I enjoyed this post.
Couple of comments in response.
1. I like GW. And, yes we are probably quite similar in many respects. However, I did experience a year and a half where he was trying to break me in the same way you might break a horse.
2. I find it very difficult to consider my experience "dancing around the edges":
Houston with RG and BP -- not the edges
Irving at time of construction -- not edges
Odessa -- at time the gospel move was all the rage, hence the reason to send GW and 2 other brothers out there.
NH -- that was the edges, but it was for one year.
Taipei during the FTTT -- not the edges, though perhaps from a US perspective.
NY -- not the edge, a very significant church, though loosely affiliated with lSM.
Also, although I didn't major in WL I actively spoke and taught the bible virtually every week and trained trainees in the gospel work.
Personally, I feel that saints who attended LRC meetings as the sum total of their Christian experience, in my mind they were dancing around the edges of the Christian experience. Yes I heard many quote WL in messages and testimonies, but I always felt this was due to a lack of experience of Christ of their own.
