The play's author indicates he's not sure about his faith given the fact that the LC poisoned the well (my words not his) regarding other Christian groups. To me this is another example of LSM sacrificing the little ones to preserve a religious system. Matthew 18:6

New International Version
"If anyone causes one of these little ones--those who believe in me--to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.



1 Corinthians 8:12
When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
I can relate to what the play's author is saying in regard to individuality for those raised in the local churches. When you're a younger brother or sister, those older than you all always right even when they are wrong. You feel your dreams, aspiration, etc are invalid in the mind of the church leadership. If it is compatible with the churchlife, it can be acceptable.
