This is what I have heard from other saints, why they are so loyal through thick and thin. I also agree with Lisbon in that a true ministry cannot gush out both bitterness and sweetness. Thus even though the LSM ministry is rotten, some of its saints will keep the true Spirit. Isn't it similar to the 7 churches in Revelations where the Lord was calling for the overcomers from each church? Yes, even the RCC has its share of overcomers, putting all of the ministry doctrines to shame.

My morning reading in Galations 1 reminded me of this ongoing tussle by Indiana with the LSM ministry. Gal 1:6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

Paul saw this perversion of the gospel as so serious, that he gave them a double curse. It was not another gospel they were preaching, but they were twisting the same gospel to suit their own purposes. This describes the LSM ministry, which circumvents the gospel from the glory of God to the glory of Witness Lee and to the elimination of the work of the Holy Spirit in interpreting the Word as needed for each saint.
