There was a dramatic change in the mid-80's with all the "new way" talks and changes. We were instructed to stay close to WL in teaching and practice and attendance. What blessing we had was over. Lots of broken promises took the place of blessing from the Lord. The works of the flesh replaced the labor of love and the work of faith. Early on I saw so me answers to prayer, miracles if you will, all replaced by being "one with the ministry." So many saints got discouraged and left. The elders' responsibility shifted from primarily shepherding the flock to carrying out endless changes from on high.
