Yes, Nell I agree thoroughly with you. And others for posting their experiences here.

More to the point, I noticed that Americans would dump their non-LC family members, but Chinese would not. Jesus had taught to "hate your father and mother" that wouldn't go along, and "Who is my father and mother and brother and sister" (Mark 3:35; Matt 12:49,50), but to the LC Chinese (by and large) these verses didn't exist, because they couldn't exist. The guanxi wouldn't allow it.

I want to add to what aron has said about the guanxi network and WL’s nest building
for the unregenerate family members if his own family. Contrast this to the requirement the LSM puts on young people to reject their own families in order to become fully participant in the LC, if the family is not interested in joining too.
So, he was ok with promoting the most destructive and painful of experiences for a family, happy to smash and destroy other people's lives in order to build his own family on the backs of those he drew in. This just makes me angry on a deep level, in fact I struggle to find words to express my abhorrence. (I’m now angry with a dead person, does that make me the same as MC only from an opposite angle??)
This is outright evil in action. Interesting aron you say this is something ordinary Americans are more willing to do than those of the Chinese community. They just ignore those scriptures, yet it was a Chinese member that began hinting to me about separating myself from my family as ‘bad company destroys good morals’ he/she quoted that scripture, with no knowledge at all of my family.
Saul was in rebellion against the law of God when he consulted the medium regarding Samuel. The real problem was he was dependant on Samuel and not God. Seeking Samuel after he died was the indication of that. The underlying sin was that Saul was putting too much reliance on a man and not God. Keeping returning to Samuel for guidance even after his departure from this life is the very same problem with the LC. They keep seeking WL and WN. All their focus reveals this, from exclusivity on all their written words, down to MC claiming continuing validation from WL until now.
The callous disregard for ‘family’ of the menial class of the LCM, while at the same time building one’s own family empire on the back of a sacrifice they require from those joining so that they can do the opposite with their own families, regardless of their spiritual standing…..wow, that one really takes the cake. I makes me sick to think of that, that it is real, the damage done and still doing.
Philip Lee was really only doing the same as he saw his father do. Though without the status of his father he just used a different means of exploitation, one that suited him as a young man full of testosterone!!
Appalling, I know who are the real ones who need some shaming!! And they pick on someone for being nervous and messing up some words while reading out loud? What is their standard, as there’s nothing against that in the 10 commandments?! (Their theology just falls apart all over the place!) Doesn’t kindness and encouragement help those who feel nervous? Shaming someone in that situation is also evil, not surprisingly. Sickening, is what they are, truly. What do they have to say about this?
