Well this sums it up pretty well I would say. Looking back, it seems so illogical...to be "anti" the very Body of Christ that we were claiming to be "the best" part of. I guess this is just one of the many paradoxes in the Local Church that allowed us to become a caricature of ourselves. Now, after decades of this charade, the LC has become a virtual antithesis of what they claim to be, and the walls they have built up around seem impenetrable. May the Lord have mercy.
