Default Re: true companionship/love outside the local church

That is a teaching that uses the Bible to create a cult. Let's face the truth here : the local church, tho full of precious brothers and sisters, is a cult.

And I think the main purpose of LCD is to free those precious brothers ans sister from that cult.

Default Re: True Companionship/Love outside the Local Church

I had true friendship and companionship in the LC and I have true friendship and companionship outside the LC.

I think the big difference though is outside the LC people don't pretend that we get along and love one another when really we are just tolerating one another for the sake of 'oneness'.

Yes, in my work place sometimes I have to tolerate some of my colleagues, but I never pretend I love them or that my actions are out of love for them.

Whilst the people I chose to interact with outside work are people who genuinely care.
