[Sons to Glory!]

As someone else alluded to, all all that obligation for so long sounds quite oppressive! It has me wondering what my kids thought of the LC scene, although it was just for around 5 years when they were growing up, and we probably also weren't in as legalistic of a locality as most.

Best wishes on your counseling. I didn't grow up there, but much of my young adult life, up until I was in my mid-30s was influenced much by the LC. However, the Lord still had a good deal of legalism and fear-oriented baggage to expose in me. The bottom-line I would convey to you is this: God is love and His purpose is all regarding His amazing love for us!
