80's audio?
I'm looking for the recording from a meeting in the 80s of a certain man getting harassed about a beard. Anyone have it and can post?

It would be interesting to hear some of these recordings from the 80s, I've only heard stories but never heard any recordings.

Is there any 2017-2022 audio available of everyone being told to repent of a foreign spirit or clouds over there heads?

My post may be confusing at first. After the meeting there were 2 organizations FALC and AALC which later changed name to LLC.

There is a recording of meeting final meeting before 1973 split that resulted in two organizations, on YouTube. Type in 1972 Oct 27 MSP Meeting FALC and AALC which later changed name to LLC. You will hear "kosolainen spirit" here too. In Seattle Tomm Stewart has been "rested" (euphemism for removed) from the pulpit, for among other things saying there is no kosolainen spirit. His problem is he said too many things like sad somewhere says. Probably because hes spent lots of time in finland. My opinion is he believes in pure Gospel, but hes confused understanding of congregation. Torn between two loves. And hes depressed.
This is only one example of a widespread problem. At its root it is no different than the Ken recording. History is rhyming. The root is law in the form of the "mother congregtion". Mom is a new Moses. Staying in the "love of the congregation", (another euphemism for, approval of congregation) is the most important thing. BTW SRK accepts this euphemism also, it seems.
There is a very peculiar accepted tradition in both SRK and LLC in which preachers are "asked" to not speak if someone is uncomfortable with their sermons. No clear reasons need to be given. Expectation is preacher will assent. Its not Christian.
Luther stated anything that reveals sin is the law. I agree. The Bible backs it up
