    It would still be held in living rooms and rooms in the back of mom & pop shops. Small groups of believers networking together from time to time.

    Want To Sleep With A Miner

    A big courtyard with no seats, where everybody comes in and gets their afflictions healed, then when they leave the afflictions come back so they have to come back, until finally they say screw it and just stand around singing hymns.

    Actually it would look exactly like the Church Jesus organized when he lived on earth. As he said, "My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." The Church Jesus organized was absolutely perfect. And you cannot change something that is perfect and still make it perfect! It will be built upon the foundation of 12 living Apostles. It will have all the various offices which Jesus inspired the Apostles to ordain, by the laying on of hands of the Priesthood which they held. And most important, it will be guided by continuing revelation from God through a living Prophet. This doesn't sound like the Jehovah's Witnesses to me...whew4

    Look at what the mormon church has become, and all the methods it used to get there. Then consider what the opposite of that is and maybe you'd be close.

    He DOES have an organisation...
    It is the one that is fully obedient.
    It has no icons or statues of any sort...
    (Exodus 20:4-5) “You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or that is on the earth underneath or that is in the waters under the earth. 5 You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them, because I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion, bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation, in the case of those who hate me;

    It uses God's personal name with deep respect...
    (Exodus 6:3) And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them.

    Every baptised member obeys (Matthew 28:19-20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”

    It uses Jesus as an example...(Acts 5:42) And every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus.
    AND
    (Acts 20:20) while I did not hold back from telling YOU any of the things that were profitable nor from teaching YOU publicly and from house to house.

    It does not restrict the preaching work to JUST two young men. Whole families are involved.

    The elders do not wear outlandish garb, but ordinary suits.

    There are no " set in concrete" religious observances except one...
    (Luke 22:19) Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “This means my body which is to be given in YOUR behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.”
    And overall...
    (Acts 18:9) Moreover, by night the Lord said to Paul through a vision: “Have no fear, but keep on speaking and do not keep silent,
    DO NOT KEEP SILENT...
