The matter of COVERING in LSM churches

Sheeple 1: son, MOTA taught us that we should cover our spiritual father when he is drunken with wine and naked.

Sheeple 2: father, I hear the top sheeeps sounding an urgent message to me. Their words say "We are your fathers, we looove YOU, WE COVERRR!!! YOU."

Sheeple 2: how many fathers do I have? Why are they covering me?

Sheeple 1: so that you don't see them naked. The LSM covering is so versatile they can cover you so that you are covering them. Heed their message, lest they cover the DNA father away from the DNA son.

LSM brand covering, versatility to impress.
Ooops. Oppress.

LSM vision of God created man

Sheeple27 : Wao! I've never seen it this way.

Sheeple4 : what?

Sheeple27 : RK in 2018 conference said: the verb 'form' as in Genesis God formed man is 'a potter making a vessel'. He said look into a full length mirror and admit it, everyone of us looks like a bottle. He said man is a bottle with an opening at the top!

Sheeple4: Ah ha! But wait ... let me think about it...why is RK a bottle with an opening at the top as well as with an opening at the bottom? Is it because only he has authority to go to toilet?

correction: authority should be 'delegated authority'.

I thought about this. "Deputy authority" should be, at best, "delegated authority."

So why don't they use the correct phrase? Because "deputy" sounds more impressive. It makes the "authorities" seem more like big shots. And the LR leaders looove to be big shots.

Here's a Blended Brother unleashing his awesome deputy authority. But sure to tremble as he speaks!

Listening to RK speaking, he only hinted he and top blendeds are 'delegated authority'. Deputy Authority is still WL.

Cal - He's got the right haircut. Does Barney also have an elder bag!?

And does this remind you of any one?: Barney recits the Preamble to US Constitution

There is a website "https://shepherdingwords.com/"

Top Sheeeps: Let’s have a genuine fellowship to quash your concerns over the alleged abuse of authority.

Top Sheeeps: Spiritual Authority, a book translated and published by Stephen Kaung, became popular among Western believers in the early 1970s. Since then it has been misused by some to assert themselves as authorities and criticized by others who blame it for such abuse. Both the misuse and the criticism miss the mark.

sheeples: We don’t know this book that was published in the early 70s. Some of us are not even born yet. We were told to only read LSM published books. We know only ONE publication and our elders have signed us off to be life-long customers of this one publication goods.

sheeples: We are concerned that there is abuse of power of authority in our congregation.

Top Sheeeps: This mess of some having misused Kaung’s book to assert themselves as authorities and others have criticised them, blaming the book for such abuse, is ALL there is concerning the abuse of authority.

Top Sheeeps: Both the misuse and the criticism miss the mark. After the break we’ll tell you about missing the mark.

Yes, our deputy authority has one of the old model ''elder bags.'' I think that LSM bookstores used to sell that one as ''the John Engles bag.'' They dropped that name, for some reason.
The last time I went to an LC meeting, a lot of people had back packs. It kind of seems like the old elder bags are no longer ''in.''

The original Chinese word is 代表权威, which literal translation is "delegated authority". I guess the guy who translated Watchman Nee's works mis-translated this Chinese word into "deputy authority", resulting in confusion.


Um...wait... he would have been correct... in his foresight...

Delegated or deputy, both end in authority. The doctrine, no matter how framed, gave God's authority to a man ... in this case Lee, and previously, to Nee ... and now, I guess, to the Blended's.
