It seems there weren't any "good old days" for you guys.

Whatever it was it just seems to have really made an impact. Many people still look back to those days as something special. Oftentimes what they do talk about is just what bettercountry and JJ said, which is that everyone was allowed to speak, etc. But I don't know what this "should" look like in the present day Christian church. Did the LC have the "everyone has" right, as far as how they carried it out? It doesn't seem like it because these posters even admitted they didn't. The gift/discernment/love/order was still apparently missing. Okay....so if all those are missing, the LC wasn't doing it right I guess. But people still long for the wrongly carried out thing.
Again, not trying to step on anyone's toes or experiences. I just haven't experienced that aspect myself and those who speak about it also don't seem to be able to put their finger on it either. So I'm just trying to sort through what people are able to explain to try to figure it out myself.
