That's why I'm interested in this thread. I too would like to know when and where it went south.

Even though ex-local churchers are aware of Witness Lee's negative appraisal of Christianity and have their own opinions about it they may be reluctant to engage in a discussion in which their own opinions become just one of many. The important thing to a dogmatist is to preserve the illusion that he possesses the final answer. The more I delve into the history of the origins of the church, the more questions I have. Why would one that is content with dogmatic faith want to give up their certainty for questions?
To the Christian isn't unquestioning faith is a virtue? If so, doesn't knowledge or the pursuit of it corrupt them? Hasn't a frequent poster in Alt Views told us this many times? His method includes dismissing facts and sources that might get in the way of his dogma which he calls "The Faith". Perhaps other readers of this thread share that brother's aversion to knowledge but are simply more reticent about expressing it in a forum where it might be challenged.
