Only I should’ve realised that the title is an oxy-moron, a contradiction in terms in itself, the Local Church itself doesn’t actually DO discussions, they just tell you how it is and advise you to submit!! (Therefore the logic is, ‘LC discussions’ MUST be a commentary that exists outside of the organisation itself!..I got that in the end!)

That is part of my experience. I hope it may be interesting and helpful to others to read. I may tell more of that journey if it seems relevant to others.

As I read this, I was struck by what a system of error the LC has become. This is such a remarkable contrast to me, that is, contrasting my time there in the early 70s with what you wrote. Back then, the fresh and living experiences of Christ, and genuine fellowship there, were bountiful (albeit, admittedly quickly fading)! It is obvious to me, and so many others on here, that the LC has now turned WL and his teachings into a bona fide cult figure, which has totally replaced Christ and the Anointing!

The seeds of this were certainly back there in the 70s . . . And since all the Life Studies and footnotes are in place, the LCers now just focus on those and miss the Spirit. Too sad.

The leaven has expanded the whole loaf into something totally off the mark of Christ's headship and the inner Anointing.
