Post-Recovery: A Testimony

What I do hope to do is to engage in a dispassionate and scholarly review of Leeism. It is hard to suppress deep-seated misgivings so I've not participated in this forum for 9 years. But now that I've resettled in my new congregation and ministry, I want to see if I'm able to lay the ghost to rest and help others do so.

Thanks brother for opening up. So you came by deep-seated misgivings at a young age? I'm assuming those were misgivings with Lee & the local church. I do think the local church has a way of becoming deep-seated.

That's what we're all about here on LCD; deep-seated misgivings. And we're happy to have you join us.

As to expecting dispassionate scholarly reviews, good luck with that. I can't speak for everyone but we're hardly scholarly or dispassionate.

We're just a motley crew of ex-LCers.

Personally, I snuggle up to scholarly but not so much to dispassionate ... I look forward to being on this ride with you ... and for your sake will try to stifle my passions ... if I can.
