But it doesn't work.
It is backwards logic.

And this is why they have to hide in their fortress and throw bombs over the wall. Because they would lose the argument if they actually honestly engaged the public arena. Can you imagine Jesus doing things the way they do? I can't.
Today I thought of the way Lee would treat people in his trainings. He would get someone up in front of everybody to "prove a point." He would ask them a question and if they didn't answer in the way he liked he would be dismissive of them. He eventually would turn his back on them if he didn't get what he wanted.
This is the way the LCM acts. They declare what they think is true, if you don't get it they repeat themselves, if you don't get that they send the message that you aren't worth the trouble and are foolish for not listening. The whole idea is not to enlighten, but to play on your insecurities, to make you feel like you are on the outside looking in. But never do they honestly and opening address questions about what they expect everyone to believe. They just turn and walk away and hope you feel bad about it.
That's what they do here, too, eventually. Rather than admit they need to rethink some things, they just disappear.
But as far as I'm concerned, if you are going to go around claiming to be the "unique move of God," just darn sure better be prepared to do better than that.
