Yet when a Blended Brother gives a one and a half hour "Message" in a conference, no one frowns upon the fact that the congregation is also passive/non-functioning during the one and a half hour.
Apart from the labels, a sermon and a message are the same thing. What may differ is simply the contents of the message/sermon.

This represents a huge double standard within the LC. If the BB’s make everyone sit through 1.5-2 hour training messages, it might be characterized as the “up-to-date speaking”. When Christians outside the LC have a single speaker, it’s considered “nullifying” the function of each member.

Come to think of it, some of the BB’s mostly travel around to whatever LC offers them a soapbox. Would these BB’s ever succumb themselves to the LC “prophesying” meetings that everyone else must participate in? Me thinks not.
