16. Fellowship- How much is fellowship used to dictate the lives of LC members. Do they mandate everyone enter "fellowship" when ever making any life distinction that alters from the LC whatsoever? I have seen alot of recent post and it just seems to me, fellowship is a tool to control, and contain the lives of the LC. Why is it mandatory, for full grown adults to be dictated in their lives when it comes to basic freedoms? Can you just brush off "fElLoWsHiP" and mind your business when it comes to basic life decisions and be forced to base your life decisions on a bunch of idiots or manipulative men who could care less on the value and happiness of your life? I mean these recent posts on this forum just like they want you to be a slave. Is the idea of fellowship just an LC version of the Russian KGB (lol)? They interrogate you in a nice manner and force you to comply and prevent you from pursuing interests and freedoms that can cause just the slightest deviation from LC practices/life. Did this idea of "fElLoWsHiP" also come from "eMpErOr" lee?

I'm sure there are some cases elders/ responsible ones that just want good care for the people they have fellowship with. But from all these post it seems they just want to make sure you are kept in the assembly line of the "eMpErOR lee" factory.
