But my brain, after leaving, was all akimbo. What was my standing with God's Eternal Purpose? Was I out?
It was very confusing. I couldn't hang onto it all, and not be in it. I couldn't be in it, so I had to let go of it all. I had to let go of it all, for the sake of my sanity, to find some cognitive harmony, balance, and peace, faced with living outside of the local church, and living back into the world.
Others I know closely, that have left, had to take similar actions, of letting go of all of the local church mindset/imprints.
But maybe not everyone needs to go thru the same exit strategy we've gone thru.
Still, from what I've seen, those that exit the LC, and still hang onto to the LC paradigm, have the hardest time. Cuz they constantly carry an overload of cognitive dissonance ... enough to break the brain ... burn the brain wires ... and blow a fifty amp fuse.
