[UntoHim]

For some the most healthiest thing to do is to totally remove themselves from anything and anyone related to the Local Church of Witness Lee, at least for a period of time. For these particular brothers and sisters this forum is not for them! They would do best by not participating and maybe not even lurking.

"Why not just move on?" Well, for some of us, our conscience and our individual calling from the Lord will not allow us to be silent. We have a story to tell and the Lord has provided a venue for us to tell it. For some of us, simply moving on would be like Jonah refusing to go to preach to Nineveh and head in the opposite direction. Not that any of us have received such a great and important calling directly from God, but many of us do feel that we have a calling. There are deceived people in the Local Church. There are abused and hurting people in the Local Church. Young people and newer Christians are especially at risk to be deceived and/or abused.

For too long, Witness Lee and many of his followers have practiced the most insidious form of information control. Local Church members have been kept in the dark about the dark side of Witness Lee and the inner workings at the Living Stream Ministry and the true, hidden history of the movement. For too long, some dear "little ones" have suffered abuse of almost every kind imaginable - psychological, spiritual, physical and even sexual. Many times the abuse has come at the hands of elders, leading ones and persons of trust.

The days of "for too long" in the Local Church of Witness Lee are coming to an end. For some of us, we will not "move one" until God moves on. And God is not moving on until his will is done on earth as it is in heaven.
