What a Lack of Increase Really Means for the LC

[Freedom]

Just as another example, with the recent pandemic, basically all churches have had to start live-streaming their services so that anyone can watch regardless of location (and I think a lot of them had already been doing that previously). But by contrast, I've seen LC members talking on FB about having meetings on zoom. Everything is password protected (invite only). Anyone who isn't already affiliated with the LC wouldn't even have the ability to know about or participate in their meetings.

It's actually a bit striking to think about that. Of course, the LC has never really been the type of place where there are a lot of visitors at random, but more and more, it seems that the environment has become such that they don't want that at all. They don't want anything to be introduced into the environment that would throw off their formula.
