Great story, Ohio.

My point for bringing all this out was to apply some balance to those who go overboard in dismissing what we were a part of back then. Because in my experience that leads to cognitive dissonance, where you try to tell yourself something but your memory and experience tell you something else.

Regardless, whatever was blessed about it, it didn't belong to Witness Lee or anyone else. It belonged to God. It was his blessing. It's nothing to be ashamed of or to try to run away from or forget or explain away. I think we should treasure those blessings while at the same time understanding that what some tried to turn it into (the unique move, "Lord's Recovery," only true testimony, MOTA, yada, yada) was all the invention of man, and shows how people can take something of God and ruin it. Sadly, it wasn't the first time and it probably won't be the last.

At the same time, it is in the past. It's not what is happening now, except that the same Lord over all who made it happen then is rich to all that call on him now.
