Default Re: Why don't Local Church Members Post Here?

Firstly, thank you so much for coming to our forum and registering. Please forgive me for not welcoming you sooner.

Your critique of our little forum is legitimate and certainly understandable. Conversely, I hope and trust that God would show you that many of the testimonies and critiquing by the former Local Church members here are also legitimate and worthy of your thoughtful consideration.

So it would seem to be a hostile environment for those that are still enjoying their time in the LC or do not have anything personally against the LC.
Again, a legitimate and understandable concern for someone in your position. Yet I must tell you that it would probably seem a lot less of a hostile environment for current members if they would come and take advantage of the opportunity for open discussion that this venue provides. And I probably don't have to remind you that no such opportunity or venue is provided by the powers that be there in Anaheim.

I would like to ask, if someone shared a post about a positive experience or testimony concerning the LC, how many members here would be offended, hold with contempt, or assume that it was fabricated/fake. Or be very suspicious.
Again, this is an open forum. So long as the rules of the forum are followed, positive testimonies are welcomed! What I can't guarantee you is that some of the former LC members here won't be critiquing, and maybe even give a little push back. Being a longtime former LC member, I do appreciate and understand that it can be very disconcerting and uncomfortable when one's testimony is not welcomed with a round of hearty "AMEN"s. And so long as this is understood then all will be well with all concerned.
