That's dumbfounding! Could this really be?! If no one corrected this statement, that's a big shame on them!

I know, StG. It almost made me stand up and walk out but I had to wait to hear the 'prophesy' corrected.....that never came either. I just remember looking around in disbelief, looking for some eye-rolling, something to tell me others heard it, and disagreed too. I didn't see that. Nobody said anything! But the conference's became of little value after that.

I've seen it happen. That's one of the criticisms of "everyone speaking". The leaders would rather have it go on than to correct the speaker.

I guess I can see that, but what they said about the blood was such a critical, fundamental belief. In our gatherings, there's been a few times where someone spoke up and took issue regarding something erroneous (at least they thought it was) someone else had said.

This is a beef of mine. I think this may be one area where the church kids get messed up. "Off" saints are given free liberty to share in the meeting and no one will correct their error. Meanwhile young church kids hear the error, look around and see people continue to "amen" or at least not disagree, and the error becomes a part of their foundation of truth going forward.

My answer to the poll is D-2,3,4.

I always viewed the open meetings as a positive thing. Risky? Yes, can be - people can say the darnedest things! But it is up to the Lord to provide us with the proper light if something off is said (and humans say a lot of "off" things . . .). This may come directly from Him or through another member of the body. Personally I would not trade the open meetings we have here (Scottsdale) - the benefit far, far outweighs the risk, at least to me. And I've seen the correction come many times if something was too far off.

And thanks for your poll answer!
