I remember sitting in a meeting, a brother stands up to share and then he pulls out a flyer he received in the mail from a community church in the area inviting people to an event they were hosting. He then went on to criticize them and spoke about how in the LC there aren't any 'gimmicks'. The whole time I was thinking to myself if people in the LC need to criticize other groups in order to paint a picture of the LC being something superior, then that's really sad.

If the LC could just take a step back and look at its own condition, they might see what's really going on.

Have you seen the movie "The Village?" It was well done with notable actors. It kind of resembles the mindset of LC'ers -- they alone are holy and preserved, and everything outside is terrible and evil. Yet it's all a fantasy, but you would never know unless you ventured out.
