Default Coming Back to the Vision at the Beginning of the Lord's Recovery

Coming

I am doing a series of at least three books on the history of Witness Lee and the Local Churches that will all go onto Amazon, beginning with Hiding History in the Nee and Lee Eras of the Lord's Recovery.

I don't think brother Philip Lin should have to bear that burden alone out there, with his loyalty issue preventing him from transparency in speaking what he knows to be true of our church history.

I will get back to it on the other thread eventually, but brothers such as Philip Lin "is in a unique position to shed light on the lack of transparency". Since Philip, Ron, Benson, etc choose not to, it leaves brothers such as Steve Isitt to do the investigational research and bring into light that which has been in darkness.

I look forward to seeing this as well. A transparent history of the Local Church is greatly needed. Amazon is a good place for this, because these writings will be bound to show up when someone is searching for books by Lee or Nee.

What Deputy Authority is Not

This book addresses the misconceptions and mistakes of a “local church” leader who severely condemned his fellow co-workers in his book for violating “God’s government” on earth he thought was found in the person of former “local church” leader Witness Lee. Andrew Yu is a current leader of the “local churches” associated with Living Stream Ministry (LSM) and “the Lord’s recovery”.

Holding the concept that the “local churches” under Living Stream Ministry are the true expression of the church today, Andrew Yu makes his staggering claims about those who “violate” its government. This book will serve as a warning about the blind following of any church leadership, since fallibility of men is a constant, it is ever present; and valid reasons to follow them is not. People change, and leaders are people. But our Lord, Jesus Christ never changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8)

He is Lord, and He is King. This is a constant. He does not change.

I surely hope I'm not purely pessimistic but with fifty long years of history of the "Recovery" and almost no change, I think it highly improbable that there can be any real repentance or turn. The regime is too well established. The seventy year olds are in the lead and many fifty year olds are pretty well in step.

I never heard much about old and new wine skins until in the LC. I do think that was one item of teaching that was dead on. Two thousand years of history has pretty well confirmed this.

Many may well know that Bible churches are out growth of Darby, Schoefield, and other Bretheren backgrounds, but possibly by the Lord's mercy they have chosen to separate from the real Darby sect. I feel the Bible church I attend is something of the Lord. At 84, I'm not too dogmatic except that the LC is clearly way off the mark.

Well Lord bless you dear brother. You're an enigma to me. How after 50 yrs you can come to admit you were wrong all those yrs is beyond me.

So am I right that you have no desire to even, "Come Back to the Vision at the Beginning?"

Shall I assume then that you have not secured a burial plot from LSM at the Grace Terrace burial site in Rose Hills Memorial Park right near "our dear brother" Witness Lee?

Listen to what they have to say about it ...
Quote:
In 1997, a group of believers burdened for the preservation of biblical values came together to discuss plans for a dignified Christian burial place for fellow believers. Out of that gathering and the fellowship that followed, Grace Terrace Memorial Association was formed and Grace Terrace was conceived. A 2.5-acre parcel of scenic terraced land was identified within the undeveloped area of Rose Hills. Soon afterwards they commissioned the most talented and renowned design team in the country to design grounds that are unique and symbolize the lofty principles of the Christian faith. The result is Grace Terrace that will become a Christian cemetery unmatched in beauty and rich in a landscape that reflects our spiritual heritage.

Who knew such a thing could even exist?

Grace Terrace. Where LCers can take their exclusivity, literally, to their graves.
