Re: 1,000 Years of Outer Darkness
Raptor, thanks for clearing that up for me. I took the queens part out after posting, but you beat me to it. Anyway, the rest of it sounds familiar, but it has been a long while since I read through,...

Re: 1,000 Years of Outer Darkness
I have decided that I cannot comment intelligently about whether this or any teaching of the LCs is accurate or Biblical, but I can confirm for you concretely that this is what they teach and...

Re: Quote from today's Witness Wednesday
LSM. Could be a BB, could be the publication work, could be an LSM sanctioned locality. Could be DCP, an arm of LSM. Could be BFA, or LME, or KGB or GRU. (Wait what?) If you are perceived as...

Re: Hope for all you church kids
To clarify, this is just personal conversations I've had with people, as opposed to anything official from LSM. There have been a few who have tried to be "helpful" on the Facebook thread, who...

Re: Hope for all you church kids
Aron,
I am also very interested in those sorts of questions. Due to the atmosphere of fear and anxiety present in the LCs, people don't feel liberty to openly discuss doubts, if they have any. The...

Re: Hope for all you church kids
Speaking as one such "functional agnostic" who was raised LC, I resent this line of thinking. While there's little room for doubt that this may be the case for some, I can say wholeheartedly that I...

Re: Marriage in the "Lord's Recovery"
What I think is different than other groups is the way you very seldom hear about people openly "dating" or "courting" one another. What you have instead is two people will pretty much secretly be...

Re: Intro of an ex "Church Kid"
I, for one, appreciate that you didn't have to have experienced horrible trauma or abuse in order to still be dissatisfied and leave. Much more relatable. It sounds like some people have gone through...

Re: Don Hardy letter
LSM has deep pockets and a demonstrated willingness to litigate. I'm assuming even if he knows the allegations are true, he might not want to get involved in a costly court thing.

Re: Awoken after 38 Years
I'm saying for MrsFreedom. She said to feel free to ask any questions about her experience. Many people have left "the recovery" over the years, and many have spoken of it. What is unique about her...

Re: Awoken after 38 Years
Thank you again for your courage in being so open about this. Based on the responses, it is clear that many LCers agree with you, but so many of us who come from that world are unwilling or unable to...

Re: Greetings
So much of this resonates with me. I live in a city that is primarily caucasian and black, yet the LC here is like 80 percent Chinese. As far as I've heard, they don't use the term "good building...

Re: Greetings
I agree with all of this, perhaps not so strongly that I have no choice but to believe in an intelligent creator, but certainly I admit that a moment's reflection at almost any aspect of existence...

Re: Greetings
Aron,
Thank you for the welcome. I have read so many posts here over the past few years, I feel as though I know some of you more active members. It feels strange to actually say hello. Looking...

I should drop the pretense - if you get me started on this subject I will talk your ear off, ask anyone who knows me personally. What I mean to say is...

Moved from main page: Greetings from RambleOn
Hello,
I've been a long-time lurker, but I think now is the time to register and join in the conversation. I am a born-and-raised "church kid" in the LC, but I no longer meet, though most of my...
