Thanks bro, for your response. I like to keep up with brothers I knew, if not just in the meetings and service groups, but also, as HERn called it, those that were "buddies."
I like to see if they went to where I thought they were headed. Example, 'that brother is clearly going to be in leadership.' Only to find that that on fire well spoken brother, that was with the elders in demanding that I follow Witness Lee as the authority of God on the earth "or get out" got out himself, years later.
The one I'm thinking of is living in Colorado. A brother that I was a buddy with before the local church, who dis-predicted in my mind, became an elder in Texas, bumped into him. He's now like brother Untohim, a evangelical Christian, of some sort. And by the way, my friend, that was once an elder in Texas, is now a Native American Shaman.
I don't know why I like to keep up with brothers I knew in the LC. Maybe to see just how duped I was. But some of the brothers, including elders I looked up to, ended up in surprising places, some of them shocking, and mind-blowing, sisters too ; some as to their sexual identities even, and such issues, while in the closet in the LC. Some of them I deeply respected and loved -- surprise surprise.
Marshal Davis, if I'm not mistaken, while in the LC reminded me of another brother that I knew and loved, that I found out years later, after leaving the LC, was doing very bad things to his young daughters ; while appearing to be an exceptional brother, 'on fire for Christ and the Church' brother, that was admired by most every one. What a shocker. I could go on and on, with example after example.
I guess the point is, watch out who you are following. A prime example to us all : Watchman Nee ; with his private life of debauchery.
What I've learned, by keeping up with brothers and sisters since the LC is, prolly, we should shy away from hooking our wagon to any one that falls into the category of being a human.
And I'd like to warn the young ones, who are innocently prone to doing that.
