I have seen plenty of LC leaders who are unfit for their roles. It blows my mind to think that so many could blindly follow such leaders. At one point in time, I bought into all the nonsense about the LC not having any hierarchy, so it never occurred to me that there was anyone in particular exercising authority or control.
In the past, I might have said that if there was any major problem among LC leaders, it might be that they are overzealous. When you consider some of the things that have been brought to light on the internet, it is clear the overzealous leaders are probably the least of the problem. There are leaders who are utterly lacking in transparency, and as is seen from this excerpt, even demon possessed.
Every LC member should ask themselves, what kind of system enables these kinds of leaders? For the most part, those leading churches outside the LC are in a leadership position because that is what they are fit for. I don’t hear about the issue of authority coming up much outside the LC. It really makes you stop and think.
