Default Re: Local Church Double-Speak

I read a ton of WL's writings and found so many non-biblical and contrary concepts. Quotes will be from memory and paraphrased.

For instance, WL said "Don't say Witness Lee said ... That means nothing" then proceeded to speak as if he was the second coming of Christ in half his Life studies, intepreting every word of the Bible with no at times no regard for the context of the verse.

WL said "you can't be too intellectual and still be in the spirit". He at other times slanders believers for not being intellectually rigorous enough with their bible study habits, reading, and interpretations.

WL said things like "if you don't think there will be chastisement after death then you think there are no unresolved issues between you and God". Showing he did not believe the gospel that Christ became accursed for us that we might be counted as the righteousness of God.

WL straight up encouraged people being excommunicated, banned, ostracized, and marked and avoided for being different than the rest of the body but prided himself and his movement on "not creating division in the body of Christ". Are you kidding? It doesn't get anymore double minded than this one.

There are probably many more examples given how much WL and WN wrote, but I hope these examples show how litered and grevious the double talking is. I only engaged for six months so there is probably so much I haven't encountered as well. But the way some of the members spoke about other believers who weren't in the clan indicated to me that when the Word says "My word will not come back to me void, it will accomplish what I want it to accomplish" they do not believe it for a second... They think they need to work their butts off and become an "overcomer" for any of the Bible's word to become remotely profitable. Its funny too how they are obsessed with the BEMA seat but everything they build down here is not of faith. Its of their own vision and experience. So long as they have something to show of their "faith" down here, they deem it spiritual. Well, hope that is seen is not hope. A LC member told me he doesn't care about the rapture cuz this life is a perfect place to live out the Christian life, as well. I'll let you be the judge, but when you read some of Paul's words about being present with the Lord, does it seem like he's excited to you? Or ambivalent? I know I am excited to be with Christ, appearantly they are doing just fine without Him?
