This is indicative of the LSM culture. The so-called recovery have morphed into ministry churches so the mode of receiving is not one according to love and grace, but according to "ARE YOU FOR THE MINISTRY?"
Several verses come to mind regarding receiving according to the ministry...
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. Luke 6:32
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13:1
This second verse in 1 Corinthians 13:1 may be a window to why wives of elders and deacons are often absent to prophesying meetings. The ministry to these sisters, has become a noisy gong. Lacking is the love that attracted them to the recovery.
