Observations

Hi all,

I've just been considering my experience with those group and some of the stuff they mention about the Bible & the Christian life are great but I couldn't help feeling there's an oddness amongst many LCers. From their behaviours, way of speaking and clothing (there's more but those are the more obvious ones for me). Also like people said, I definitely noticed the Stepford wives look where their faces seem washed out and lifeless.

Like what do these people actually do in their day to day lives? It just seems to be a lot of "shepherding" and when they do all gather it seems kind of tense, like I never really know what the agenda is. I feel like a lot of them don't really talk normally and brush off a lot of personal questions but they always seem to try and get to know you in an uncomfortable way. I remember one time I brought a KJV bible and one person was staring uncomfortably at me reading from it and when I asked why they were looking at me like that they basically said "Oh, I just wanted to see what version of your Bible is like". Another time, we were asked to pray in groups and all of them would look at me intently at how I prayed. The conversations seem to not get anywhere, it's always stuff like "Are you a student? What college are you from? How were you gained? Did you join our bible study? etc.."like they don't really have anything else to say and when I ask stuff about them they just brush it off and give some very shallow answer.

I'm getting really unsettled in group but their also so nice. Does anyone else have a similar experience?
