Why do you think I'm on these forums? I'm still trying to figure out why I allowed myself to be deceived.

Well you are perchance touching down on the reason I allowed myself to be deceived.
I was young when coming into the LC. Sure I had Bible lessons growing up in Southern Baptist church, and I had read the Bible a few times.
But I had never heard the Bible expounded like Lee. And as far as "a strong relationship with the Lord?" Well I didn't have that. In fact, it looked like the leaders in the LC had it (like Ron Kangas - the poser), and I was working on it, and hoping to have it. Those two things left me open to being deceived.
Why do you think they go after the young college students? They're easy to deceive.

Exactly Untohim. Thanks for helping me to understand why I was so easily deceived.
