But, is it? You say it is but then you say things as if it were not.

Aron, please clarify this. Do you agree or not agree with Paul's charge in I Timothy 2:12? Is it applicable today or was it for another place and time, outdated?

If you agree with it then how is it to be practiced? If you don't agree with it then why not and on what basis do you disregard it?

I'm conservative, actually. But I don't force the issue. Others are obviously much more progressive, and I respect their convictions, and their passion. This is an issue where perhaps Paul put it best, "Let each be persuaded in his/her own mind."

Or, do you think we should divide the church in the name of [false] unanimity, here - especially when, as I've repeatedly said, the "Lord's Recovery" doesn't even practice what they preach? What gospel are you preaching, then - a 'Witness Lee is always right; even when he (and his Blended Minions) contradict themselves, or follow it selectively (why no head coverings), and ignore their own supposedly iron-clad directives' gospel?

Again, why did Lee cite women as authoritative sources? And why pretend that a Dora Yu or Peace Wang would get the 'right hand of fellowship' for their ministry, even for 5 minutes, like Paul and his ministry to the gentiles, coming alongside the twelve in Jerusalem? Why the glaring contradictions, and why such pretense? Because to end the pretense would end the fantasy? And to end the fantasy would end the ministry? And to end the ministry would end the church? Are you really built upon such sand?
