I couldn't get past the condition, so-called, to see that God loves these people. It took me years to humble myself and realize that my doctrines didn't make me, or anyone, more special in God's eyes. Can you get through 3 LC meetings without someone bringing up the poor condition of fallen Christianity? I doubt it.
I had a different experience. It was more like a breath of fresh air. No more paranoia if I had a different perspective than the pastor. Imagine that, a churchlife where it's okay to disagree. No more peer pressure driving the churchlife. No means no.
I would also ask Aron, in the local church can one get through three meetings without someone putting down non-LC churches?
In my past visits to local churches, can't even get through one meeting without someone using prophesying time to put down non-LC churches.
