One such harmful practice is the corporate practice of "Pray-Reading". The corporate pray-reading that is generally practiced in the Local Church is not scriptural. Maybe there is some profit in practicing such a thing in one's own personal/devotional time, but in my experience and observation over 40+ years, the pray-reading that takes place in corporate meetings is not helpful at all for young Christians and new believers.

To clarify, I said "some dear ones on here . . . [had] horrendous individual experiences in the LC." People on this forum range the full spectrum from almost complete negative to almost completely positive.

And the corporate practice of pray-reading may be what many think of, which I agree is highly questionable as to the profit of such a rote practice, at least the way I remember it being done.
