Dear Don,

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto 
him.  Prov. 18:13

For your information Phil is not associated with the so called close 
meetings.

As to the Lord being in the midst, judge ye for yourself.  Matt. 18:20 is 
the only verse any group can claim for His presence in their midst.

If you study through the Old and New Testament about the place and name of 
the Lord  you will find there are certain characteristics associated with 
gathering to His name.

Trust  this helps,

Warmly,

Harold
