I meet with a small group of brothers weekly. Some are ex-Recovery bros and some are aren't. I was relating something of my testimony, how the Lord had showed me (in a pit of desperet seeking) there were plenty of those outside TLR that were strongly seeking and experiencing Him in a fresh way. The non-Recovery bros just looked puzzled by that, so I explained how we in the LC were indoctrinated to think a certain way, by being told over & over & over "There's nothing outside TLR that is fresh from the Lord, so don't even bother to look!" Again, the ex-Recovery bros understood, but the others really didn't understand how we could be duped like that.
And now it seems most incredulous to me that we swallowed that soooo readily . . .
