I have found it beneficial to discuss all these double standards. It seems that many of what were believed to be positive attributes of the LC are rooted in double standards, or even worse, straw man fallacies that they have constructed.
One of the double standard examples that I gave early on is how LCers claim to not pay a pastor or staff, and they will even attack other Christian groups who do so (I have witnessed this kind of talk). So how do their full-timer "staff" get some kind of exemption from this? The problem is, they're so immersed in their criticism of others that they fail to see that they are no different. That's not to say that some of the criticism they direct towards others is valid in the first place. But it's liberating when you finally come to realize that so much of what seems "special" about the LC really isn't.

I've only visited the one in Anaheim. Nothing but LSM books when I went there.
