A good friend of mine recently saw his need for Jesus Christ and became saved. Immediately he started attending 'meetings' at the place his parents went to church. On Tuesdays, some of the young adults from this church hold their own meeting in an apartment. They sing. They eat. They read scripture. Fellowship.


It sounds great. Very Acts-esque, if you will.


However, I noticed something rather strange in their tone as they approached God. In a very holy and drawn out tone, they exclaim, "Ooooh Loooord Jeeees-us" and "aaaaaaaa------men." Like letting out a deep felt moan. The only kind of bible they use, and I mean the -ONLY- kind of bible they use is called the Recovery Version. It's the bible, but with Witness Lee footnotes at the bottom, much of the time with more commentary on verses than there are verses in the bible itself. (And they all, together, read both from the bible, and from Witness Lee's commentary)


Has anyone heard of this particular sect? I found the experience to be cultish, and was also bombarded by the "elders" to accept their view on Witness Lee and the scripture. It was very strange, folks, so I thought I would come to you all to see what kinds of opinions you may have if you have heard of it.
