Listening to RK speaking, he only hinted he and top blendeds are 'delegated authority'. Deputy Authority is still WL.

Cal - He's got the right haircut. Does Barney also have an elder bag!?

And does this remind you of any one?: Barney recits the Preamble to US Constitution

There is a website "https://shepherdingwords.com/"

Top Sheeeps: Let’s have a genuine fellowship to quash your concerns over the alleged abuse of authority.

Top Sheeeps: Spiritual Authority, a book translated and published by Stephen Kaung, became popular among Western believers in the early 1970s. Since then it has been misused by some to assert themselves as authorities and criticized by others who blame it for such abuse. Both the misuse and the criticism miss the mark.

sheeples: We don’t know this book that was published in the early 70s. Some of us are not even born yet. We were told to only read LSM published books. We know only ONE publication and our elders have signed us off to be life-long customers of this one publication goods.

sheeples: We are concerned that there is abuse of power of authority in our congregation.

Top Sheeeps: This mess of some having misused Kaung’s book to assert themselves as authorities and others have criticised them, blaming the book for such abuse, is ALL there is concerning the abuse of authority.

Top Sheeeps: Both the misuse and the criticism miss the mark. After the break we’ll tell you about missing the mark.

Steve Isitt has written and compiled many articles on LC history.

Here is one paper that addresses Stephen Kaung.

Isn't Stephen Kaung Lee lite? Minus the ground. Lee went with dirt, and Kaung went with Sparks : the ground is Christ. But otherwise, both are Nee copycats?

Either way, it's Neeism, or Nee worship ... as in : Only ... Nee was the only and real minister of this age. They all push Christ to do it.

Still, Kaung is better than Lee. Kaung is humble (not I but Christ) ... and Lee? Well read the 1988 conference thread. Plus, he's joined the maggots.

Isa_14:11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, the sound of your harps; maggots are laid as a bed beneath you, and worms are your covers.

And Nee? Wasn't he worse than King David, in his private life? and more like Solomon ... or was that Lee's sons? Also Neeites ... but the private Nee ... that all the Lee's knew about ; the great Lee Nee cover up.

Yes, our deputy authority has one of the old model ''elder bags.'' I think that LSM bookstores used to sell that one as ''the John Engles bag.'' They dropped that name, for some reason.
The last time I went to an LC meeting, a lot of people had back packs. It kind of seems like the old elder bags are no longer ''in.''

So does that mean wing-tips are out too?

Back in the 70s, it was "white shirt, skinny tie, briefcase, and wingtip shoes."

And it fit the IBM dress code, except skinny tie was considered outdated. And other field tech's made fun of it when we met for lunch, or breakfast.

Even without the LC, Christianity has often managed to be out-of-sync with the society around it. Now I realize that we are not to be part of the world, but to the extent that it is not a truly spiritual issue, we have tended to stay a generation behind. Preach against whatever is modern, then adopt it once it is yesterday’s news.

And the elder/leading one’s attire was a pretty good example of just that. Trying to be different just because it seems spiritual.

Hey, I have a pair of smooth cordoba ones that I wear whenever I want to look conservative chic (at least in my own mind . . .)!

Recovery

Sheeple 19: why has Hank Hanegraaff chrismationed into the Eastern Orthodox Church?

sheeple 20: is it a deeper recovery of ‘becoming god’?

sheeple 21: church father Athanasius who gave us the theology of ‘For the Son of God became man so that we might become God’ is of the Eastern Orthodox

sheeple 22: eh … but more than a century earlier St.Irenaeus of the Roman Catholic said ‘God had become what we are, that He might bring us to be even what He is Himself.’

Sheeple 20: hmmm … the recovery is not deep enough …
