I agree with Drake. It’s difficult, right? I mean on one hand everything that happens in the LSM churches isn’t all bad. But, in a way, you could say that about any group, Catholic, Mormon, Muslim, etc.
I think if you asked my mother-in-law (who’s family visited JW churches when she was young, but became a believer later in life) would say she has nothing good to say about the JW churches. This has been the sentiment for many who have grown up in the WL churches - what they’ve posted on this forum.
Now I didn’t grow up in the WL churches, thank God, but I would have to say that any positive aspect of the LC had a shadow side that outweighed the good. Fellowship of believers, organizational structure, home meetings, college outreach, etc. Witness Lee’s ministry is stale and lifeless, the church he’s created in his name is dying, and the dear brothers and sisters are confused and left alone to tackle the struggles of finding the Lord in Lee’s ministry. Putting on a smile, some makeup, reading Lee’s writings, and saying a hearty Amen isn’t feeding their souls like only Christ can.
Maybe the only good to come out of the “recovery” is the process of coming out of the “recovery” and going into recovery in the Father’s arms.
