Time Frame in the LSM/LC

04-13-2010, 02:30 PM

I have just found this website - I don't know why I thought to look for LSM today - maybe the Lord's leading when a tune reminded me of a hymn...
I was saved in spring 1973 and met the LC through saints in the NW of England in that autumn. The following spring we all went to a LC conference in Germany. I was caught - dropped out of university, married a brother and eventually moved with him to establish a LC in a large university city, where I still live. And I'm still married to that brother.
In the 70s and 80s we travelled to churches across Europe, and I visited Anaheim once (the second Revelation training).
I won't tell my husband's story - perhaps he may do it himself - but after the encroachment of LSM issues, I eventually stopped meeting with the saints in 1992.
I don't meet anywhere, but am still in touch with a few of the saints. I miss the singing, the ministry of the word and the fellowship, but I still love the Lord.
I don't know whether anyone will read this post (Don Rutledge - I remember Mrs Bear's bread!), but I have enjoyed reading your various messages.
The Lord be with your spirits.

And grace to you, sister!

There's a number of us hanging round online too.

Hi Fes,
Wow...the UK is where you are ! Cool !!
Welcome but just so you know, this forum is not as active as the public square berean. However, the other board is more hostile towards the LSMrs and LCrs and the LSMrs are not cool towards the former LCrs.

But as for ME....and my house, we WILL serve the Lord.

Keep your eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ. His Precious Holy Spirit is the Revelator of the Word of GOD...to GOD be all the Glory, Honor and Praise with Thanksgiving.

Carol

Hope SO !!
I'd like to post more often here but I don't know how many readers there are.

We here truly love the Word of God and speaking for myself, I am grateful for my time in the LC which was from 1975-78/79 in San Diego.

First contact with John Ingles and Bill Freeman at small conference in Everett Washington in the spring of 1970. Was quite active in the local churches from the summer of 1970 up till 2007. I served as an elder in one locality for a number of years but no longer had a real heart for what the local churches were becoming after the "New Way" was set in by Witness Lee from 1986 on and the ever increasing exclusion of anything that was not from "the ministry".

I remember when the church book room not only sold books by Witness Lee and Watchman Nee but also displayed and sold books written by Andrew Murray, Jesse Penn-Lewis, William Law, Reese Howel, and others. We believed and practiced the "generality" of the church back then as taught to us by Witness Lee which was to "earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints" ......and to be general about everything else and thus avoid creating more divisions. This belief and practice may still be in Witness Lee's writings but I don't believe it is the practice of the churches anymore.
