I was duped because I thought the intense spiritual experiences I had in the LC supported their claims of being "God's best," and that you "could not leave the church."

I've since learned when you get very committed Christians together all seeking the Lord you will have similar experiences in meetings and fellowship.

Most churches these days have all levels of commitment, so the experience of a Sunday morning service might not be as overflowing as you might like.

But if you go to a retreat or similar event, where everyone there is much more committed, you will begin to see the same kind of overflow we had in the LC.

It's simply a matter of the Lord responding to the intensity of the "two or three gathered in his name." It had nothing to do with being "God's unique move."

I'm sure many LCers like the environment that expects a high level of commitment. It does have its upside and advantages. But it doesn't make you "God's best."
