Exactly ! Nice to see you Paul !

It is very frustrating for me, to know and understand the church are believers sharing the gospel, fellowshipping one on one or in small groups, in homes, at coffee shops, restaurants, even in the streets. There are many, many saints who were in the LC, left the LC and those who never even heard of the LC, WN or WL who truly understand and know WE believers are the church.

If Witness Lee really wanted to get back to the beginning, he would have instructed all the churches to have someone stand in the meeting and just read the scripture. Paul told Timothy to not forsake the reading of scripture.

To the forum readers/posters:
While short lived and MAYBE unique to San Diego, there was a time when we did JUST that in the homes ! The 'corporate' meetings were usually on a particular topic, the S/spirit, the Blood of Jesus, Sanctification, Justification, Righteousness, the church. Scriptures on those topics were empasized and we read them in the meetings together. So it was in the LC style...we at least read them !

This was before the life study messages began.
