Care? When I was tossed out as dead the first thing that struck me deeply was : Where's the love?
What happened to the love I shared with the brothers and sisters ; some of them friends of mine before the local church?
Like bro Ohio pointed out. I loved the Lord. I loved the brothers and sisters. I love the church. I loved God, and His Word, the Bible. But that wasn't enough. It didn't count. All that counted was allegiance to Witness Lee. And given no love shown toward me after I was out that allegiance obviously usurped genuine love for the brothers and sisters.
Brother JJ, I hate to disappoint you, but no one to date has added up all the good brothers and sisters that either left the local church or got the boot. The truth is that the carnage left in the wake of Witness Lee can't be added up.
And as I found out later, getting rid of all those brothers and sisters was considered by them as getting rid of the dross, that held the church down and back.
