Sect is a better word than LSM/LC cult because the gospel is /was preached, and the power of the Blood of Jesus taught. Furthermore, when I got saved through the preaching of the Word of God by the LC saints in 1975, I was delivered from my sins...except one which came much, much later. But alas! The Lord Jesus and His Blood delivered me once I totally surrendered my sin to Him.
I also did door knocking with the saints on Thursday evenings, inviting people to the 'gospel love feasts' we held on Saturday evenings which I loved btw. I don't know that our door knocking was successful in bringing people in but it was a good experience for me.
One thing I learned from the gospel feasts in retrospect is that Jesus did not use the same formula in reaching people. To the woman of the well, He spoke to her very differently from the way He reached Nicodemus and still different from the way He reached the sick and so many other people.
That was 1975.
As for the crazy WMSCOG,
silly man! They exchanged notes should have been the comment instead of 'hooked up''.
I passed by their building this past Saturday on my way to Walmart..and I happened to notice a lot of people going into the 'church' building. The women were all dressed in dresses or skirts/blouses and if I am not mistaken, it was mostly black and white clothing.
The men were neatly dressed in suits. And there was NO SIGN of the name of their congregation.
The woman I spoke with also asked for my phone #. I reluctantly gave it to her. But
had she called me, I would have blasted her for lying to me of their 'no name church'...non denominational church and everything else about it! They have not called and probably will not. I don't know about you Bradley but I did tell them I was saved and was saved by the Blood of Jesus. The woman babbled a lot and did not make sense. She told me a lot of this 'god the mother' stuff and the second coming of Christ..but twisted the scriptures like you would not believe! "We" had a lengthy conversation... but really she controlled it. When I spoke, I asked her several times if she was saved, she said 'yes' then continued babbling away not making any sense.
It was obvious she was using a memorized brainwashed script.
Keep seeking the Lord Jesus and His Spirit for Guidance, Counsel and to continue to lead you in the path of Righteousness until we arrive. May He surround you with blessed and healthy fellowship and shower you with His Love granting you Wisdom, Revelation, Insight filling you with His Inner Joy and His inner peace. Not only to you, but to all the saints in Christ Jesus.

As for the crazy WMSCOG,
Yep, same here, part of their routine to establish trust. I still don't know for absolute sure if the girls who knocked on my door were from the WMSCOG but I'm about 90% sure. They have my number, so I'll have to find out when they ring. I've never had girls so happy to receive my number before lol, one of them squealed with joy, like she had been rudely rejected all day and finally got a lead hahaha. If only other girls would be that happy when I gave them my number...
You mean they kissed? Hooking up is such an ambiguous term that could mean anything. I always thought it meant sex but apparently only sometimes.
