Sheep stealing
Unforunately, some Christians outside the LC I know refer to the LC as sheep-stealers. I have to agree. When I was in the LC I remember by a ratio of at least 2 to 1, invading other churches to show them the "New and Living Way" vs. preaching the gospel to unbelievers! I think this came out of the LC culture of being better than Christianity. It happened when I was in Philadelphia. We were invited to a church midstate, and we packed up a school bus, went there and showed them how to be Christians. Then in college in NYC, the students in the LC took over my campus Christian fellowship for a day, and steamrollered everyone. That was one of the starting stepping stones to my leaving the LC. Any other experiences from anyone?
