As such, it's worth discussing this group in it's larger context, that of religious, self-appointed "deputy Gods" manipulating gullible and ignorant people for their own personal gain. One can learn a lot - the LC isn't the only unbalanced Christian group out there.

So let's share what we learned. I learned a lot and I am thankful for it and I feel I have matured as a Christian as a result. I would say what I wrote on James is a comprehensive discussion on what I learned, how I was helped and how I matured as a result.
