In my personal line id, I like to post some military and public services photos because I like this kind of career. But he addressed to me by saying "Could you stop posting these photos ? It results from "the old man ". Brother, you are baptized and crucified with Christ. So, you are new one man in the one body. The pictures of public services like cops or military personnel with his or her own firearm are very scary and violent. These are not appropriated for one who serve God. So, you have to change or delete these pictures from your line app because it's not appropriate for becoming good gospel preacher and Christ's testimony. I will pray for you in order that you can see (that posting these kinds of public service career displease Christ and His body)." This is what he said to me concerning my posting in my personal area.
What do you think about this, dear brother and sister ?

His religious opinion. Who is he to tell you how God feels about your choices. God does not tell others to tell you how he feels. If God has an opinion, he will tell you. Until then....be who you are

That's very much same advice I received from my dad many years ago. Don't try to be someone you're not. Be who you are until the Lord conforms you inwardly.

Now, I understood why they just gain Asian American in the LSM affiliated local churches. Does some of them think that if you have some photos with firearms holder or something, so you can't become so called good witness of Christ? I am afraid that local churches will fail in the redneck states because they love firearms collection so much. Only Lee's teaching can't help you to know more about the reality of the world and how to survive in it without any transgressions before the Lord.

As a sister who was born and raised in a "redneck state," it's more accurate to say that we love the 2nd Ammendment. In fact, we love all of them, especially the 1st 10 called our Bill of Rights, and the Constitution as well. I'm not sure what at this has to do with anything. You're on thin ice here. No politics allowed.

That was my problem. Myself wasn't isn't a Lee follower. Silly me. Myself was following Christ ... and I said it over and over again ... So being myself got me the boot.

I don't think they want all the saints to be their self. Or the saints would be gone, by choice or not.

You can't be yourself if you hook your wagon to someone else ... like following a dead MOTA ... or those blended with the dead MOTA.

Sooooo? Of course ... Everybody should be themselves ... first and foremost. Cuz the Lord can't do anything in pretenders. If I remember correctly, he called them serpents and vipers.

Many out here prolly don't know what happened when Lee sent Max Rappoport to speak at localities. Max went around telling everyone to get real ... he called it "on the floor fellowship."

I saw good brothers and sisters walk, and never come back.

Out of concern I went to one brother & sister, that, after Max, quit coming to meetings. They were friends of mine before the LC. They came in with me. I was shocked at the sudden change in them both. She busted out the door, with him shouting profanities at her, and when I was inside with him he literally told me to F**k off. I couldn't believe it. Such a drastic and sudden change. The brother, and his wife, had been "all in" for 10 years or so. Fanatics, actually. But along the way it had become pretense. They weren't being their true selves.

So when Max said "stop pretending," he & his wife had to leave. It was over.

Being yourself is dangerous. For the sake of Lee's movement, don't do it.

And by the way. Eventually. Max got the boot. I think he got too real.
