Greetings from an LC member!

Greetings saints,

Long time lurker, and I mean a very long time on this forum. I am still an LC member but have been interested in the history of the Lord's recovery. From reading all these posts on the forum, I realised that there seems to be two perspectives on what happened in the history, which have brought confusion, especially to me. Yet, what's done has been done and it can never changed. All we can do now is move on and if there has been some wrongdoing on both sides, I really pray there can be reconciliation, so we all can get on with doing the Lord's work.

My experience being in the LC have been overwhelmingly positive. There is a real sense of brotherly love and the desire to be built up together and enjoy the Lord together, we are encouraged to read the Word (any Bible version, not just the Recovery, all up to you), we read the ministry but there is no restriction on what you can read, but we are encouraged to compare everything to scripture. The only fault I would say could be that some saints can become overly zealous, especially towards the ministry, which can be off putting to some.

I understand some members here have negative experiences in the LC which have caused them to doubt or even leave, but this is just my experience where ever I went. Maybe the attitudes have changed a little, if not among those up there, then among the common LC people, or if not, then in my particular locality?

But I know that for some members back in those days, there was the real and sweet enjoyment of the Lord. For those who fall in that category (old that is

), I want to know what it was like, and what happened in history that caused all this to change? The history seems to cause contention for some reason, but I want to understand why it is so (admittingly, the LC history is a small stumbling block for me).

Also, if anyone has a recording/audio of Witness Lee's final message before he went to the Lord, can you link it to me or send it to me? I read a post on here about how the literal transcript and the edited transcript seem to give completely different ideas. I want to hear it myself. Chinese or English dubbed are fine, I understand both.

Much blessings to everyone. I might become more of a lurker than a poster but we will see. God bless!
