Pray reading in the denomination of the local churches, Lord's Rcovery, yes it is a denomination now, is now merely a charismatic exercise. Regardless of whether or not they want say they take a name, in actuality and practicality they refer to their group, as the local churches, and the Lords Recovery. Btw the way when they migrate, they do not do an exhaustive search to see if there are all ready believers meeting as the church, not taking a name, in that city. They just plop down and proclaim themselves the genuine local church and all other groups apostate.

Back to pray reading. They do not pray and muse over the word, at least corporately, privately no doubt many do. However, the corporate aspect of pray reading is merely a charismatic, if not Pentecostal exercise, to get the Spirit. Actuality it is just a stirring up of the soul to excitement. There is no communion with God in shouting to be heard by others. How can this be construed as prayer? It is merely a teaching, a practice promoted by Witness Lee, and even more by his disciples, who blindly follow whatever he says without examining the scriptures, as a noble believer should.

In church history what was considered heresy, but the Catholic Church, and what they burned people for, was holding different beliefs than that of the Catholic Church; not holding a different beliefs than what is in the Bible. The Catholic Church replaced the Bible with their teaching and tradition. Today, in my first hand experience, to express a feeling different from that stated by Lee in his ministry is considered by the majority of the local church group to be, basically heretical. They do not use this word, but this is the type of "how dare you" attitude they hold, and view you with. If you show in the word were Lee was not accurate, the members, merely consider you divisive. They do not care what the Bible says, it is secondary to Lee's ministry. Lee's ministry has replaced the Bible. This is another fulfillment of the Lord's word in Mt. 15:6- you deny the scripture of its authority by your tradition; and in Mk. 7:7- teaching as teachings the commandments of men. The Bible is a secondary source for this group, and all they understand is what they have been told, not what they have seen in the Scriptures. They pale in comparison to the British Brethren, and a no match for the scholarship and divine revelation, that was contained with Darby, Kelly, Mackintosh and company.

The ground of their group is that of locality as they preach, BUT ALSO in addition they take the teachings of witness lee in practicality as there ground. Therefore there only ground is not locality, and therefore they fail to meet there own pharisaical requirements of a genuine local church. To share what Darby, or Mackintosh wrote, in a local church meeting is not accepted, and is looked down upon. You are looked at as if something is wrong with you by the others, even though these men had the genuine New Testament ministry, darby even being called the minister of the age by Watchman Née, and even though they steal all their teachings and pass them off as their own.

I meet with them because the truth is high among them, however I receive their teachings with discernment, and examine the scriptures to see if there are so. Therefore, I personally reject several teaching promulgated by Witness Lee. I am not a respecter of persons, but of what is conveyed through the by God. The image worship in the Local Churches is beyond that of what Ron Kangus ascribes to our nation during the election of Obama. Lee is worshipped, and his disciples, along with some elders are worshipped, and how dare you hold a concept or thought different from them, they are never wrong, even when they are. This is an iceberg tip.
