OK member,
Since we can ask anything, here you go: not sure the forum will be ok with my questions.
I’m not a member of this forum, however I am a former member of the local church.
There are some things that stand out as big red flags in your post, that should be addressed.
1) if you have your own ministry in Christian apologetics, and you actually know anything about apologetics, there is zero chance you can be a member of a local church for a while. I guess unless you work for DCP as a local church “apologetics unit”.
2) if, as you say you are a lurker on this this forum, ( just as I am), there is absolutely no need for the current members to state their objections to the local church. There is almost 100000 post here, and if you honest enough to read them and write an apology for the local church then you would not have come here asking the same questions.
3) if, as you claim you are related to the blended bros of the LC, firstly, there is no such thing as a personal ministry in there! You ether eat things of the Witness or you are out, there is no in between. So something smells like a data collection operation done by the locals here, instead of actually being honest and revealing who you are and asking questions in normal human way, JUST AS EVERY OTHER CHRISTIAN GROUP DOES!
I would be very cautious and show some discernment with this. Unless you just want to repeat and do someone’s homework for them. This doesn’t smell right, or even for real. Sorry. Smells like another sham or scam.
