I felt the same way. Some of it was of God, some of it was of men. Eventually I left. I just felt the Spirit of God, undeniable, thrusting me back into "the wilderness". I don't regret my choices, because above all I always chose to seek. "Seek and you will find". Find and you will marvel (see the many NT verses, "His disciples marveled greatly"). Marvel and you will reign. Reign and you will find rest. Because that is your destiny.
The marveling tailed out in Witness Lee's local church, somewhere between being castigated for being "old and cold" and then "God became man to make man God", to the "high peak revelation" and "great revival to end the age". . . I really tried singing "Oh home in the church/where we've ended our search" but I guess I was just born a seeker, so I decided not to end my search.
I don't begrudge you or
Evangelical for your decisions to stay. Sorry if I've been somewhat dismissive or disrespectful. I enjoy writing & get carried on by my thoughts & doing so often build straw men, just to blow them down, same as Lee & many more did before me. "Fallen Christianity" & all that. . . we all fail somewhat. That's why mercy saves - show mercy, get mercy.
Ah well. Jesus reigns, and in Him alone we hope. Peace & God bless.
