During my time with the LSM church (2015), Billy Graham was much less relevant, but none the less - I could picture members of the LSM churches saying this, so I tend to believe their statements to be true. Someone in the "church" disparaged other groups, fellowship, and denominations in ALMOST every single meeting (home, lords table, etc). I wish I would have kept more than just a mental log of this. Additionally, I heard a leading brother make negative comments about a leading pastor at another local church (non-denominational). This forever stuck with me because I knew this church well - I saw how many people they brought to Christ and the HUGE impact they were making in the community. All the while the LSM church in my city sit and made surface level, memorized, chit chat about whatever topic Living Stream "Ministry" told them to discuss, brought people to know Witness Lee (rather than Jesus) and had zero impact on their neighbors. Well I should say positive impact...
I've told this in part before, but when Lee ordered five localities to migrate to Ft. Lauderdale, for the "good material" Spring Breakers, Bob Mumford had already declared the ground.

But he wasn't loyal to Lee, so we couldn't joined them, like the Lee's doctrine of the ground held.

Back then, I remember, there was a new on fire brother, Bob Coy, that was with Mumford (and Derek Prince). Long story short, Bob Coy went on the build the largest mega-church in America ; 20,000 strong. And the church in Ft. Lauderdale is gone. It disappeared from LSM's list of Lee local churches long ago.

So where/who would we say, that, God poured out His blessings upon?
