Hi unregistered,
You're probably here because you, like all of us at some point, had some internal questions about the Lord's Recovery. To be frank the level of double-speak, unspoken rules, and pervasive attitude of spiritual oppression in the LR is way more than anyone on this forum can combat or argue you out of. I definitely can't. There are a lot of caring people in the LR but I think only the Holy Spirit can set you free.
So, my suggestion is, if you have reasonable doubts - which judging by your presence here, you must - just pray to the Lord and ask Him to show you the truth about the Lord's Recovery. If the LR system/dogma is correct and that is really the only "recovered" church then the Holy Spirit will surely not guide you incorrectly, and if it's not, the Holy Spirit will surely not guide you incorrectly. Just be honest and genuine in front of God and He will do the rest.
By the way, here's a funny note. Some time after leaving the Lord's Recovery I learned that Seventh Day Adventists believe that keeping the Sabbath is the true mark of the Lord's "recovered church", and that keeping the Sabbath/not keeping the Sabbath will be the test to all Christians at the time of the Lord's second coming. And yes, they do call themselves the only true "recovered church".
Sound familiar? I do think they actually have better ground for that than the Lord's Recovery, though; keeping the Sabbath day IS actually one of the Ten Commandments. Even though Paul clearly stated through the Holy Spirit that it is no longer an outward commandment in the New Testament covenant (Colossians 2:16), at least it IS a commandment. But there's not a single command in the New Testament or the Torah that we need to be called "the church in <city>" to be the true church.
