Default Re: How Can LocalChurchDiscussions.Com Improve?

I'm a member of the LC; however, not very active currently due to personal responsibilities. I'm hoping to be more active in the future when time permits.

I have been reading this forum for a while. I find much of what is on here very informative. Regarding our past history, I had no idea what was happening behind the scenes until I stumbled on this site. I grew up the in LC and was fed all the "good" side of the LC. So I do appreciate seeing the other side of things. I am not stumbled by all this, but saddened.

Back to the question asked in this thread: "how to get more current LC members to post?" I think this forum *mostly* caters to non-members, ex-members, or members thinking about leaving. Of course members part of DCP will always look around here as well as part of their project.

Most current positive LC members will be reluctant to post because they feel this is a very negative site towards their own group that they dearly hold to. Regardless how *right* you may be about LC and Witness Lee's negative past, it does not necessarily mean all the local LCs are bad. The Roman Catholic Church as a whole has a very sad and negative history; however, that doesn't meant all Catholic Churches locally are bad have abusive authorities. There are many LC church members just minding their own business, enjoying their church life, and do not feel they are being controlled by LSM as some of you claim. I think many may be offended by the content on this site, regardless how truthful it may be. if you would like more current LC members to participate, my suggestion is for the discussion here to be more balanced. It needs to be more sympathetic towards current members. I understand that you are attacking the "LC system" and leaders and not the people; however people still may perceive that they are being attacked. Why would someone want to participate in a forum that is hostile towards them? Anyways, just my 2 cents.
