I'm happy to hear the Lord is leading you out of the Local Church. I met with the Local Church group in my area for a short time. After the mask fell off and I left, I too thought it was the Lord who had led me in. But after some time apart from the group, I realized even though I had my suspicions in the beginning I suppressed them and allowed myself to be led by my own desire for community. I mistook my own feelings for the Lord's leading. He did however allow me to go and meet with the group. Some good came out of it, I hope. I had the chance to witness and share my testimony of the Lord. I pray seeds were planted but in the end it taught me all the more the importance of prioritizing the personal relationship with Him first as to prevent from being misled in the future. While you can commend the oneness ideal within the Local Churches, you can also admire the same principle within communism. I'd rather not give any credibility to movements that are ultimately harmful if I don't have to. Just my .02. I do hope you're finding sufficient fellowship with Him in the time being. Perhaps that is what He is drawing you toward.
