Why does Les Feldick like being independent from denominations?

Les teaches that the class is an informal Bible study with various denominations represented, but they do not try to temper or trumpet any particular organization. He says they are totally independent, and he likes it that way because then he is free to teach as he feels the Holy Spirit has instructed him. He stresses he is not there to run anybody else down or to disagree with them; instead, they open the book, and his constant reference is “what does the book say?” It does not matter what a denomination says, what any other group says, or what he says. The thing that counts is what the book says.
