In my own journey, I began noticing discrepancies while still involved in the LC, but it wasn't until I completely distanced myself that the Lord gradually revealed much more to me. I came to understand that there was another spirit at work within that movement, and the teachings and practices were far more damaging and anti-biblical than I initially realized. This separation also accelerated my healing process.
It's essential to be bold and resolute in following the Lord. When pursuing truth, we must anticipate and be willing to bear the cost. Breaking away from a controlling religious environment is never easy and often comes with significant challenges. When my wife and I made the decision to leave, our parents, who were deeply entrenched in the Witness Lee and the Lord's Recovery movement, were living with us. If we had waited for a "better" time to depart, we might have missed the Lord's prompting to leave altogether. However, shortly after we left the LC, the Lord provided a new living arrangement for our parents and they moved out which was not feasible earlier.
It's remarkable how the Lord provided you with your girlfriend who helped you see through the deception. In my case, the Lord sent me a friend who truly understood and prayed alongside me. It's crucial not to isolate yourself from other believers during this transition from cult-like thinking to embracing normal human and biblical perspectives. Surrounding yourself with genuine Christians for support is vital during this challenging time.
