The LC version of shepherding is like trying to catch water with a colander.
Just recite something LSM published and call on the Lord three times. That's the LC version of shepherding. Anything that requires praying and is outside the scope of LSM's latest and greatest, it's considered a waste of time. I'll admit it wasn't always that way, but that's what it has become.
For example in a home meeting if a brother has issues getting employed, or a sister has marriage issues, that's going off topic for the home meeting. The home meeting's brand of shepherding is we sing a few songs, we pray read a few verses, and we take turns reading the current HWFMR. Now that is their concept of shepherding.
Now, I've always had a problem with the nature of quarantines. Do you think the brothers and sisters want to go there?
