This matter of, "
You need to have a feeling for the body", heavily promoted by Lee and the Blendeds since the 80's, is entirely manipulative. It has nothing to do with spiritual feelings, caring for the body, shepherding the saints, serving the Lord, following the Spirit, or loving God. It is absolutely and entirely about building up authoritarian leadership at LSM and tearing down the local elderships.
This cleverly cloaked phrase totally contradicts Peter's teaching in 5.1-3.
And, btw, how in the world did employees at a publishing house ever get appointed to oversee elders around the globe?
