[Sons to Glory!]

A good observation and well put I think. The LC experiences of those on this forum cover the full spectrum from terrible experiences and therefore all things LC/WL/WN are bad (or the worst); to those whose had many good experiences along with some not so good experiences, and then were lead to leave the LC. There have also been on here, from time to time, a few strong supporters of the LC and who were active in that group. But those folks are generally few . . . their time posting on here continues for a time and then they usually disappear.

I fall into the camp of those who know for certain that the Lord led them to the LC and count gaining many good things from Him there. I praise the Lord for that experience! But I also praise the Lord that He lead me out of the LC a couple decades later. When He led me to where I've been these past 22 years, I saw that there were indeed many fresh riches of Christ in places other than the LC. It was then that He began to show me how much His love for us is the foundation of everything He does. This understanding of His love as His primary motivator is what began to open up scriptures to me like never before. (In the LC we learned about God's eternal purpose, but not so much about how primary His love for us is!)

Regrettably, this forum can be a little like the political situation in this country, that is, greatly polarized with each side often talking past the other . . .
