Yet, all that you say about this forum may be accurate but that does not mean it has not fallen into group think. Consider this... you are newer here than most,,, but the vast majority of the discussions by former members is mostly reinforcing the same beliefs stated over and over for a decade or more ....

I agree with this as well. The irony is that many of those posts are condemning the group think they saw in the LRC. The vast majority of the meetings were reenforcing the "belief" that WL's ministry was the ministry of the Age. Now I saw that in Houston over a 3 year time span. I can not speak to every locality over the last 50 years.

Boy you can say that again. That was definitely my experience in the LRC.

True, true. I saw numerous saints excommunicated and attacked being seen as perceived threats.
