How true. Looking back, many things just don't make sense.

Before the New Way was unleashed upon us, I was part of a LC that was flourishing and fruitful. The Lord's blessing was upon us. Our elders were instructed by TC to follow closely to WL and LSM. Changes upon changes swept thru town. How sad it is to be wrapped up in religious movements, counterfeiting the real thing, and not being aware of what was happening until it was too late. Both WL and TC were, behind the scenes, fighting to control where our lead elder would live.

Religious zeal does not listen to the voice of reason nor the plain words of scripture.

But there is no way "Believers ought to be able to walk away from that, but stay intact as churches." History has proven that. The LRC won't let that happen.
