But, yes, this forum is a quintessential example of group think and the behaviors that issue from it. That is why asking for validation of your beliefs from others who hold the same beliefs is meaningless. Luminosity fell into the same error. It’s like CNN asking MSNBC if they agree with them..... of course they do but that does not validate the CNN point of view. I think the spirit of the age we see playing out on the national stage is also affecting social media, even Christian forums like this one.

I just don't agree, Drake. This forum is people who come together and speak honestly about what they have seen, experienced, and been taught by Lees' ministry, right or wrong. Honest discussion. I say, genuine christian fellowship happens here. It is in stark contrast to the culture of silence persisting in and pertaining to every aspect of 'fellowship' in the LC. I am sure that chasm between the truth and hiding the truth might make you uncomfortable....but your unease with such open communication does not invalidate it. 'Asking for validation of your beliefs from others who hold the same beliefs' is such a silly accusation of those here. You forget, most of us coming out of the LC are true believers. We face a whole world of naysayers each and every day.....ones who mock and belittle christians for their faith in Jesus. You think we need others to believe what we believe? That is so far from reality.....
