He replied 'well if we aren't faithful to the Lord it very well could happen' Now I have to admit at that time in 1972 there was a real blessing on the Local Church with the presence of the Lord Jesus and the oneness of all the saints. The first year I was in the Local Church was a very blessed year indeed. But every year after that seemed to diminish in the enjoyment and the atmosphere was never the same,after 14 years I left because I could no longer tolerate it that was in 1986. Today I see it as just another Denomination in Christianity.

I had the same experience. And it hit me in the face when at the Kingdom conference, Kangas and the other elders in Detroit talked me into coming to the c. in Detroit. Then I learned that Lee took over control of a standing on the ground established local church.
I was young and ignorant, so I shelved it. But it just went on down hill, until it exposed itself right in my face as a cult.
It was long ago, but didn't Marshall Davis show up in the c. in Ft. Lauderale?
