It's important to see that the LR looks like a, walks like a, and quacks like a cult, it is indistinguishable from a cult in practice and form, in fact, and that, most all the cults I can bring to mind are deceiving people without claiming any faith in Christ. The LC look just like the world because, like those other cults, it has nothing to do with the Spirit of the Lord.

If I had known how the LC meets and ticks boxes that your average cult does, as a young believer first coming into contact (or getting love bombed) with them, I would at the very least, have been cautious or done some research on this group. Might have avoided the deception and the damage, although who knows? Those days were pre-internet, at least for me.

~40 years ago I was told an interesting deflection to the cult accusation -- that cults have "church-like" characteristics. Hmmm . . .
