I don't think anyone besides those who have left have ever taken the opportunity to see if WL's characterization of Christians was correct or not.
The LC claims to have "functioning" members, because everyone does this thing that they call "prophesying" (which has nothing to do with real Biblical prophesying, since members merely parrot WL). I think in most churches outside the LC, members have the opportunity to participate in a variety of ways, and speaking is left to those who have the true gift to do so. In the LC, the function of "prophesying" is imposed upon all members. All members are assigned the same function. There is no opportunity for each members gift to be realized.

Yes, WL did create a straw man, but I think he knew there was life and reality elsewhere, it's just that he could not figure how to make money on it. Recovery saints that are born into or saved into the recovery are subject to strong satanic delusion in believing all outside of the recovery is dead. I spent a long time in Christianity before coming into and leaving the recovery and knew there was life and reality outside of the recovery. I understand why when recovery-saved saints leave the recovery they believe there is nowhere else to go. This is a satanic lie and those who teach that sanctification can only be found in the LSM LC are oracles of satan, in my opinion.
