• About this page



A practice of The Local Church (aka The Lord's Recovery) which, theologically, is a cult of Christianity

The practice of pray-reading involves the repetitious public and private reading and reciting of Scripture, Witness Lee's footnotes from the Local Church's Recovery Version New Testament, songs from the Local Church's hymn book, and passages from the writings of Witness Lee. Words, phrases, and sentences are punctuated with loudly shouted Amens!, Hallelujahs! , O Lord Jesus!, and Praise the Lord! This practice is intended to offer these spoken words as prayers unto God.

Apologetics Index (apologeticsindex.org, countercult.com, cultfaq.org) provides 25,000+ pages of research resources on religious cults, sects, new religious movements, alternative religions, apologetics-, anticult-, and countercult organizations, doctrines, religious practices and world views. These resources reflect a variety of theological and/or sociological perspectives.

The site provides information that helps equip Christians to logically present and defend the Christian faith, and that aids non-Christians in their comparison of various religious claims. Issues addressed range from spiritual and cultic abuse to contemporary theological and/or sociological concerns.

Apologetics Index also includes ex-cult support resources - including a directory of cult experts (CultExperts.org), up-to-date religion and cult news (Religon News Blog: ReligionNewsBlog.com), articles on Christian life and ministry, and a variety of other features.
