Re: Attempting to SEEM inclusive
It's funny how confidently those in the LC can make such claims. Yet, they don't know any better. This is what they believe. Something that I have come to realize is that those in the LC have really...

Re: Attempting to SEEM inclusive
Those in the LC do seem willing to make certain admissions, especially if it involves the opportunity to warm people up to the LC. I know I have heard the same as what you mentioned about...

Re: Attempting to SEEM inclusive
Recently, I came across a few CoC Facebook posts for what they are calling an "intercollegiate meeting". Obviously, it's a term that's meant to sound inclusive, but what they're really saying is that...

Re: Attempting to SEEM inclusive
It's kind of hard for any CoC group to claim that they are inclusive when they pride themselves in possessing "unique" doctrines (ground of the church, human spirit, etc, etc). That is really their...

Re: Attempting to SEEM inclusive
It's really sad when you consider that the exclusives became is something completely different than what they set out to be. And it could have all be avoided. The LC continued in that path and became...

Re: Attempting to SEEM inclusive
I've heard stories of some of the Chinese saints exerting pressure on their "contacts" in a forceful manner to make them get baptized, even arguing with them until they cave. This is why I find it so...

Re: Attempting to SEEM inclusive
This is the pattern set forth by leaders, so that's what people learn to do. It's interesting how even ex-members could still not see past it.
Group pressure is one of the easiest ways to get...

Re: Attempting to SEEM inclusive
It really does disgust me how they utilize group pressure. It seems whenever they need compliance from someone, they just put them on the spot in front of everyone to get a desired response.
Maybe...

Re: Attempting to SEEM inclusive
I probably sound like a broken record when it comes to Christians on Campus, but it just disgusts me how disingenuous they are. I was involved at one point, as a minion for the church elders (yes...

Re: Attempting to SEEM inclusive
I will repost here what I posted on HERn's thread yesterday, because I think it is pertinent. These are descriptions of what I've seen elders/leading brothers do:

Re: Attempting to SEEM inclusive
I do think that many of the rank and file members want to and strive to be "inclusive", but they are limited both by leaders and their notions about what the LC should be. By its very definition, the...

Re: Attempting to SEEM inclusive
The LC is anything but inclusive. They can put a spin on it any way they want, but the facts speak otherwise. How could a group that kicks out members for publishing their own materials be considered...

Re: Attempting to SEEM inclusive
It is not at all uncommon for LCers to pay lip service in order to make others happy. For example, when I was a college student and we had a LC Christian club, newcomers always wanted to know our...
