Re: SPLIT THREAD - Control and Addiction in the Local Church
Ohio,
I don't think he was duped like we were. Or at least never at the same level. That sets him apart as never being one of those gullible and infantile people duped by the LC. As long as he can keep making it all about the sheep and not the self-proclaimed shepherd(s), then he stands out as wiser — at least in his own mind.
He's quite proud that he is an outsider with limited first-hand knowledge, but with a friend who feeds him all the stuff so he can dish it out. Since he can't really understand it from an insider's perspective he is neither LC nor ex-LC and can skewer all. It's sort of like when those Hollywood actors start providing "facts" about the environment and politics. They speak loudly and demand that we all listen and follow them. But they have no evidence that what they say has any substance.
