Nope... I believe God wants me to meet with other believers and fellowship in and through Him... And wherever He leads me to do so, hopefully I won't get all offended in myself but just be humble and follow Him... Just as I believe I've been doing... And as I believe you and all born again believers should do as well.

So, is it possible that the Lord would ever legitimately lead someone (like myself) out of the group known as the Lord's Recovery?

Absolutely... And I speak from my own experience.

We all can develop "camp mentality"; and when we do, the Lord needs to deal with this, and will, by bringing us of of the "camp" associated with the fallen mentality we're afflicted.

But, that understood... As we can also see in scripture... We are all, to one degree or another, very stiff-necked people... Very stubborn people who love to hold onto things according to our natural preferences... And how the Lord deals with this regarding each of us as individuals can, and often does, differ.

I'm getting long in the tooth. Thursday night we had two precious brothers I knew in 1971 over for dinner. Although in high school I worked as a custodian after school with the older brother who is now 70. He shared the Lord with me at work and the Spirit used h8s testimony to help lead me to Jesus. The s3cond brother at dinner is 65 and he called on the Lord at my home in my bedroom(back in 1971) with the first brother who is now 70. After dinner we fellowshiped and sang several hymns with 65 old guy playing guitar. I shared some LC hymns. Can't believe this Jesus freak (me) is over 60. We also watched some Jesus Culture videos and worshipped along with the current crop of "Jesus freaks". We were crazy lovers of Jesus, and still are!

It's a small world after all! Two Sunday's a month I serve on the security and greeting service. I'm one of two brothers who drive around the distant parking lots in a large golf cart with bench seats and give rides to older folks, late folks, moms with kids or whatever, and keep an eye out for things. Well, this morning about 30 minutes after the service started I turned into a parking lot and there was aN Asian brother getting out of his car and I offer him a ride. On the way I hear him say Lord Jesus. I dropped him off. About 15 m8nutes before the service ends the same brother comes out of the main entrance where I'm parked and I again offer him a ride. On the way I ask if he was from Taiwan and he says yes. I ask if he knows of WN and WL and he says yes Amen. We have some fellowship and I told him I was in the local church for awhile. He says amen and when I get to his car he introduced me as a local church brother to his wife, she says amen we are one body and I said amen we have the same Lord Jesus in us. We then said goodbye.

Amen... We are one body... The Lord is simply revealing this reality to us day by day.

My daughter-in-law won't let my wife and I into her house to see our grandchildren because we don't meet with "the church". Our son brings them to our hotel. If there are any inquiring parents of college age students reading this do not allow your children to be deceived by the christians on campus movement. It promulgates the teaching of Witness Lee.
