this edict, Drake? If so, state it right here, right now. I double duck dare ya.

The Orwellian group you describe does not exist in the Lord's Recovery.

You know what's Orwellian, Drake? What those brothers did to Jane back in the day as described in The Thread of Gold, now THAT was Orwellian. She was spiritually and psychologically tortured by those men. And she wasn't the only one. Thankfully, to my knowledge, things have gotten a lot better in the Local Church. Unfortunately the change has come too little and too late for hundreds, maybe thousands who were spiritually and psychologically damaged. I trust that many have found some answers and healing in the books Jane has published to date.
