No, not at all, I love you as a brother in Christ.

Even if you were my "enemy" I would still love you.

Then why do you seek to slander me?

Post #40 please. But only the last paragraph. But I'm not too worried about it. Every Christian is a miniature garden of Eden.

It’s not “slander” if it’s true.

Before this thread goes further off the rails, let me clearly state that the purpose is to blow the whistle on sexual immorality in the Local Churches, as testified to by women who were exposed to this abuse. The result in their lives has left them, in some cases, shipwrecked in their faith. If you have no meaningful contribution to this topic, please post on another thread.

Watchman Nee laid the foundation for sexual immorality in the church as Dr. Lily Hsu described in her book My Unforgettable Memories: Watchman Nee and Shanghai Local Church - Dr. Hsu

On this foundation, Witness Lee continued supporting the immorality of his son, Philip as told by John Ingalls in his book Speaking the Truth in Love http://localchurchdiscussions.com/vB...Truth in Love.

We haven't discussed Lee's son Timothy. From what I've read, in some ways, Timothy was worse than Philip. That could be because I read a few more details from Timothy's depravity but I had to stop.

There are testimonies on this forum which brave women have shared regarding their experiences of abuse in the Local Churches. A few posters would seem to want to change the subject and detract from the topic. In that case, please start your own thread. Otherwise, this is an important topic and deserves to be addressed. The devil would like to kill, steal and destroy the lives of women who trusted that the Local Church was a safe place for them to grow as Christian women. For some, that is not the case. There may be others monitoring this topic and looking for a safe place to share their experiences. Hopefully we can continue to keep this topic from being destroyed.

On various threads Ohio has either said or tried to suggest that I in some way work for, or should work for, or associated with LSM... Which I said very early on that I wasn't working for LSM, and had no desire to work with LSM.

Therefore... To continually say or suggest this amonts to slander of my person as it suggests that what I have said is not true... And by "...slander..." I mean making false and damaging statements about my person.

My reason for asking Ohio the question I did was to try and find out why he was continuing to speak in this way about me... Fellowship is only possible when we are standing on the same ground with a desire to move forward together... Which is what I'm after with all here.

And please, all, don't get all twisted in trying to say that I'm taking the way of thinking law suit foolishness... My speaking was simply to try and point out that Ohio's speaking to me is not in line with the proper fellowship that scripture tells us should take place between members of the Lord's one body.

The above made clear... Perhaps the word "...slander...", given past history related to the matters being discussed on these threads, was not the most appropriate to use... But in the other online forums I participate in (none being local church, LSM, Witness Lee related... Just many that have an abundance of atheists involved) it is sometimes necessary to use strong words to get points across.

Now, that made clear... I do think Nell's speaking that I have already referred to in another comment was way out of line.

Steel, are you serious?

You are on a Local Church Discussions forum defending LSM and its teachings, and then you say it is slander for me to ask if you have worked for them?

Steel, try to read more carefully. I asked Drake that same question on another thread. Perhaps you are so upset, you are not seeing straight.

But I'm not doing what you have accused me of... It's pretty simple.

Oh, I do... And do so as best I can in the Lord.

That's Drake... I'm not Drake.

Or... Perhaps I'm seeing very straight... And speaking accordingly.

It does, Ohio... And because it does I am trying to exhort you to experience the same... And prove this ruling of Christ in your heart through actually expressing it in your speaking.

Which is something that should be absolutely a part of any consideration of whistleblowing... Meaning... Doing so according to the ruling of Christ in our heart.
