You don't have to buy what LSM peddles. In fact, if you already have about three of their books you've gotten about all they have to offer because most of the stuff just repeats itself. Why give them more of your hard-earned cash? Why not support a ministry that doesn't destroy people's lives? There are a lot of them.

Igzy, that is unfair to say that this ministry destroys people's lives. That is only half the truth. The other half is that it has helped many people. I know many who where helped. Many who would be lost today without it. Even one told me that she would have committed suicide if it weren't for members of the LC helping. So your comments about "choosing to do without LSM's products on the other hand is quite easy" is not exactly accurate.
Everything is a 2-edged sword. It depends on how you use it. The bible can also destroy people's lives if used in the wrong way.
This is why it is hard for current members to come to this forum. This kind of unwarranted bashing is just unfair and is tiring to respond to. I agree with many negative things said about LSM and BB. But to trash WL/WN's ministry and the LCs altogether and say that there is nothing positive in them is unrighteous.
The integrity of this forum depends on how you present the facts. If people begin to see that this forum is all about WL/WN bashing, then they will not believe your talk about the LSM & BB abusiveness and corruption. If they see that you are balanced and unbiased, then people will hear what you have to say because you will have some credibility. This was what attracted me to this forum. There are some members on this forum with a very balanced view and I really appreciate it.
Don't we want more current LC members to see the corruption behind the leadership (especailly what happened in the 80's)? Then it will help if you don't unfairly trash what they a part of. People are generally fair. If they see that you are fair and balanced in your presentation, they will believe what you have to say.
