Trapped, let me confirm the approach by OBW and Nell.

The LSM way produces paralysis by analysis. Because they are trained and indoctrinated not to make "independent" decisions, they end up making no decisions on their own. Then, a horrible side-effect occurs, which is the presumption that the Lord speaks thru the other members of the body. While not wrong, one then believes that being told what to do is safer and more spiritual than living one's own life.

Case in point was that LC brother who could not bring himself to help his sick wife do the dishes because he didn't want to do anything out of his "natural man."
