Most LC members I know are completely ignorant to how exclusive they actually are. They might think that they are inclusive and "open to everyone", however, their actions speak to the opposite. It's a sad state to be in. If they were open to critical feedback, maybe there would be the opportunity for change.

All exclusives begin with a return back to the scriptures, which becomes a source of blessing. Then the lust for power takes over which begins their demise. All of these strange ordinances are simply vehicles to control their people.
