To that end, it is entirely appropriate to present experiences from both sides of the issue. Surely, when some relay their difficult and negative experiences, those of us who had positive experiences should not share them in a dismissive way. But I don't think it is fair for this thread to be insulated from "positive experience" posts. Such posts can be challenged, called out as "rare" or whatever else. But on this thread I think they are appropriate.

Peter,
I do understand your comments and I may seem a bit worked up.
Can you think of any examples of kids who grew up in the LC that haven't had to overcome significant personal & family obstacles in establishing a healthy walk with the Lord? I'm not asking for names. Just curious if you can think of any of them. I think there are a few, but just a few.
The only ones I know of are:
1. Those who have had to pass through some amount of personal hell first.
2. Ones that still claim membership and whose eyes are still glossed over.
This is open to response from others too.
Matt
P.S. I now know of quite a few of a non-LC background that have grown up and had healthy walks with the Lord without significant personal hell. Of course, there is always some struggle, but nothing like what I've seen and heard about for the 2nd generation of LCer's.
