When I was in the LC, sisters were sent to speak to me regarding the relationship I was in before I met my now spouse, and then afterward, again, I was 'counciled' regarding my spouse. I married him anyway. I guess you can see I didn't make a very good LCer.

Right byHismercy, you make a lousy LCer. 
My conclusion to your question is this -- those in the LC system see their controlling of others as "shepherding," especially at the conclusion of the FTT.
