I would just like to ask? How much of the crazy fun joyous times back in the 60s and 70s were related to the ministry of the age. That is to say how much would you say would have been related to getting brother Lee's ministry. Because for my part I remember having a lot of fun with the brothers, I also remembered being with the brothers reading a life-study message with everybody, looking around to see the look on every bodies faces, well I can't say definitely what everyone was thinking, but I can't say that it was the looks of people who were being filled up with life and joy and whatever (I had the same reaction when looking at the faces of all the brother's and sisters in the video messages which brother Lee gave (Late ministry) funnily enough, especially when looking at the coworkers). Then of course after coming home from said meeting hearing the brother I went with beat himself up because he had been natural before the death-study (laughing, joking what have you). Which given the testimonies about baseball games and the like I have to ask, Was the joy at least in part killed by a certain legalism which while not necessarily explicitly spoken in the ministry was nonetheless mixed in with it. You could then ask whether or not the God Ordained Way was an attempt to return to the "structure" or what have you of the earlier days without actually realizing what killed them.
