Re: My Testimony Of This Cult - With Some Information About Who They Really
Hi Asher
And also Welcome
I have a couple of questions for you but before I ask, I want to share a couple of quick things about me. I grew up Catholic so I knew about Jesus. But I did not know Him nor did l know anything about the Bible either. Like you in that respect, that is I did not know much about the Bible.
In 1975, I met Jesus, got filled with “the Life Giving Spirit “ and totally experienced being cleansed of my sins. The guys that brought me to the Lord also introduced me to the LC.
It was a better time in the LC back then than it is today.
It did have earmarks of a cult which I picked up as the years went by. I too left. But by and large everyone treated me well and I have fond memories. I am mostly grateful for them introducing to the Lord Jesus, my Savior and Deliverer, for teaching me the power of the Blood of Jesus. I am thankful for all the psalms I memorized through the singing with them.
I have no regrets leaving either. When I left the adulation of Witness Lee was forging full steam ahead. The cultish face was rearing its ugly head. I could not take it anymore...
And this forum has opened my eyes to practices I never imagined they would have. I never imagined the abuse etc...
So I totally understand how you feel as does everyone here.
I am just curious if they led you to Jesus? If they helped you read the Bible? I know they are into the footnotes etc... But if they led you to Jesus or on a path to reading and studying God’s Word, that is something to be thankful for. You also know now what to watch out for in “group think”. That is something you might have learned after some time being there. So that’s a good thing too.
Blessings and may God continue to shower you with His Love and inner peace supplying all your needs, financial, emotional, physical, and spiritual of course.��. Thanks for sharing btw
