[Trapped]

TheStarsWillFall,

I see you joined the forum recently, but I am not sure if you were reading/lurking for much prior to it?

In recent years the forum has mostly been former LC members discussing, with just a sprinkle of drive-by current LC members who just post one or two posts as "unregistered" and then never appear again. Prior to that there were two current LC members, Drake and Evangelical, who posted frequently for several years, and their posts were similar to Jay's. Actually, Jay's are "better" in the sense that he will actually acknowledge specific details of serious problems, etc, which Drake/EvanG rarely would. Unfortunately, the very nature of the LC itself means that anyone from it who posts here will be posting these kinds of posts....there's just no way around it. It's literally the nature of the beast, so to speak.

For those who have left, reading these kind of posts are frustrating, but they are indeed part of the mission of the forum, as UntoHim and Nell have stated, and has been the case for quite some time. The reason they are helpful is because they often contain many of the very thoughts and reasons and teachings that keep people trapped in the LC, and this forum is one of the only places where they can be publicly countered. The interaction of "both sides" is invaluable, as much as it is frustrating and feels like spam. Of course the mods can determine how much is too much.

But I've been helped myself a TON just in the past week or so from what ACuriousFellow in particular has written in response to Jay's posts. We wouldn't get the extremely helpful input if there weren't the typical LC posts coming in to respond to!
