I'm still not sure if leaving completely is what the Lord wants me to do since my immediate family and nearly all of my social circle is with those in the LC. I asked my question on this thread to simply see if others have come across a similar alternate to the LC. So far all the replies have been very helpful! Thank you all.

The best thing is that You are interested in what Lord wants You to do!
If ships are called by shepherd I do not know if they care what field they are leaving.
I am human I have heart and I miss many saints ( with some still have contact).
I was saved when I was 18. I was sinner hopeless and lost .
I would like to have my kids seeking like You. They are not in church life any more.
I was 2 years in denomination but it does not matter. The point is to know Jesus personally.
On one side is lost but on another is gain. Trust Lord Jesus and make a personal contract with Him. He is faithful and will lead You. Just tell Him everything in prayer.
In LC teaching is so complicated that You can be really confused.
Read Bible independently, be filled with His Word. Then You will get certain feeling.
Remember! Jesus is not some air to breathe in. Hi is Person. Make Him Your personal friend. Personal Savior. Personal Shepherd.
edit. Try to pray in Your room the way as You talk to any real person. Without breathe Ooooooh! Loooooord Jeeeeesus! Be natural. God knows hearts.
I do not say You don't do it but... I know LC practices so just wanted share.
Jesus called Himself our friend. I have never heard in LC this expression.
