Members and lurkers, please give your input.

It will be interesting to hear from current LC'rs or from someone who recently left or has strong connections to the LSM.
As former LCrs, we know from our past experience, the purpose for us to "fellowship" with non LC Christians, was to lead them to believe there was something better than degraded Christianity.
What many failed to do, thanks to Lee's teaching was to bond with them in CHRIST. Our motive for "fellowship" with them was to reel them in, to recruit them as Neitherfirstnorlast pointed out.
There is no qualm among us former LCrs. Personally I think the attitude of "we ARE the Lord's Recovery, a cut above the rest" still holds.
That is why I try to lift up and encourage ALL Christians, especially those in name only, to look to JESUS, the Author and Perfector of our Faith.
I believe we (the posters and those walking in God's Love and Truth) are all trying to point people to Jesus, whether it be by prayer, our example (walk) and / or the WORD of our testimony.
