We now have 40-50 years of Lee's teachings and practices in order to examine their true value. Years age I was totally sold out in the program, thinking that we had designed a "better mousetrap," and all the world would soon recognize the value. (
That is, after we had successfully sued all of our detractors, even taking them to the highest court in the land.)
Our record of divorce and broken homes is worse than either that of the unbelievers or the Christians. The number of second generation church kids that want nothing to do with the Lord is staggering. The decline in attendance in the LC's is worse than any of the community churches. Sure LSM can talk up a good story, but these are the statistics that they never want to consider. Ask about how many FTT grads have left the LC's.
You could not believe how many LC saints go to James Dobson for raising children or Joyce Meyer especially for the sisters. Why? Because they have a real ministry that helps people. I heard Blended Ed Marks call all these "self help" teachers as merely "chicken soup for the soul." I could go to ITERO leaders' trainings every day for the rest of my life and never learn anything about raising children or counseling couples in crisis. That's sad. And they are actually proud of it, claiming "all we need is Christ and the church," which is quite deceptive because what you really get is Lee's teachings, and possibly neither Christ nor the church.
