I am perfectly serious when I say this. I have heard openings that just consist asking everyone to do things like this.

I understand that completely, it all came down to how much we had prepared, and how mature we are -- that determined the value of our gatherings.
Lee's program of "
each one has ... " resulted in both the good and the worthless. Many a meeting I have left weary after listening to others, and of course them listening to me. Ministering on a regular basis to others is no easy endeavor. I will ever be thankful for all the training and encouragement I have received in the LC's to speak for the Lord. On the other hand, I was also upset when I discovered that Lee's motive was not just to help the one-talented members like myself, but to neutralize all the other gifted members that might be a rival to him.
