Re: POLL: What is the Greatest Error of WL & LC?

That's a good observation I think! Yes, the world likes to go to extremes and categorize accordingly, doesn't it? It is quick to label things as "hate"- if you don't condone a certain behavior, it...

Re: To Keep or not to Keep (Teachings)

That is interesting re "using the ministry to attack the ministry." What a systematic cloud of deception they appear to be in!

My copy is LSM 1983. I'm not sure what "The Stream Publishers" is -...

Re: To Keep or not to Keep (Teachings)

I kept one WL book that spoke to me quite deeply: "The Specialty, Generality & Practicality of the Church Life." In it he basically says we should hold certain core (essential) items of the faith...

Re: 2 Months Out Of The Local Church And Feeling Guilty

When I hear of practices like this, it's astounding to me that they still do it! When I was in the LC last, back in the late 1980s, this was a common exhortation and practice. Frankly, it's pretty...

Re: Heart Of The Local Church Problem...

I read Sparks daily devotional, "Daily Open Windows" for a few years. Many times it spoke words that so very clearly applied to TLR. Usually along the line of warning about not taking some "truth"...

Witness Lee Went Too Far; Christendom Probably Not Far Enough

Lee said, "God became man, so that man could become God" as part of the so-called "high peak revelation." And it should be stated that he does add to this phrase, "but not in the aspect of the...

Re: Hello

Welcome! So where on your journey are you now - are you thinking of leaving or have you left? I'm here to testify that the Lord is fresh and living in many places that have never heard of TLR.

Re: POLL: What is the Greatest Error of WL & LC?

Interesting question. I know many left because of the control over the various localities and that they must adhere to, and be subservient to, the central ministry. To me, the other big one was the...

Re: Eternal Salvation Is Free; Ruling With Christ Is Earned

This is very succinctly put and easy to grasp! So much so that I think I will post this idea in another forum I'm on - thanks!

Re: Brief Introduction- I Started Leaving the Local Church 5 Years Ago

As someone else alluded to, all all that obligation for so long sounds quite oppressive! It has me wondering what my kids thought of the LC scene, although it was just for around 5 years when they...

Re: “God Is Fear”? 10 Signs That Your Church is Becoming A Cult

Wow - in reading through the 10 things . . . I think TLR hits them all! And for me it really culminated in fear - fear of leaving (cuz God might whack me) and an unhealthy fear of God - not seeing...

Re: Leaving The Local Church Has Consequences

I can't point you in the direction of those specific posts. But I remember being in conferences in the 70s & 80s...

Re: 1000 Years Discipline

That was said regarding your opinion, which I might say to anyone's opinion (including my own). That is, before you quoted verses you stated an opinion, to wit: "If a believer has committed...

Re: 1000 Years Discipline
