L.B.
I recall an SOP-level word that came back when I was a newbie in the mid-70's that had to do with 'oneness'. I also recall at the time finding it curious that the word actually dealt with 'agreement', not actual oneness. Being young and dumb at the time, I merely dismissed my 'misunderstanding' and continued on my way for another 35 years. As all ex-pats have now come to realize, 'oneness' within TLW has always meant obedience, blind or otherwise.
On the topic of 'instantaneous change', one can refer back to the recent post entitled, "God is a No-Show--Again!" The feasts have always held out hope-against-hope for this dynamic to find fulfillment, but as you so aptly pointed out, talkin' the word without walkin' the word will always bear little or no fruit. Many of the sweet, beaten-down sheep have manifested many more characteristics of LOVE than TLW leadership could ever hope for (hopefully not).
All the praying, prophesying and proclaiming will not overcome the resistance to walkin' in the word already delivered--LOVE your neighbor as yourself. Begin there, and change will soon become evident.
