Ask Me Anything: Currently Meeting With The Local Churches

I left because it became painfully clear that Brother Lee and the Living Stream Ministry was getting all of the attention and replacing the spirit of the Lord. It became the gospel of Lee and the spirit of Lee. The volumes of knowledge from the life studies to the various published books being marketed in the book room was astonishing and in my minds eye pure vanity..
The local church pride also surged to sickening heights with proud bellowings of poor Christianity!

It wasn't always like that.
Actually it was quite a wonderful and glorious experience in the early years of Elden Hall. I was a child back then but ultimately witnessed much.

I was invited to join this forum in 2008. Before that I had discovered the Berean Study forum where there was a section devoted to the local church movement. I frequent here because we as a group have discovered to our horror the depths of the cover up in so many ways.. we discovered just how deep the rabbit hole went. This journey has made us wiser and not so gullible.

This forum is a resource and a ministry to answer questions for those who just can't peg what is bothering them. We're not perfect which means you'll fit in fine here if you choose to hang out. :-)

Being that you have been here lurking for so long I can imagine you have discovered much also.

I have two questions for you.
1. What do you think of this forum and the people who frequent it?
2. After lurking here and learning the history presented here, Do you believe the LC will ever stop being so exclusive and less dependent on the teachings of Nee and Lee?
Again,
Welcome and
Peace like a river...

Thank you for your answer, Manna!

1. I mostly have good thoughts about this forum. I think it's good to have an open forum to share your ideas, I'm never against that. I have seen some distasteful things which are discouraging but overall I think it's an important thing. I think most of the frequent people are genuine people that have been hurt or found the local churches to be a big issue, so they want to help others. I have seen some people that seem to not have rational critiques, but rather an agenda against the local churches. It's understandable from some of their experiences.

2. I don't think the local churches will be less dependent on the interpretation of Nee/Lee any time soon, formally. But, I believe the culture/atmosphere of the meetings will shift more and more that way. I have seen it in the past 10 years, and I think it will continue even more as the third generation goes to be with the Lord.
