Someone mentioned on a post that they did not think the divorce rate was that different than any other church. At 14 out of 15 failed marriages just from this 1 year period, I beg to differ.

I do believe it's fair to say that the more the leaders in a LC were "program zealots," the more their families suffered. OKC appeared to be the worst. My place also had a reputation in the GLA for being perhaps the most "absolute." That has never brought us the "promised blessing," rather much suffering to the families.
I am not so sure that "lessons were learned" in OKC, rather than the "chief zealot" has passed away.
Amen to the burden to pray for our families!
