I know some who have become overly fascinated with Sabbaths, blood moons, Jewish calendars, and the law. There is a very real danger they are being brought to nought from Christ. Paul told the Galatians that he was afraid for them, since they had begun to celebrate days and weeks and months and years -- all a clear reference to bona fide Christians going backwards into Judaism.
Many have left the LC's only to have been enamored by those who wrongly use the OT to capture God's children by another gospel, rather than the unique way of faith patterned by the NT apostles.

I don't know about you but I missed the rapture in 1988. Did you ever read this book by Edgar Whisenant?:
88 reasons Why The Rapture Will Be in 1988: The Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hash-Ana)
Do you know that he sold 2 million copies and people were very serious about this. This was not taken lightly and some people sold everything. Whisenant was a NASA engineer who had studied the Bible and came up with 88 reasons why it was going to happen in 1988. He quotes extensively from the Bible to arrive at his conclusions. He saw Israel as the fig tree (Israel became a nation in 1948 and he added "this generation will not pass away" after Israel became a nation with a generation as 40 years) quoted by Jesus in Luke 21 (“Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near.") and used that as his basis for 88 reasons why the Rapture would take place in 1988.
In all likelihood we have missed hundreds that have been predicted so I think Ohio has it right.
