Wow. Is this juicy!
Folks find me ANY group of Christians be it Protestant, Catholic, Independent, whether any denomination of non-denominational identification you wish. Be it Baptist, Methodist, conservative, liberal, any kind of professing gathering you want.
And I bet you could find SOMEBODY as an "X member" complaining how horribly their experience was when they were "members".
"X Members" with scandalous, sensational sounding grumblings about how they didn't find a UTOPIA in some gathering of devotees are MORE than a dime a dozen.
Dive is a somewhat closet participant is something which he likes to keep close (hush, hush) to the vest while he scrutinize other congregations. You won't get much if anything from, Divegeester about where or who he congregates with. If he did ever have the courage to announce with whom he gathers, I bet somewhere on the Internet one could probably dig up "X Member" howling about how bad he or she was treated in that group.
Unlike me who have readily listed places I have met over the years Divegeester will keep that close and personal. Shhhhhh. Like no unhappy X Members could ever spout off about how rotten Divegeester's group was to that "X Member".
Divegeester, Under - - - Underwhelmed here.
Hey, if some left Jesus and couldn't hack being disciples anymore, should we expect any Christian gathering will never step on someone's toes sometime?
"Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard this said, This word is hard; who can hear it? . . . From that time many of His disciples went back to what they left behind and no longer walked with Him." (John 6:60, 66)
The expected pushback will probably be - "Ah there you go comparing yourself to Jesus." No, I do not make light of criticisms. But disgruntled "X Members" are always possible no matter WHAT.
Dive the groups you've met with over the years (if any), no disgruntled "X member" to be found somewhere ?
I sure am looking forward to the local churches having their International training of elders and responsible ones. Can't wait for the rich fellowship. Its always encouraging.
The messages will be translated into these participating languages:
Amharic, Bulgarian, Burmese, Cebuano, Chinese, English, Farsi, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.
No, not given by Brother Witness Lee who went to be with the Lord he faithfully served in 1997. Its 2021 now and the local churches are flourishing across the globe, thank the Lord.
@sonship saidHaving bizarrely combined praying and reading the Bible, is your cult considering the amalgamation of worship and washing the car?

Your are a member of a cult sonship.
I wear your criticism as a badge of honor. Thankyou for the honor.
Now, in the last ten years who are the fellow believers in your faith where you congregate ? As I have provided you with websites, addresses, and particulars of over 30 or more years participation, why don't you do the same?
Where and with Whom have you regularly gathered together for worship, study, companionship, mutual edification and such ?
You're not concealing such details are you ?
@ghost-of-a-duke saidActs 28:22
Having bizarrely combined praying and reading the Bible, is your cult considering the amalgamation of worship and washing the car?
“But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.”
Some people who decide they have heard enough rumors, thankfully are noble enough go do a little learning on their own.
Thanks for incentivizing some.
Some people probably will see through your lack of substance here to only cast stones at others.
C'mon Divegeester, When you WANT to reply quickly you have no problem.
Bump for the wannabe Grand Exposer Divegeester:

Short and sweet second opinions on our practice of pray-reading.
Pay no attention to the people in chains in the background being whipped and forced to pray-read the Bible.

AND some corresponding confirming opinions from Christians NOT meeting with us as local churches per se.
