I DO have a few key things I object too regarding the LC/LSM movement - if anyone wants to know what they are, I will list them again.
However, most people on here tend to slant in the "anti-all-things-LC" direction. Therefore I often feel inclined to bring up some point that perhaps (hopefully, kinda, sorta) balances the conversation. Admittedly, this means I get a lot of pies thrown my way (how many of them actually hit, is up to y-all to decide).

I have been taking shots from both sides since I left the LC. It has only served to help me search the scriptures and know whom I believe.
For me this is the healthiest place to be. During any debate or protest, joining the mob on either side might appear safer in the short term, but too many compromises are demanded in order to accommodate their positions. I would rather sacrifice a little safety for principle. Don't be a man-pleaser, but a God-pleaser. Paul told Timothy to "rightly divide" the truth, and elsewhere to purge out the old leaven.
I am constantly warned of this when I consider all those who have discarded their faith and love towards God when they left the recovery.
