When they passed through the Lord’s recovery or met with us for a few years and then left, invariably they found their spiritual service fading and faltering. This is an amazing thing. Those who have never touched the Lord’s recovery can still somewhat go on, but those who have come and then left invariably find their end less than desirable. There is not one exception. This proves that the recovery bears the vision that the Lord has entrusted to this age."
(not sure how WL's anecdote "proves" anything, but what else is new with this guy)

WOW Trapped - I've been waiting for this since the previous post on this thread almost 7 years ago! Ha ha - not really. But thanks for finding that quote! And I will add my testimony to "the record." I heard this about ones leaving the LC (loosing health/bad things happening/not going on with the Lord, etc.) in more than one training in the 1970s & 80s . I know, because it left a distinct impression of fear and condemnation on me that the Lord eventually freed me from.
I'm also here to testify that this kind of speaking from WL and others was 100% HOGWASH! The Lord
does not operate like this and this is impugning His character and loving purpose toward us. I will also testify once again, that my growth in the Lord has continued much better after leaving the whole LSM/LC thing!
