Healthy environment? Almost makes me laugh.
I remember eating well in the LC. And I had no problem keeping hydrated. That level of health didn't seem to be a problem.
And during my early days, during my blind love days, my mind was at ease and my nervous system was peaceful and copacetic.
But as time went on, and I discovered some major hypocrisies out of Lee, discordance began to set in. And the more disharmony the more work it became to live the local church life.
And that rattled my mind and nervous system to the point it became unhealthy. I was actually going around with a constant knot in my stomach.
The breaking point for me was when Lee started making highfalutin claims about himself, like, he was the one and only apostle, oracle, and authority on the earth. By that time, because of discovering Lee's hypocrisies, I didn't have the trust required to believe such highfalutin claims.
But I have to say, the time during and after leaving the LC was very hard and nerve racking. I felt I was leaving what had become a unhealthy environment for an even more unhealthy situation.
But that only lasted a few years. Then I went on to find lots more unhealthy things and situations.
But I've always been happy that I left the local church. I've said it more than once, and to different ears, at different times, that, no matter how bad life can get it could always be worse: I could still be in the local church.
