Maybe you haven't noticed, but this "Evangelical" person has posted over 20 times, and has sought to interact with other members in a rather comprehensive way. It's not like he/she was just a hit-n-run type poster. They are seeking significant dialog, and that is what this forum is all about.
At this point, anybody on earth can come and post under this name "Evangelical". Out of respect for our forum members, and to avoid confusion, I have always required membership for anyone who wants to enter into our discussions in any significant manner.
As always, I am open from input from all the forum members.

Thank you, UntoHim. Many/most current members of the LC are in a completely different demographic from most of the people here (spiritually, culturally, ethnically, socioeconomically, geographically, etc., etc). I say this as a fairly recent leaver; I believe there is quite a big disconnect. I know that many in my set (2nd-generation, SoCal, Asian, FTTA, etc.) have a
lot of doubts and questions about the LC. However--they would also be deeply suspicious of someone like you and of the organization of this board, even if they would allow themselves to lurk here. I feel the reason this board has gotten somewhat dead over the last months and years, and does not attract more participation from current members (and others), is that more effort is not given to make this a "safe space" for them.
Just my thoughts offered for consideration.
