I have two documents from Jim Moran, "The Exclusivism of the Local Church" (18 pages) by Jim Moran and "A Brief History of the Local Church" (5 pages). Over the last 36 years I have periodically gone online (after about 1985 when the internet started to become available) and looked up material on the LC. These two articles are well footnoted but the last dates listed are 1990. Not sure when I printed them out.
It's interesting that Moran quotes Lee [Witness Lee, Christ versus Religion (LSM:1971)pp 109-110 and Witness Lee, Young People's Training, p. 24], "...Only the golden lampstands, the local churches, are the testimony of Jesus. You may love the Lord, be very spiritual, and know the Bible more than others, but if you are not in the local churches you are not the testimony of Jesus...When we were in the denominations, we were blind. I do not believe that any dear Christians who have really received sight from the Lord could still remain in the denominations....Consider all the denominations. They only have division and confusion." No wonder it has been so difficult to leave the LC...nothing is out there after hearing this stuff despite any level of spiritual life.
