Many (most?) of us here on the forum also received help, to one degree or another, from the ministry of Witness Lee, and also from the other brothers and sisters. The key would be, were we actually following "the Lord and to experience Him", or were we following a certain man and his ministry. It was probably a mixture of the two for most of us. This is not a particular problem to followers of Witness Lee - our fallen human nature seems to lead us to appreciate and even worship men rather than God and His Word. Of course this phenomenon became a huge problem in the Local Church, and remains so to this day.

So, if you determine to follow God and His Word, and not men or the words of men, you will find yourself in a place of God's choosing. It may take time - maybe lots of time - but if you determine to hear the voice of the Shepherd, His voice you will hear, and He will lead you to the best place for you.

After joining this group I don't have much friends outside now. Don't know how to start life again if I do leave.

Again, many of us went through this dilemma, and we are here to tell you that there is life, light and love on the other side. And yes, there is even "church life" on the other side. It may not seem like it, but you are not going to be walking out into the abyss - God, and the Body of Christ are actually waiting for you with open arms. Remember the Lord Jesus' solemn promise "I will not leave you as orphans".

Please feel free to send me a PM and it will be my joy and honor to give you some practical advise.

Your brother who is unto Him.
