Double Standards

The "feeling of the Body" touted by LSM leadership for years, really has nothing to do with either the Head nor the actual body of Christ. It is simply a self-serving agenda pushed on the saints by their pseudo-leaders and hirelings.

I have witnessed literally dozens of occasions when the real feeling of the actual members of Christ was in direct opposition to the latest directive from headquarters. LC leaders spend so little actual time with her members that they have not a clue what the members feel.

I have said this in other posts -- for decades the LC leaders "seeded" their members with suspicions about other leaders with whom they rival. For years I heard these suspicions sown into me by both Anaheim and Cleveland, along with all their local surrogates. I'd like to have a dollar for every hour I was forced to sit and listen to both sides pitch their complaints. And then they call it "fellowship."

Absolutely right Ohio. Leaders; local or extra-local generally spend more time with one another than with "small potatoes" that they have no clue what members feel.
Even if they did and saw the "feeling" was not coinciding with fellowship coming from Anaheim or Cleveland, leaders would dismiss the feeling of brothers and sisters as critical, negative, etc.
I could say "we" in the home meetings should spend more time praying for one another and less time taking turns reading from ministry publications. That would be construed as being critical and negative.
