As much as some of us appreciated our time in the local churches, it is not the culmination of our Christian living. Simply one passage through our Christian life.

I think I am most grateful for the lifelong friendships that were established at Elden. It is interesting to note that 4 of the 5 elders eventually left or were forced out and over 75% of those at Elden eventually left.

How in the world could Lee continue to promote the "Good Old Days" at Elden Hall when 3/4ths of those saints departed out of protest?

When it comes to church history in general or Recovery history in particular, Witness Lee just has no credibility whatsoever. He has distorted and twisted every event into some self-serving tale of modern mythology.

Interesting. It seems the questionnaire LSM sent out on Elden Hall was based on the 25% that haven't left the recovery.

Probably less than 10% now from what I understand.
