Otago Campus Christians Cult

A podcast interview with Jacob Howard, an ex Local Church of Witness Lee member, and author of the website thelordsrecovery.org, talks about how he got recruited into the church, and how he eventually came to realize it was a cult.

E103 - CULTISM: The Devil's Masterpiece Examining how cultism is used in many ways, will be used to destroy the world, and how our experience with it has equipped us to recognize it.

"Christians on Campus is the recruitment arm of the Recovery. They happily follow a special prophet named Witness Lee, who they believe unlocked the insufficient, locked, closed Scriptures. They practice their Christian faith in a mind-numbingly odd way. They believe in heretical, extra-biblical doctrines that are not Christian at all."

Witness Lee CULT Exposed - MENTAL ILLNESS Caused By Witness Lee's CULT Teachings!!! (Pt 1)

In this video Cal gives some history about the early days of the Lord's Recovery movement. It didn't start out as a cult. It was just a group of believers, meeting together to pursue God. However Witness Lee started to control the group more and more, until he proclaimed that members were to follow him exclusively. Anyone that opposed this was kicked out and demonized. This is when the church went from a group of believers, to a highly controlled, highly organized, hierarchal organization with one person in charge - Witness Lee - to make all the rules. Anyone who disagreed with "The Ministry" of Witness Lee was 'of satan' and 'spreading poison'. No one else was allowed to preach anymore. Witness was a prophet, who had recovered the 'lost truths' of the Bible. Only he could interpret the Bible, not members themselves. Many people who have been in since the very beginning do not realize that it is now a cult. Because it wasn't one when they first joined. But over time it became one. It's a case of boiling the frog in the pot. Put him straight into the pot of boiling water, and he will realize and jump out. But put him in warm water, and raise the temperature slowly and he won't realize what is actually happening. That is why new recruits into this cult are introduced to Witness Lee's doctrines very slowly - over several years even. This way, the new member is oblivious to the fact that they are actually in a cult. It is incredibly deceptive.

E102 - A Short Personal History of "Recovery" Early Days and Decline My experience of the early days of the LR and how and why it declined.

In this random street interview with a Local Church member, you can actually see how little members know about the true gospel. The person interviewing her prompts her again and again, waiting for her to tell him the gospel, but she is not able to. Instead, she actually recites back to him Witness Lee's gospel about 'exercising the spirit', and 'calling on the lord' and 'that we're a vessel to contain him'. Here it is plain and clear that Witness Lee preaches an entirely different gospel - one that is based on doctrines that he came up with, that aren't even found in the Bible. When Local Church members are preaching around university campuses, they are not proclaiming the true gospel. They are proclaiming Witness Lee's gospel.

Hi all, please invite any friends to like this page, especially if they are attending university, to help raise awareness of this cult. The Local Churches are very active on university campuses throughout New Zealand and use very deceptive recruitment tactics!

Witness Lee CULT Exposed - the Full-Time Training (Brainwashing) in Anaheim (Pt 1)

Another ex-member speaks out about the Local Churches (of Witness Lee) being a cult.

"This guy, by all these people that follow him, and by himself, he claimed it, he's the 'Minister of the Age'. Are you kidding me? Where is that in the Bible? He's the Minister of the Age? He is 'the one' - and I believed this - He is the 'go between'. If you want to know God's ministry, the interpretation of the Bible, you have to go through this man. What this man says is 'The Ministry'. He becomes the Christ. And of course everyone in the group will say 'oh no, the Lord is my head'. No he's not. Everything that comes from the Lord has to flow through this man. It has to flow through Witness Lee."

"And he said, “See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them." Luke 21:8

One of Cal's best episodes. He so accurately articulates how the Local Church abuses its members.

Another ex Local Church member of 12 years speaks out testifying that the Local Churches are a cult! He is a graduate of the Full Time Training in Anaheim.

