To the extent that there are things to discover and discuss, it is time to be specific rather than general. It is time to put away the broad brush and focus.

The strong, verbose response to my quoting of scripture and attempt at followup on postings from this otherwise forgotten thread speaks volumes regarding the spiritual battle going on regarding this thread. Think about it. This thread containing actual testimonies from second-generation LC members leads to such a defensive response from a "former elder" that it causes strong condemnation by those apparently still strongly influenced by him. None of these testimonies insisted that there was a "uniform pattern of wanton misconduct that can be laid at the feet of every LC and every LC leader in any way." These testimonies were, indeed, very focused on each individual's experience. The defensive response was to accuse such testimonies of "painting with a broad brush."
