In his short reply, aron said much that many of us were and are troubled with.

Nee and Lee created a false standard of the "proper name" from several descriptive verses in Revelations. They also condemned all pastors, priests, and reverends only to replace them with full-timers, coworkers, and "brothers" from LSM. It's all a huge name-blame-game with Rule #1 "only what we do is right."

Lee's Genesis L.S. message on Lot excoriates any and all free groups as his incestuous daughters, conceived in caves. Read it. It is simply ruthless. But, are not free groups the only Christian gatherings truly without a name? For Lee to condemn them was the height of hypocrisy. So the standard he used to judge all denominations could not be applied to them. No problem. Change the standard for free groups. Remember Rule #1.

After every major "storm" of purging, with so many precious saints ousted, Lee always promised great blessings. "If only you would be absolutely one with my ministry, like in the days of Elden Hall ..." And so the zealots hunkered down, ready to purge any and all who appeared lukewarm to the ministry, thus preparing us for the next "storm." How many of these "storms" do we need to pass through in order for wisdom to seep thru the cracks of our heart?

I personally have posted literally hundreds of LC hypocrisies which her supporters have never responded to. They can't. That's just how LSM has always covered up its unrighteousness. Yet her supporters return to the same old condemnations of the body of Christ. Like that brother near me who sits at home in his closet, condemning all churches for not doing the same, the LC faithful adhere to their master's old "convictions."
