Igzy,

It's not about being distinctive and different. I suppose once upon a time it was, to some degree. I plead guilty of all charges. I bought into the whole local church thing as an idealist supreme. With that mindset I accepted all kinds of rationalizations and strange logic.

But along with the crazy came something I can't let go of. I'm guessing you can't either, based on the fact you're still here, how many years hence, sorting out your feelings about the whole LC experience.

I note you're tagline says you were crazy enough to join the LC and sane enough to leave. I was crazy enough to join and I'm crazier to stay. But it strangely comforts me to be able to say that.
