Raptor:"[...]Talk about how in your experience their practice of pray-reading is wrong. But don´t throw out scriptural and healthy pray-reading. The Recovery does not have the copyright, monopoly or ownership over pray-reading".
UntHim.
My apologize!
I went back to first post and here it is. During nice and sweet exchange with our experience we can forget easily some sentences.
Now I understand what You meant.
But, please also, do not expect, that always we will go back months to check how thread was developing.
Usually we response ( I think) too last two or three posts.
So, now I think we are clear what happened.
!1The corporate practice of "pray-reading", as exercised in the Local Church of Witness Lee,2 is not scriptural.

I totally agree with You and I guess StG also.
We have two seperate problems here.
1. LC or actually WL made from experience rule and practice which is common mistake of denominations bringing division. Some people speak in tongues and some not. Some believe that this is from God some not. But those, who started demand it from brothers brought division at least.
2. Is it scriptural and healthy pray-reading? It depends on what we talk about?
a.experience of reading and enjoying Word?
b.practice itself as practice?
b' individual practice?
b" corporate practice?
c. is it wherever mentioned in Bible?

You added word "corporate reading" ( raptor did not) which also makes difference but only in case of debate about benefits for saints.
Ad 1. By LR definition "pray-reading" and what we see in their teaching this is not biblical.
Ad 2. a Yes, it is. Healthy and biblical.
Ad 2. b' Yes, it is practiced. The whole Bible is full of this.
Ad 2. b" Noooo! I mentioned this before. This is the most usless and fruitless practice I met there! Corporate reading. Sorry, guys...
Ad 2. c Look at Ad 2,b'

You was kind and honest to me so I will tell You also, that except my Englis my weak point is that I am chaotic and want to express everything fast and as much exactely I can.
I learn from all of You so, thanks!
I hope now we are more clear abou our understanding and I learned also sth new.

Raptor:"[...]Talk about how in your experience their practice of pray-reading is wrong. But don´t throw out scriptural and healthy pray-reading.

I think, I know what raptor meant. Key word is "scriptural" not "pray-reading'.I think he used unfortunate words. I think, a lot of "new words" accompanied me for long time. Other words: "do not throw the baby out with the bathwater"
And also, main task was: "talk about how in your experience their practice was wrong".
