This is so ironic ... I read this kind of stuff for years ... all this talk about "
knowing life" in the Recovery.
Balderdash as they say. M.E. Barber has become larger than life in TLR, a legend in her time. Whether she was or not we will never know.
Reminds me of the opening line of my family's Catholic Bible which always sat on the living room corner table. The opening page addressed the Assumption of Mary with the caption beneath, "
Scriptures are silent, but legends abound ... " And so much of the history in TLR could also be summarized ...
Scriptures are silent, but legends abound.
Apparently none of Barber's admirers have learned anything from her great learning. Take the author of this little blurb, James Reetzke Sr. of Chicago. For years he stood with Titus Chu and GLA Company against LSM's One Publication Edict. That was because "
he knew life." Brother James even made the famous comment (
in GLA circles anyways) that, "
Christians have died for the right to publish!" What a great man of God, who knows life, and stands for the truth, ready to die if need be!
Then overnight Brother James Reetzke flip-flops his stance, siding with LSM against Titus Chu for publishing his own books thus violating LSM's greatest commandment. The repercussions were global. Does anybody know life anymore? Oh, and btw, as a concession for his loyalty, LSM now allows Brother James to continue to publish his own books through LSM's printing presses.
