Also I wonder how the "facts" came to light; how they were discussed; who was involved; how they reached this decision; and who gives them the AUTHORITY to ban someone, if they indeed believe they are the "only church in Hong Kong"? There must have been some pretty mucky slander going on the last few days, no wonder I've been feeling so anxious.

Obviously they are also feeling upset if they think I've been posting publicly my complaints about the church, and I'm sorry about that. But no regrets or repentance - a church should be able to take public criticism. If there's a lesson for them to learn, it's to take member's complaints more seriously before the members get frustrated and seek outside help. If there's a lesson for me to learn, it's not to get involved with cultish Californian ministries that believe they are God's only gift to the world.
Well James, IF the brothers leading each locality and even those heading up LSM WERE open to fellowship there would be less reason for this forum to exist. Locally and at LSM, these leading ones don't want to listen objectively in the spirit of fellowship, well brother this is our release valve.
