What I am realizing is that the "system" of the LC is wrong, and that can't be fixed.
For a number of years, leading up until now, I was in and out of LC meetings. I would always attend the Lord's Table meetings, but as for other meetings, I would go when I felt like it, and then I would stop going for awhile. I always felt that I needed to get back with the program and start going to more meetings, because I felt like I was "straying". I look back at this now and the situation is so clear, LC meetings never have met my needs, period. I have seen many saints in the LC here and there that are always in and out of the LC. They meet for 6 months, then you don't see them for a year. It's obvious that the LC doesn't meet their needs either, but something keeps them coming back. I've always found it to be a little peculiar that people don't try other places when they aren't content in the LC, but I think something about the LC conditions people to remain in this type of situation.

Probable reasons for this is:
1) a soul tie to the LC
2) transfer of spirits from the LC system to the congregation
an example of
transfer of spirits:
When people first come into the LC, they come with their own personalities. After a few weeks, months or a year after becoming a Leite, it is no longer they that live. And it is NOT Christ in them that lives either. It is the LC spirit that lives and operates through them. The way people dress (at least back in the 70s'), the LC lingo, the same way people 'prophesy' or 'testify', the way they behave.
What a soul tie is:
"A soul tie is the joining or knitting together of the bonds of a relationship. Godly soul ties occur when like-minded believers are together in the Lord:

On the surface, it appears the Lc is knitted together IN THE LORD. But we soon learn that weave tightly knit together is not so much the LORD but to the LC.

Godly soul ties occur when like-minded believers are together in the Lord: friends, marriage partners, believers to pastors, etc.
Relationships that lack `God-centeredness' can result in ungodly soul ties between friends, parents and children, siblings, marriage partners, former romantic or sexual partners,
domineering authorities, etc. An unhealthy attachment with another can bring about a psychic control that can adversely affect the life, e.g. a mother who refuses to relinquish her hold on her children (tied to her apron strings), a person who refuses to release to the Lord the memory of an old romantic flame (withdrawing into nostalgia in times of loneliness), a person who holds a grudge or a judgment against another, someone who uses spiritual forces to control others (witchcraft), etc."
The Bible speaks of what is today known as soul ties. In the Bible, it doesn't use the word soul tie, but it speaks of them when it talks about souls being knit together, becoming one flesh, etc. A soul tie can serve many functions, but in it's simplest form, it ties two souls together in the spiritual realm.
There are many websites on soul ties and transfer of spirits.
Learning about them helped me to break all kinds of unhealthy ties.
