Publication Work in The Lord's Recovery aka The One Publication

Nnnnnnnnnnnnn..... no.

Yet, the response above indicates someone who is in a perpetual state of being ticked off.

If I said “what beautiful sunrise we had this morning” you’d respond with “This just shows those in the local churches think the sun rises only for them”.

Drake, didn't you just claim that *justification by faith* was a part of your spiritual heritage, and protected by your One Publication Mandate?

That's as basic as the sunrise for all believers, and LSM would copyright it if they could.

Thanks for the flippant and substance-free response, which affirms that I'm probably on to something, here. As in the lawyerly rule: when you can't pound the facts, pound the table.

Our readers can still note that the fact of Chu & Dong being permanently banned from this group, after spending decades toiling on its behalf, subsequent to the "one publication work" edict, remains in front of us, however you wish to characterize my attitude.

Actually Drake's post may have had substance: perhaps my writings show a combative spirit. Something worth pointing out, and that I should take as from the Lord.

But at the same time, why don't we say that Witness Lee putting his admittedly nonspiritual sons in positions where they could (and did) repeatedly stumble church members showed us something of his inner state, his attitude or "heart" (the typical LC metric to assess others' motives - "his heart was dark"); and when current LSM President Benson Philips was railroading the Rapoports or the Andersons or other scapegoats, it showed us something of his motives, and so forth?

Why is it that the Ascended Master's actions, or those of his lackeys, always get put into some judgment-free zone, while everyone else gets castigated for their admittedly poor motives? Again, the parable in Matthew 18 of the servant harshly judging others while begging his own indulgence comes to mind.
