awareness, what happened to you is normal, and many have passed thru the same process.
I think every believer wants to believe that their congregation is something special of the "Lord's Move." Not "the" move of God, but part of it for sure. It's kind of like the little boy saying, "my Daddy is the best Daddy in the whole world."
We also need discernment. We are instructed to "test all things." You did, to your credit, and the LC "failed" the test. You moved on, shaking the "MP dust" from your feet.
A "sucker" is not the guy who was taken advantage of, but the guy who never even checked to see if he was being taken advantage of.
