Vision you say Ohio? Who's vision? As we know with eyesight, not everyone's eyesight is the same. So why does "vision" have to be uniform?

Let's be honest. The local churches are ministry churches far more than they are local churches. Meeting and receiving is according to a ministry.
In order for one to meet regularly with these localities, they must have a vision for the ministry or else they're just not going to make it. Someone who has a broader view of God's Word more than what LSM publishes will often be subjected to scrutiny.

Why do you think that is? Young people can access the ministry online. Older saints have bookshelves full of books. How do they know who is reading what? It's so obvious that they care little for what their people are reading, nor their real spiritual health. They only care for book sales.

I just watched a couple of these videos... I found this one in particular contradictory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR3SHYWZiwg Around the 5 minute mark the guy is exhorting the saints not to replace the Word with the reference materials. Towards the end around the 7 minute mark, he says parents should educate their children in 'the full knowledge of the truth'.. but it is my understanding many of the church kids are leaving not only the LSM but disconnecting with their families. Also.. how sad Lee did not follow his own 'teachings' on raising families properly. Finally.. he starts off as I said around the 5 minute mark to read the bible and not replace it with the references but by the end he is emphasizing Lee's words to read the bible with the footnotes, lifestudies etc.. Well. we all know reading the bible in the LSM without footnotes, lifestudies, reference books by Nee & Lee in particular is impossible. And is it not the case today that the LSMrs are not reading the bible but reading and 'praying' the revival booklets and footnotes at the meetings? ![]() Tick-Tock....
