I agree on the trolling, (I'm definitely not in the LC anymore and DON'T agree with most of the teachings/practices) but, my family is in and I just want to point out- none of my family or friends still in the LC would say some of the things said to me and others by (for lack of a better word) "trolls" on here trying to defend the Lord's Recovery. It's kind of surprising actually to see their hypocrisy being in such a spiritually elite group as the Lord's Recovery! (sorry for the sarcasm!)

Perhaps this forum just appeals to an argumentative person that wants to "defend" the group. But, it's not fair to generalize and say that they "represent" the LC. Their attitudes towards other Christians are new to me! I've just been met with kind dismissals and invisible walls put up between myself and members in the LC. It's obvious that my family/friends are defensive when I've talked to them about it and I've learned that's part of the "phenomenon" of the cult mentality. I've been on their side too, so I feel a little grace towards the situation. Even if they can't see it for what it is right now, at least they're still kind and respectful (most of them) just as I've tried to be towards them. My problem is the system, not the members! I have nothing but love for anyone else but it's obvious some ppl of this forum just want to cause chaos- perhaps in their minds, "in the name of the Lord?" Ha! Whatever their justification and motive, the "trolls" aren't a representation of MOST members in the LC's, in my experience!
