The thread starter, Drake, gave us a proposition that Witness Lee was correct in his assessment of "poor, poor Christianity". Drake's contention that Lee's criticisms were not meant for all of Christianity falls flat in the face of the facts.

I realize that is a point worthy of debate, but not the acrimony of the recent posts.

Beyonce worship? Really? As much as I find the kind of "service" that was held at that so-called church appalling, it wasn't about worshiping Beyonce. Anyone who took a couple of minutes to read that article would know this.

I didn't say everyone agreed it was "Beyonce worship" only that everyone agrees that Beyonce worship is reasonably called "poor". Again, this is a point of debate if you wish. But certainly not a reason for the acrimony.

So then the debate is not over whether or not you are free to own and read the books, since everyone agrees you are, but rather whether or not this is the actual practice in the LRC. Instead of the acrimony Drake's posts prove that the practice in the LRC is judged and condemned by the written ministry in the LRC.

What have they taught that Witness Lee did not teach? What have they practiced that Witness Lee did not practice? I have made this challenge for anyone to show any significant difference between Lee and the Blendeds. Nobody has taken me up. And nobody can because there is no significant difference.

So then Drake's quotes prove that "with what judgement you judge you shall be judged". The practice in the LRC violates what they say in print. With their own words the Lord will judge them and the judgement will probably be "poor, poor Christianity".
