But hey, someone has to testify for the oneness of the body of Christ.
I probably sound like a broken record when it comes to Christians on Campus, but it just disgusts me how disingenuous they are. I was involved at one point, as a minion for the church elders (yes elders) on the campus, all the while claiming that we were "just Christians" with no outside contentions. LCers know very well that the campus work is run by full-timers or elders. I knew it was wrong, but what could I say or do? Eventually I just had to "disappear". And that was my reaction as a "church kid", not as a student who didn't understand the group.

Those who meet Christians on Campus are innocent students seeking a Christian fellowship. Instead they are presented with LSM literature, and with teachings that are brand new to them. I've heard it said on a number of occasions that the goal of the LC campus work is to get students, bring them into the church life and then send them to the training. What if new members were told of their predetermined path at the onset? How many would run away? Of course that doesn't happen, because they are gradually warmed up to the group, so it doesn't trigger the reaction that it really should.
