Assuming that everything must be orderly, or that it must be random (or a messy kitchen) is to presume. Not saying that either is good or bad. It is not what is done, or even how it is done. It is from what source it is done no matter which way it is done.

You aren't still clinging to a teaching of Lee, are you, Mike?

We probably all are and just don't know it.

But if you are referring to the "messy kitchen" I was actually stating that presuming that the "messy kitchen" is normal or even required is just as wrong as presuming that being orderly is right — or wrong. A way to refer to Lee's preference indirectly.

No, I'm not referring to the messy kitchen reference, I'm referring to the whole of your post. The whole idea that "It is from what source it is done no matter which way it is done". And I'm chuckling that you can't see that's what I meant...

(But hey, what do I know, maybe that didn't really come from Witness Lee, and it's all just jumbled up in my head at this point...)
