Okay, Igzy, I can understand where you are coming from but a lot of this seems so fragmented without any direction. I think I understand the intent of the forum...open to those who have been or are in the LC as an opportunity to share experiences from the LC. However, the experiences are like a prism, fragmented because each of us are from different time periods, different frame of references regarding areas of the world, different levels of involvement, different perspectives and backgrounds when we joined....there are places where this fragmentation/prism joins and that is where we recognize the same experiences we had in the LC (eg. pray reading, calling on the Lord...) or the same leaders (e.g. Titus Chu), or the same locality. My question is --- is this a monolithic experience...? My own experience says no.

Like Christianity, it is fraught with fragmentation although there is an attempt at maintaining an epicenter. However, although we have had many different or similar experiences which is what we are sharing on this forum there is a realization that we need to let it go and allow the LC to do its thing. I don't see it as anything new or different from what Christianity has had to offer and I would hope that we could find the positives of what it offered in our lives and move on in our own development.
