Just growing up in the local churches especially during teen years can leave you with baggage by the time you reach college just in everyday life. That was my experience. Both my younger brother and I felt socially dysfunctional. I associated the legalistic manner of the local churches with all Christianity. There's the LC concept only genuine seekers of Christ meet in the local churches. By my second year of college, this concept was proven to be a fallacy.
