They can't accept that because of the view that the LC holds the ministry that will "end the age" and has "unlocked the Bible". I have personally seen church kids who were manipulated by people in the LC, such that situations came up where the parents should have stood up for their children and set their foots down. Instead, they valued a good standing in the LC, over taking care of their doing what was right for the needs of their children.

As one raised in the local churches, many of other church kids from my generation raised in the local churches, I would estimate 90%+ meet in non-LSM Christianity while younger generations still do.

Maybe it's me but I can't follow this statement. I don't even know how to ask a question about it. Confusing. Sorry. Could you clarify?

Meaning the young people I grew up with in Southern California (1980's), majority of them no longer meet in the local churches. The subsequent younger generations, I have seen more of these young ones now in their 20's and 30's still going on in the local churches.
