As for Paul, I agree with him about some things and not others. If the LC accurately embodies Paul's vision, then I would say it's too inward looking, too ingrown and too exclusive. Does the world really need people so preoccupied with themselves?

I'm sure there have been lots of changes good and bad since I left. I know people have the 'freedom' to watch TV, go to the movies and now with the internet, I am sure there a lot of LCrs checking out websites, you tubes, movies that the blenders can't control.
I also think (but don't know for sure) that the younger people dress more stylish than they did in the late 70s and 80s.
Among the reasons I felt it was time for me to leave when I did is that our meetings were beginning to be centered around Paul's ministry. Lee was the Paul of this age and Lee was constantly being compared to Paul. For years to come I did not want to hear or read anything on Paul especially Ephesians!
Also, many of the meetings were no longer locally centered. Lee was being videotaped and those vids were sent to the different localities so when we would meet, we were now watching Lee on TV.
ugh.
