Within LSM/LC fellowship those who are apt to minister through music are viewed as a distraction and may be given fellowship to set aside their ministry through music.
Thank GOD we can make up our own songs in the privacy of our homes! I make songs up all the time.. some are silly love songs to the Lord.. some have worldly tunes, some have more 'spiritual' tunes. Some are just my own tunes I make up. But organized religion always puts a damper on the 'release of the Spirit'.

As to whether the ELSIE is growing, I don't know about it's numbers but spiritually speaking, their growth has stunted. They won't let God the Holy Spirit lead them, guide them, enlighten them. The wine in the old wine skin has grown stale, tasteless and yet they STILL drink from it. Poor, Poor ELSIE THE COW.
