One of the worst effects of the LSM thought-suppression programme was to convince us to stop seeking. Like someone stuck in an abusive relationship, we were convinced "there's nothing out there for me", so we put up with continued abusive behaviour, convinced it was our only option. Even though we knew Big Brother was lying, we kept on keepin' on, convinced there was nothing else for us. Keep your head down and your mouth shut. Don't have an opinion. Just smile and say 'amen' to whatever non-biblical nonsense came out.
It's not true. There's a larger Christian conversation happening out there, and it's important that each one of us finds our place in it. God wants to use every "part" to make the "whole". Don't be ashamed of your portion. Mistakes and all, let 'er rip - that's what Peter did. And he didn't lord it over anyone else(1 Peter 5:3; cf Matt 20:25); therefore why shouldn't we all be encouraged to break our chains, and function? Don't let Big Brother keep you down!
