LC Gibberish

[Freedom]

I think that much of the purpose behind the LC lingo it that it's a convenient tactic that is intended to purposely confuse people. What better way for Lee to insulate his position than by developing a talk that only he himself could come up with. Some of this nonsense is downright stupid and illogical, and there is no way decipher it besides calling it what it really is. Since LCers can't call BS, they simply arrive at the premature conclusion that they themselves are the problem that they are limited in what they understand. Thus ensures that the authority structure maintains intact.

On the other hand, a lot of the lingo does have subtle implications. Just consider normal things found in the Bible like the temple, the altar, the golden lampstand. Everyone knows what these are, but what does the LC do? They predicate everything with phrases like "the intrinsic significance". What they're really saying is that everything they attach these labels to has some kind of esoteric meaning that only they see. This is why I find this kind of talk to be disconcerting. It's subtle, it's elusive, and if you try to address it, they play word games with you. Christians should be on the lookout for people using peculiar language and terminology. It almost certainly indicates that there's something else going on.

The LC's turgid slogans were bombast designed to create a wow factor. They worked... 40 years ago. The sizzle is long off the steak, however. Yet they continue. They can't do anything different because that's the way Lee did it, and Lee can't be wrong or improved upon. So order up more white banners and red nouns and verbs, and lots of red adverbs and adjectives. Heap those up. Maybe more will help. Repeat because we know nothing else, to the point of being pathetic.

Freedom, it is confusing. It purposely traps people in their mind trying to comprehend what exactly is the message we're reading? It's a vehicle for those who do comprehend to boast about the knowledge they glean from the ministry and how non-LSM Christianity has nothing to offer.
