I'm so ashamed to have ever supported that sect known as The Lord's Recovery. I've read more and more of their articles now than ever before as well as Lee's writings and even the "We Were Wrong" article and I feel like they've all gone mad. They don't even want to look. Too much "death," they say.

"How can others not see this?!" I keep asking myself. "Why don't they just look?! They won't even look!!"

But then I remember that I was in it for nine years.
I believe the best course of action looking forward is to believe that God works all things for good because of His great love for you. You must believe that you gave your life and service to the Lord and His people, and not to some corrupt organization. He brought you to that church, and He brought you out. "Test all things hold on to the good." You have learned Christ in unique ways which have value for your own maturity and your future life.

One mature Christian counselor recommended "treasure hunting," which is to take every bad situation that comes our way, trusting that our Father has allowed it, and "hunt" to find all the good we can take away from that situation. Grace to you!
