I remember now listening to Perry’s original video a short time ago. It was the only anti-Recovery video I saw on YouTube at the time. He was pretty straightforward, lenient, and typically Evangelical Protestant in that video. But what Perry writes under the second video concerns me. He seems to be judging the whole LC by responses that may not be so typical of the LC itself. Funny I didn't run into that second video at the time, seeing as it was done about the same time.

This guy he says responded to him, and he calls it hate mail, I hope isn’t typical LC, whatever country he was from. When I visited the LC a few months ago, in LA CA USA, I met no one like this individual. If they disagreed with what you said, or if you brought up something they could take as opposition, they would just say “Oh Lord Jesus” and the discussion on that particular topic ended. And we would just go on discussing something we agreed upon. Nothing like what this guy was spouting. Perry was being too kind in not revealing the name of this man. He needs to be dealt with by his own people. If possible. This is a very bad witness for the LC as a whole. It could be that he is an example of the local church he is attending. And if so, that is not only a very sick man, but a very sick congregation, and they have nothing at all to do with the Jesus they think they are calling upon.

I have to say that I feel very blessed to have experienced in Elden Hall back in the 70’s, none of this kind of sick bias. Reminds me of Christians who call homosexuals faggots and are nothing but derogatory against them. The sin of homosexuality is no different than the sin of any Christian and such Christians act as if they are perfect and without sin. I’ve met “sinless” Christians and I have nothing to do with them out here in real life. Because I can easily discern that one of their most obvious sins is that they are lying to themselves.
