I try to do my best to keep my points clean, honest, and factual, but I do admit to a sarcastic tone at times to succinctly convey my views. Sorry if that lacks grace. We're doing our best to provide a service to current and former members of the LC's who have been hurt.
I have been guilty with the LC people on Facebook, especially young people, who can't see how deceived, they are, and how they could be irritating with their responses. I admit I don't know everything. I was acting like a cage-stage Calvinist. But then I remember how patient God has been with me. I have to speak the truth in love (Eph. 4:14,15). That is the antidote for false doctrines and other deception, NOT my quarrelsome or impatient attitude for the sake of truth, NOR my argumentative, mouthy know-it-alls. After all, it is God who will grant repentance through patient teaching and gentle correction. (2 Tim. 2:24-26). God be merciful to me!
