Maybe it is just that from my perspective, whatever positive you might find in the word "dispensing," it has been buried in something entirely different by Lee's theology and is therefore what is heard when you use the word.

I agree. The Lee version of the Trinity depersonalizes God himself and relationships in general. Ironically, an "impersonal relationship" is actually an oxymoron. If God is interested in anything he is interested in being intimate with us. How could he be interested in such a thing if it did not exist within him from the beginning? The reality of the Trinity confirms that it did.
All the LCM sees about the Trinity is it is some sort of cascading aquaduct to pour liquid God stuff into us. Not very personal. So I do not think it is any coincidence that the LCM discouraged personal relationships between people. Their God model is one of a God who is impersonal even within Himself.
Now I know those in the LCM may experience a sweet relationship with God. I'm just saying their Trinity model works against that some. It misses the deep interpersonal aspect of God which the Trinity implies.
