My wife and I experienced a very similar thing in 2015/16. We were told that if we wanted to see a fruitful marriage/family we needed to stay in the Witness Lee churches (this was in Anaheim). I heard this very specifically stated, but also heard it many, many times through more indirect and passive statements.
I met with the Witness Lee churches for a year and encountered those from different parts of the state and a few from around the country. I can not believe that Drake hasn't experienced this - it runs counter to the entire culture of the Witness Lee church that I was a part of.
My marriage, kids, etc - are so awesome - praise and glory to God - and all this outside of the Witness Lee churches (far away). It is sad that folks are subject to these fear tactics and lies. I would love for those stuck within the LSM church to see my life, family, ministry, the good the bad, the highs the lows, and see that Jesus is the real deal and by his grace we find His truth.
