Merged Thread: Ron Kangas
They actually try to defend the way Ron spoke about his wife this past summer.
Sorry co-worker bros, no matter how you cut it, and no matter how much surrounding context you try to "un-wrench" from the snippets, Ron's speaking is still gross. |

They Actually Try to Defend the Way Ron Kangas Spoke About his Wife
Who taught Ron K to speak this way? This kind of evil speaking is of the devil himself.
Quote:
Eph. 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; ... 17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned Christ; I don’t see how any sober minded man can, from the podium, speak such evil about approximately half of the body of Christ and yet hold himself up as a minister of truth. Isaiah 5:20 “Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil; that put darkness for light and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!” Lord help and forgive us all.

They Actually Try to Defend the Way Ron Kangas Spoke About his Wife
Ron Kangas: "I am the Co-Worker! My wife is nothing! To recognize her as an equal child of God and human being would be to put her on the throne and crown her! There is no room on my royal throne for my spouse! There is only room for me, the exalted Blended Co-Worker! For any sister to have an opinion about anything, much less dare to speak the truth regarding any kind of abuse against her is in rebellion against God's deputy authority, and they are subject to having the earth open up and swallow them alive!"

Re: They Actually Try to Defend the Way Ron Kangas Spoke About his Wife
Not that it should really matter, it happens that this insult was flung towards the second wife who happens to be of Asian descent. I doubt Ron would have hurled out such a condescending thing to his first wife Susan. From what I know, she was a real tiger and she would publicly humiliated him in an instant!

Re: They Actually Try to Defend the Way Ron Kangas Spoke About his Wife
Concerning Myriam and Aaron who protested against Moses's marriage with Gentiles, it symbolizes Christ typified by Moses married with the Church as a bridegroom coming from gentile nations. This predicts Christ will be rejected by Myriam (Hebrew name refers to rebellion) typified as rebellious Israel and Aaron typified as Judaism's priesthood like Annas and Caiphas who reject Jesus.
The reason why only Myriam became leprous while Aaron was still fine is that God, even forsaking Israel and turning to Gentiles, still keeps Judaic priesthood until second coming of Jesus and millennium kingdom where Jews will serve Him as priests. So, it has nothing to do with self proclaiming deputy authority of God among Blended Brothers and LC. |

Re: They Actually Try to Defend the Way Ron Kangas Spoke About his Wife
The real question here is not whether the wife of Ron Kangas has any legitimate authority, but whether Ron has any legitimate authority in the body of Christ.
Ron Kangas was a Princeton theological graduate who became an ineffective elder in a local church, and then was picked by WL to be a book editor at LSM. Kangas rose to prominence at LSM after John Ingalls and his translation team were thrown under the bus over the Phillip Lee scandal. Whereas Kangas, Benson Phillips, Ray Graver, and others bowed down to WL's reprobate son Philip, the so-called "Office," Ingalls and others took a stand for the Lord, for truth, for righteousness, and for the children of God. They were all slandered and expelled for their stand. Forget the Bible, forget the truth, forget about righteousness, forget about God and His people, the Recovery is all about the lust for power and control. In a religious system which whole-heartedly believed that their movement required a MOTA, a Minister of the Age, when WL died a leadership vacuum was created. As the principal speaker and theologian, Kangas filled that void in the hearts of the Recovery faithful. He assumed Lee's position. The Recovery loves to use Moses as their authority paradigm. The problem is that no scriptural basis whatsoever exists that Moses was a type or picture of a N.T. minister. The Bible clearly states, however, that Moses was the forerunner of Jesus Christ, who build God's house. (Deut 18, Acts 3, Hebrews 3, II Cor 3-4, etc.) After leaving the Catholic church of my upbringing, I rejected all false Papal claims of the "Vicar of Christ" on earth. After leaving the Recovery, I also rejected all illegitimate MOTA claims of "Deputy Authority" by WL or any of his Blendeds, including Ron Kangas.

Re: They Actually Try to Defend the Way Ron Kangas Spoke About his Wife
They have been trying to lead the whole body of christ from the front now for how many years? Completely disconnected, they are oblivious to how ridiculous their attitudes on some of these topics are. No self-respecting minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ in any respectable setting would be foolish enough to dream of spouting such words and expect to be taken seriously. It's beyond the pale and very embarrassing.... for them.

Too bad for them that the recording of Ron has already made its rounds, and everyone has heard what he said for themselves. Their continuous boldfaced lies are getting really old.

Also, just for the record regarding "co-workers" in the Bible.... Romans 16:3 - Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my co-workers in Christ Jesus. Note – the co-workers here are a couple. A husband and wife. Both "crowned" and "exalted" the same....if you want to use the unnecessary language Ron used. Soooo......whooops! Looks like there absolutely is Biblical precedent for what Ron considers to be so repulsive. |

I find it interesting that her words indicate RK was indeed speaking of the policy of the local churches regarding the value taught to women. I think it may have been aron or Ohio posted somewhere, amongst many testimonies, patterns emerge. Those patterns reveal what is really there. let this be another testimony to add to the exposure of their internal orthodoxy of the belief that 'women are nothing.' |

Ron Kangas
Who's Ron Kangas? I never heard of that person during my time at Local Churches. Local churches are good at keeping secrets, so they're opaque. Also they don't want the their past misdeeds to be leaked towards other churches not affiliated with Local Churches. I'm sure corruption still exists to this day.
I'm sure Local Churches organisation still get criticism, ever after Witness Lee is gone. |

Re: Ron Kangas
You are right! Even after Witness Lee is gone, Ron Kangas is wasting his time talking about Witness instead of Christ! He is good exxample of deceived Christian. They never say:" I am so sorry! I was wrong!"
They just die withe all mistakes. That is example of what WL has left. |

Re: Ron Kangas
That is why brothers in the lead rarely exhibited humility nor repentance.
There was an expectation from others to repent to them. If brothers in the lead offended or wronged anyone, they would not say: " I am so sorry! I was wrong!". Rather they would say brother/sister, you need to take the cross. I may be off here, but in the local churches I think the concept of taking the cross was a bit off. It is utilized to change the narrative when there is conflict between brothers/sisters. To avoid accountability, just take the cross.
