It turned me off. And then eventually I thought the local church would be something serious, true, and real. Fooled again.

Didn’t we all expect the LC to be the cat’s pajamas? When I 1st came, the 25˘ messages were just starting to be sold. Local meetings were by local brothers own words and included some of WLs material. Pretty soon all the content seemed to be WL, as the elders bought into the system. Well, we all know the same story, the LSM business train took off and you either got on board or were left behind.
I wonder what will happen as the Lee family and the business runners of LSM all “move on” to the big LC in the sky. History seems to be that movement type religious businesses falter after the generational change. The ones that survive get very doctrinal.The RC developed a hierarchical system where moving up the ladder required strict conformity to the system.
