Hi all,
Just some observations about my experiences concerning the "ground." For me it has passed from a requirement to an aspiration.
In my time before the Lord, as long as I aspire to meet with all christians in my community, a sweet fellowship confirms this is pleasing to the Holy Spirit.

Hi Shawn,

You expressed yourself very well. Now..do you read Lee's material pretty much exclusively? Do you listen to Christian Radio..or watch Christian TV...(And I'm not saying EVERYTHING in CR or CTV is good. Some of it is HORRIBLE and makes me wonder how some of it gets on there!) But among your home group fellowship meetings, do you exclusively read from the HWMR or the RcV. Have you ever taken a book on the Holy Spirit...or the Blood or any topic you wish to fellowship over..that is not LEE or Nee?

And please don't think I'm saying for you NOT to read from the HWMR or Lee's footnotes..or books..but God didn't speak or write solely through Lee!
...and in fact, if you begin to study the Word of God in depth, you will find SOME of Lee's teachings are incorrect. If you discovered something that was incorrect, would you feel free to fellowship and discuss it without you being labeled divisive ? I've brought up some things I have respectfully disagreed with regarding a particular subject matter taught by Lee & the response I get is "For the sake of ONENESS...it doesn't matter whose right..we are just ONE."

Well...that's scary.

Sometimes I'll share something the Lord has shown ME on a given scriptures and the LC person will check the footnotes on the RcV on what Lee had to say...and then it's like " THAT'S EXACTLY what the footnote says!' Oh Please. Well...what if Lee wrote something different..and he's wrong?

See...this is what we're challenging: the Lee mentality....the practicality of the church in 'one city' is fine as long as it's done the Lee's way..using the RcV and the HWMR..and the webcasts, and trainings, and conferences.

What if a brother invited you to a Christian conference..that had nothing to do with the LC. Would you go with a receiving spirit? Would you even GO?..with NO STRINGS ATTACHED. "I'll go to your meeting if you come to mine"
