Why Did We Totally Miss the Mark?

[UntoHim]

I think the blended co-workers mean just about the same thing as when Witness Lee said "different flavor". Of course when Lee said different flavor he meant something different from his PERSONAL opinions and his PERSONAL feelings. And this "flavor" ran the entire gambit, all the way from the smallest of non-essentials all the way up to the essential core matters of the Christian faith.

Now "Brother Lee" has become "Brothers we" Why they have switched from "the flavor" to "the feeling of the body" is anybody's guess. Maybe they think it's a little more spiritual sounding than "What would Witness Lee feel?" But this is EXACTLY what they mean by the feeling of the Body. It's simply their attempt to follow Lee's person and work. They have virtually abandoned the biblical, orthodox and traditional Christian way of following the Person and work of Jesus Christ and His Holy Word. The results of this abandonment are being played out, in real time, right before our eyes. May God have mercy.

Like you every time I think of this I LOL!

Their God-has-one-MOTA doctrine has changed to a collective. I guess God changed His mind after Witness Lee. How do we know this. They said so!

UntoHim, maybe!
If we're talking about opinions and feelings, the blended brothers cannot cloak it as "feeling of the body" and expect just by merely invoking the phrase, there is a corresponding reality. The following excerpt is what I sent in a PM to alwayslearning yesterday, "Unless LSM brothers are open to fellowship with brothers who may not agree with them, they cannot know the feeling of the Body." Furthermore there is a concept I gained in the local churches once a brother or sister committed some offense and subsequently repented for their offense, they could never be trusted. I now realize the matter of forgiveness has no bearing on what feelings are.

If the concept of "the feeling of the Body is only designated brothers can discern "feeling of the Body". You can either call that a clergy/laiety system (as in the Dark ages only the clergy had discernment of the Word) or you could call as (UntoHim's post indicated) the new terminology for "the flavor". Which of course only a select few could discern what the current flavor is.
