Calling the LC old timers, Describe the LC before the reign of Lee

There were no bells signaling a person to shut up and sit down.

There were no microphones that I know of. Maybe in Anaheim?

People stood up and “testified” not “prophesied”.

We met for the Lord’s table on SUNDAY NOT “Lord’s day”. Suddenly Sunday became a “cursed” word. People would not even say “We are going to eat at such and such’s home Sunday after the Lord’s table. Nope dared not say “SUNDAY”.

In 1975 when I got saved and “jumped in” to the church life, our focus was on the Lord Jesus, getting “into our spirit”, reading the Bible. We read from the KJ and NASB. It was 4 months before I realized Lee was the head honcho of the LC.

From 1975-76, even though we were reading life study messages, the focus was on Christ and the church. By mid 1977, rarely did a day go by where Lee wasn’t mentioned. In every meeting Lee and to a lesser extent Nee we’re “glorified”.

Even at the table meetings people jumped up and declared “Thank You Lord for brother Lee”. (As if God opened no one’s eyes but Nee and Lee’s regarding the LC). Even worst, as sheeple, I noticed we were subtly being controlled. What happened to “getting into our spirit?” We we’re not in our spirit unless we acknowledged Lee in our testimonies.

Unquestionably I became very annoyed with all the hootin - rootin - and tootin for brother Lee. It is Jesus Christ Who saved us, His Precious Blood sanctifying us and HIS LOVE safeguarding and possessing us. He IS the all in all.

NOT Lee!!! So I left. It wasn’t easy living in the wilderness for many, many years. But I am free at last! Thank God ALMIGHTY I am FREE at last from the Lee/LSM stronghold.

All Glory and Honor be to the LAMB of GOD!
