Re: What is the boundary of the Local Church?
The LCM positions on the ground of the church and apostles are both designed to exercise control over people.
Their position on the ground of the church says "you have to meet with us the way we say."
Their position on apostles says "you have to follow and submit to the people we say are apostles."
It's all about controlling people. Clear as day to me. They'll deny it until they turn blue. But it's the truth.
I guess some of them no longer even realize they are being controlled. Someday God is going to set them free, and the first thing they'll say is, "I knew something wasn't right! But I was afraid to say or do anything about it."
Fear is the enemy. And fear is one of the LCM's basic tools for controlling people. Don't let them control you. Put your foot down. Refuse to be intimidated.
