Again, the LCM can’t see that they have become the very thing that their leaders have spoken out against. I suspect that many LC members would also speak against local churches being "for the ministry" (not realizing that's exactly what is going on). The LCM argument is that they aren't "ministry churches", they just seek want to use the "ministry of the age" and they don't have time for anything else. Members actually believe this. I did at one point. It's all really sad, because the facts speak for themselves. Those in the LCM are in complete denial.

In Lee-land doublespeak, they can "speak things into existence." Such it was with the saying, "
the churches are not for the ministry, rather the ministry is for the churches." I heard this repeatedly for decades. It took me a long time to step back and look at the facts. It wasn't that way in the beginning, but fact is the LC's existed only to serve LSM.
