I'm here thinking about how far we should go without hijacking Kumbaya's thread, so I looked at her 1st two posts -- LSM selling books and LSM dominating everything -- and determined we are right on topic. So many recent posts on this forum are about LC oppression and bandage, whether it be what books can be read or who to marry and spend your life with.

The "good news" gospel of Jesus Christ is all about liberty, setting the prisoners free. We could summarize the chief complaint about the recovery is stealing that liberty and returning us to bondage. As a young person back in the 70's, I was captivated by the liberty and joy of the Spirit. In Christ I had a liberty never before even thought of. How things have changed!

Paul rebuked Peter in Antipas (Gal 2.11) for returning to bondage. He concluded his rebuke saying, "For if I rebuild what I tore down, I make myself a transgressor." (2.18) Isn't this exactly what those in Anaheim have done? They rebuilt what they once tore down, and now we are here exposing their transgressions.
