Even to this day, none of the Local Churches make even the slightest effort to reach out a hand of fellowship to any Christian churches in their respective cities. None of the LC Elders ever attend the many prayer breakfasts or pastor's get togethers, much, much less would a Local Church ever participate in a mult-church or para-church gospel outreach.

Are you serious Bro?
Being a so-called "Pastor" is the Recovery's version of the "unforgivable sin." I had an elder totally and unexpectedly exploded all over me one time, "
Don't make me a pastor." You'd think I just called him a "
liberal."
Adultery, murder, theft, false witness, etc. are all forgivable (
even excusable for certain leaders) but not if one becomes a Pastor.
God forbid!
I have heard from numerous sources, from those still in and those who are now out of the LC's, that John Myer's worst fault was that, "
John wanted to be a Pastor." Imagine that!
Ultimate anathema, no doubt!
Pastor John. Crucify him!
