Local Church Discussions - View Single Post - LSM’s Ignorance of the Synoptic Problem

One more thing that I wanted to add is that I've seen plenty LC members who are "unhappy". They also can't point their finger on what's really wrong, they just know something is wrong. I've seen people who have been around 30 or more years and it's obvious they are quite disillusioned with it all.

Some think the solution might be to "church hop" between localities (I've seen people do this). They leave one LC for another thinking that the grass is greener on the other side. Obviously, the real issues go unaddressed. When they finally get fed up with it all, there are now plenty of writings on the internet that address various concerns that LC members might have in common.

I was always surprised how much I could related to, even though events and circumstances were different, the patterns are the same. With Nigel's writings that challenge both Lee's fundamental teachings and the ones I never thought to consider, I feel more confident making that extra step, rather than just wishing that I could "fix" the LC.
