As I understand it, your church was started by Bill Freeman while he created his own little faction out of the recovery with "his followers", and moved to Scottsdale. Doesn't really matter now how it started. Now let's say you're the church in the city, so you got a lampstand, you got it all going on! Hopefully all those denominations get brought down and everyone joins your (i.e. the local) church (I'm paraphrasing Nee here). That's why you meet separately from the other churches, right? Because if not, you're quoting of Nee is in vain I'm afraid, there is some responsibility with being the local church in the city.

In other words I hope it goes beyond being merely a "better version of "The Recovery"", like you said in your first post. I hope you see the meaning and value of the lampstand in the city according to Nee or Lee, and live up to that calling.
