I propose an unofficial moratorium on telling others who may not see things exactly the same to sit down and shut up.

Thank You Hope..for your very well spelled out thoughts. I think this is part of the reason I was interested in seeing the time frames of the posters and lurkers in the LSM/LC.
We all experienced some sort of information control.. Furthermore..most of us here lived in different cities, under different elders with Lee as the pope. The messages came from
him and distributed to the global parishes.
Our individual experiences varie greatly. My time there was not that BAD..and yet, I had to flee when I did. I left way before the LC became the LSM and long, long before the 'new way'..before the 80's turmoil, before Lee's passing, before the Blendeds..and yet so much of what people went through, I understand completely.
We have a Great and AWESOME GOD...who will never forsake us or leave us and whose Love will continue to pull us to Himself..and to draw us together in Christ Jesus.
