My question is What does Watchman Nee or any spiritual figure other than our LORD JESUS CHRIST.........have to do with CONGRESS ?? Unless we have Americans held captive in China, I don't understand why his name and his collected works have to be brought up in the U.S. Congress. Our country is in disarray politically and spiritually. I don't understand why Mr Smith went to Washington with that statement. I would have felt the same way if Smith had used Billy Graham's name instead of Nee's.

" Probably LSM is circulating this document & interpreting it as a further vindication of Witness Lee, LSM & their Local Church movement

You mean 'the Lord's Recovery' movement....otherwise, My thoughts EXACTLY. I can only imagine...

And regarding:

I guess one question to ask is -- Do you think the US House of Representatives will ever "recognize" Witness Lee? "

Ready for this. I can't remember if I posted on this already or not. I know I argued with myself if I ought to or not...

I recently ushered at a Joyce Meyer 3 day conference. 'Delirious' was their Praise/Worship band. The music was wayyyyyyyyy too loud for my liking BUT for one of the songs, they flashed pictures of spiritual fathers and mothers from yonder days....going back to the 1700s it seemed.

Now Joyce has mentioned NEE in a few of her teachings over the years. When I heard her mention him about 4 yrs ago, I was taken by surprise. She didn't elaborate, just mentioned she had read one of his books.

So it did not surprise me when Nee's picture was flashed on the big screens. But I sure was FLOORED when they flashed a picture of Witness LEE along side Nee's pic !!! They flashed all the pictures twice so I paid extra close attention to make sure it was LEE I saw on the big screen. and Yeppers..it sure was.

Neither of them, nor any of the spiritual 'forefathers' were mentioned at all during the 3 day conference.

Just passing this along.
