The LRC plods along like everyone involved should know what a "Recovery" is and what its rules of operation are. But that in fact is not true. No one knows. That's why there is so much confusion. Is it a church? Is it a denomination? Is it a movement? Is it God's unique move on the Earth? Who knows? God never meant for us to be organized as a "Recovery."

But the least they could do is admit it's just a movement--a movement God may have used, but nothing but a movement nonetheless. All the other stuff is self-delusional hype. The sooner you realize that the quicker you'll get to 20-20 clarity and moving on in a healthy way.

The whole "we are not a movement, we are God's move" was a bold thought. But saying it don't make it so, and verifying it is impossible. Therefore it was a stupid thing to say.
