I experienced firsthand the lack of brotherly love in the local church -- the LC is not Philadelphia. They are not interested in the way love, unless loyal to Lee's ministry.

Funny way to think about it . . . . There is no love because there is no friendship.
That is why it is so easy to dump anyone as a leper on little more than a cross look from one of the leaders. You don't love them. You don't even love the leader. You just obey and submit.
Breathe only if given permission.
