Leaving The Local Church Has Consequences

I’m not sure how to even explain this, but it’s truly is a conundrum that their writings, published and promoted by LSM, sold as the ministry of the age, taught to be the only true God’s speaking, can be dubbed as poison by their own group while they are consuming it like a lion devouring it’s prey. I guess you can’t say it out loud, or point out the depth of this delusion to these people. “Poison”-will be your nickname, and as a leper you will be treated. Hurtful, abusive, marginalized and lower than the dirt they step on every day they will make you feel like, while calling on the name at the same time!

Lee was certainly quite divisive. The whole premise of the name "Recovery" is to divide himself and his followers from the rest of the Body of Christ since all of Christendom, Catholics and Protestants included, are considered by him to be "deformed," "degraded," "satanic," "demonic," and "devilish."

As for how you have been treated for bringing this up, this is, unfortunately, the pattern found in The Lord's Recovery.

Jo Casteel tried to raise awareness of spiritual, mental, emotional, and sexual abuse in the churches. As such, she is a reviler and a poisonous woman.

John Ingalls was concerned at how heavily Witness Lee's writings were being venerated and sought to deal properly with the abuse of power of his son Phillip. He is clearly a rebel who tried to overthrow Witness Lee.

Steve Isitt tried to reconnect with ex-members and find out why they left. When he saw that their testimonies were completely different than what the elders had said about them, he tried to get everyone together to in order to have reconciliation and bring people back into The Lord's Recovery. He is surely "the embodiment of the accuser of the brethren."

Dozens upon dozens of testimonies of those who earnestly tried to bring up issues with The Lord's Recovery look just like yours because that's just what they do to anyone who dissents. Heck, many of these people weren't even trying to get people to leave The Lord's Recovery! They wanted to bring up and address these issues properly to STOP people from leaving! Yet for their efforts they are shunned and treated as traitors.

How easy it could be if brothers leading the localities would be part of the solution instead of being part of the problem. Instead the leading brothers label concerned brothers and sisters as leprous, opposers, rebellious, poisonous, among every other negative description that the brothers express.

Hi all,
Does anyone here know of someone who have left the local church because they realized what this movement is and how it damages people, and are treated by the local church members as fellow believers rather than opposers? I would like to meet ONE person at least or hear from them, especially if you are in a married relationship and your husband or wife still belong to LC.

Thanks