"I just want to go on record and just say this group is in fact a cult, plain and simple. It's a Christian cult, however you want to describe it. Witness Lee is definitely their head, their leader, obviously. And the teachings are demonic, plain and simple. There's just demonic teachings with it."

"The people that you meet in this group are some if the kindest, sweetest, caring people...nice, generous... they'll provide meals for you, hospitality for you, but all of that doesn't negate the fact that it's a cult. It's still a cult. There's still demonic teachings that will greatly lead you astray from the way of the truth."

Is the Local Church the 'One True Church' or not?

E98 - Questions from Listeners, Bible Versions A general response to questions, and some comments about Bible versions.

A common question is, 'how do I leave the LC'? There are so many fears with leaving, knowing that you will likely be shunned by friends and family. Maybe you are worried that bad things will start happening to you, as Witness Lee said would happen if you left. Maybe you feel guilt and shame because you are joining 'degraded Christianity'. Maybe you will doubt you are even a Christian anymore, because the LC said you can't remain one if you leave. Maybe you will doubt God even cares about you anymore, because the LC claimed unique and special access to God. Maybe you will expect to be 'punished' by God for leaving. These are all common thoughts that members deal with when they leave, but they are lies. That is why this cult is so damaging - because they tell so many lies. If you leave the LC, you are not leaving God, God is not going to punish you for it. God is still with you. God still loves you.

Witness Lee CULT Exposed - How To Find HEALING From CULT Abuse!

"They're told as well, that the mind is bad, our opinions are of the flesh...Even if you believe Witness Lee is speaking heresy, you're told, you know, don't worry about it, just let it go, focus on keeping the oneness with the Body. So you have fear, shaming, and mind control at quite a high level in this cult. And it's likely that the student will learn that the Local Church (of Witness Lee) is the only true church that can truly build the Body of Christ. And that all other churches can't really build the Body of Christ like the Local Churches can, because they don't have the ministry - Witness Lee's ministry."

Using Steven Hassan's BITE model as a guide, the LC is very specialized at thought control. Particularly by training members to automatically dismiss thoughts that are critical or doubtful about leadership or the Ministry of WL. Members are trained to feel guilty for having such thoughts pop into their heads and are trained to recognize them as "of the sinful flesh", meaning they cannot trust their own judgement or instinct, but must give in to blindly obeying the elders and the Ministry. Elders use shame, guilt and fear to control thoughts of members. This is spiritual abuse.

"Otago Campus Christians, an OUSA-affiliated club, own a complex of flats on Grange Street with at least 20 rooms. For some students, the group is a close-knit family of like-minded Christians. For others, it is a controversial and isolationist group with concerning behaviours."

"The only God-man that has ever existed is Jesus Christ, and we as believers are his humble servants. We are not Gods. Local Church members, you guys are not Gods and you will never be Gods. At the moment you are servants of a proud, hypocritical, false teacher."

"But the one thing that was standing in my way was the fellowship. And this is where you pretty much have to get their permission for making any personal decisions. The boy-girl relationships is a classic example of that. Adults in their mid twenties have to get permission from the Lord's Recovery elders before entering into a relationship."

Requiring permission for major life decisions such as relationships and where you should live, comes under behaviour control in Steve Hassan's BITE model, and is a classic sign that you are in a high control group.

"...That's exactly why this group targets Christians, their goal is to recruit Christians into their group (and non-Christians), they call this 'bringing people out of religion and bringing them into the proper unity - the proper unity being their cult. So don't be deceived if you see a Christians on campus group talking about how accepting they are of all believers - not really!! They accept those who they think might be potential recruits, potential candidates for their wider cult."

"The perpetrator in The Church in Houston has maintained access to countless children and young people. He may have continued to abuse. I have to live with these facts. The way this situation was handled should be deeply distressing to all of us. And it’s not unique. Being asked to cover up a sexual assault helped me to see the ugly facts behind the “church-life.”
