That situation would be even more difficult to meet anywhere else. One could grow up in the local churches, have their brother, sisters, nieces, and nephews in the nearby localities. It becomes an expectation to meet and raise one's children in the local churches. It upsets the applecart to one consider leaving and two breaking free and meet with a non-LC church. what does that do to the family/relative dynamic? One is suddenly a "rebel"?
