Default Re: No Hint of Exercising Control?

Brother Lee Not Open to Opinion or Fellowship from the Brothers

One Accord for the Lord’s New Move
Elders Training, Book 7



The discrepancies in Local Church testimony is glaring.

They contend that some...
Some transmute the basis of the oneness of the believers by the assertion of their own authority - to the point where the actual ground of oneness becomes acceptance of and obedience to their authority”. (DCP) Yet, LC leaders fit this description, transmuting the basis of oneness of the believers by the assertion of their own authority, as Brother Lee also did.


3. LSM Sister’s Report

Interview with Ken Unger "As a sister working in the office of the Living Stream Ministry, a former elder’s wife had day-to-day exposure to the interferences that were being encountered by elders, co-workers, and churches in places around the recovery both far and near. She had been troubled to the extent of writing an 11-page letter to Brother Lee expressing her concerns of the ill-treatment saints were receiving at the hands of the LSM. She and her husband, Ken Unger, who was an elder in Southern California, went to Brother Lee to read the letter directly to him, and as she began to read Brother Lee cut her off soon after she started, and dominated the time, sharing his own burden about “the Lord’s move.” She was very discouraged, but Brother Lee granted her another visit to him with her husband at her husband’s request, and again as she began to read, Brother Lee stopped her before she could get through half a page, dominating the remainder of the time, as before, talking about “the Lord’s move” on the earth, and showing no interest in her report.

"Brother Lee could not listen to what Ken considered a mild part of the letter compared to the more serious matters the letter addressed. His wife, thoroughly despondent over her experience, never tried again and never recovered from her experience and disillusionment with the church and the recovery. She has never met again with any group of believers.

"She and her husband had experienced the same attitude in Brother Lee that was encountered by John So, Bill Mallon, John Ingalls, the Raleigh brothers, and many more. Brother Lee was not interested in the interferences - they were to him just “misunderstandings” of the “help” LSM was trying to render." (Deviating from the Path ) Help that would surely render him more control of the churches, the elders, the co-workers and the saints.

...the actual ground of oneness becomes acceptance of and obedience to the leader's authority” (DCP)
