1. What do you most regret about your time in the "Lord's Recovery" group?
|
That I 'chose' the church over Christ and chose the church over taking care of my parents when they were ill and needed me most. I don't blame the church though. I was an immature young Christian. Sure I was under the LC bondage but I was also a young believer. My parents are with the Lord as is my brother. Praise HIM.

2. What real gains in your life did you experience during your time in the "Lord's Recovery"?
|
Speaking the Word into me. In turn the Holy Spirit reveals to me His Word. It was there I learned I had a spirit and that I connected with God through my spirit..not my intellect or emotions. However I had very little understanding and experience in walking in the spirit. Especially when Lee controlling our spirits through his 'life' studies, trainings, etc.. !

3. How have you / are you leveraging your regrets about your time in the "Lord's Recovery" so that these experiences can be gain to you now?
|
My experiences were not as bad as many if not most people's here. I was in the LC a very short time compared to most: 4 yrs about (1975-1979) but it has had a lifetime lasting effect. Why would I even be on this forum if my LC experience did not have a profound effect on me?

4. Forgiveness - have you reached out in person to ask forgiveness of those you may have injured during your time in the "Lord's Recovery" (family, etc)? How have you dealt with your relationships with people who shepherded you, particularly with what you feel now was poor counsel, in the "Lord's Recovery"?
|
It's N/A to me. However, I have had my share of deep repentance on personal matters.

5. Do you think there was anything in the doctrine or practice that particularly attracted you to the "Lord's Recovery" or do you think you could have been similarly attracted to any high-demand Christian group?
|
My experience over all was a positive one. There were lots of people in my age range who were on fire for the Lord and cared for each other. We were not perfect but we were a good bunch over all.

Being open to other Christians experiences and 'views'. The internet has given me access to some great and powerful teachings. Amazing GRACE.
