[countmeworthy]

I was there from 1975 - 1978.. then 'migrated' to Tempe, Az The LC in Tempe was a disaster as I think everyone wanted OUT...it was more of a venting church than anything else..

I still have a heart and love for my San Diego brethren. I was totally shocked when I went to visit in 2005 and there was a SIGN on the building that said 'the church in San Diego'.

There were a few 'old timers'... but many had left or moved away 'migrated'. I still had a good time visiting nevertheless. But I could not ever go back. I would not fit in!! Everyone was engrossed in the 'footnotes' of Brother Lee and the HWMR garbage.

Yeah... the narrative is old and antiquated. It has not changed in eons.. decades!!

The picture on that page is of mountains with pure, wind driven snow, and the history presented exactly matches the picture- so high, so clean, so pure. There is no mention of their subservience to LSM, no mention of how many saints and elders walked away- it's a total plastic, copacetic, false narrative of the true history. If Paul had used this method, Corinthians 1 and 2 could have been a one chapter book, Luke would have the Acts looking like a cake-walk! I mean a history should be a history. All Israel had before them their complete history, with the good, the bad and the ugly, so that they could learn, reflect, understand, seek the Lord about, the how, when, where, and whys of their present state.
Denial, a false narrative, an unreal assessment of the true condition is the characteristic of the church in Laodicea. It does not reflect the person or work of the one who walks among the churches, whose words are a sharp, two edged sword.
Their history points out that they have been meeting in San Diego for 35 years, and that there are about 275 adults currently meeting. There are over 1.5 million people in the city proper. What's wrong with this picture?
