It is my observation that in such a state, it is difficult if not impossible to think for yourself..... and that is why the forum has become a continuous cycle of reruns like having a broadcast service that only plays reruns of the Brady Bunch. You can predict the response to any situation because you've watched the episode many times. There is no freedom or critical thinking in such a state. Even the response to this post is predictable, just watch and see.
Something Max's daughter said in another post awhile back struck me along this same train of thought..... she stated that Max himself was surprised that people were still talking about and reliving the events surrounding him and that he had moved on. It is not a healthy condition to be stuck in the past and there is no freedom or freedom of thought in it.

I get what you are saying, but no need to get snarky about it. I too have seen the continuous cycling, that looks like reruns.
I've noticed the cycle when new ones come on the forum, and they are going thru similar cycles as others that have left the LC have gone thru, only just beginning.
Brother Drake, as long as people keep leaving the LC, that cycle will keep happening. Cuz people will keep leaving. And they are helped by repeating it out here.
People that leave aren't stuck. I've seen lots leave, and they go thru changes, and move on. Some don't want to talk about it. Like my friend that came in with me, and became an elder. He's moved on. He's now an American Indian shaman. And he don't look back. He's moved on.
Some do get stuck, and it's sad. I've known those that couldn't handle the resulting inner conflicts, that turn to alcohol to deal with it, and become alcoholics. That one breaks my heart. I spent decades trying to help a brother, having that problem. His wife has moved on, and she too don't like to talk about it. It screwed up their daughter.
True, I'm on the board, and I surely look stuck. My rerun is always : The local church is a cult. In fact, you can easily predict what I'm going to say ... today, tomorrow, next week, next year, next decade.
And I know it's annoying. But somebody has got to warn others. People that are in cults can't see they are in a cult. There's got to be a way to open their eyes. Maybe not, but we can't stop trying. There's precious people in there, and precious ones that might get caught up in it.
Please don't hold it against us. We're just caring, while trying to get thru it too, helping each other, and hopefully others ... that seem to be helped by this forum.
But thanks for pointing out our repetition. That just means more people have left, and are repeating what we went thru.
So gird up your lions brother, it ain't gonna stop.
Thanks for letting me interlope. You're a peach.
