Combating LC Arguments

[ToGodAlone]

Long time no talk brothers and sisters

I apologize if it seems like all the topics I talk about are about "converting" LC members, but honestly, that's what's been pulling my heartstrings for awhile now so bear with me.

As you may be aware of, if and when you discuss other churches with current local church members, you'll probably run into many an argument advocating the Recovery over everyone else. Now, this probably comes in all kinds of flavors, but one that I have encountered the most personally is that the local church has more "life" than other churches. Now I'm not exactly sure what is meant by "life" here. I'm guessing that it refers to the sort of "family" that one gets ushered into upon joining any local church.

Now, we all know that there is no more "life" in the local church than there is anywhere else, unless life refers to pray reading, many shouts of "O Lord Jesus!", and extensive use of the the words "saint(s)", "meeting", and "economy". The only question is, how do we prove this to one who has never experienced anything outside of a local church meeting? Of course, it stands to reason that saying that they haven't actually experienced anything else and thus can't pass judgement on this kind of thing accurately would put this to rest, but remember, this is a lifetime of "indoctrination" we're dealing with here. But I'm sure I don't need to tell you that.

There are many other arguments besides this one obviously, so I open the question to you all, how do we address these arguments when they are presented to us?
