Also, what do you mean IF that were true?
If it were true that we are not allowed to read anything about the LSM online, then how could we be on this forum.

So you are telling me that you've never heard this before?

I was only a part of your denomination for a year and I heard it from multiple people from different localities and different states. Outside of these direct statements of being "poisoned", I heard countless other people share this same message indirectly.

The better question to ask would be how are you and Drake the only people on this forum? I could probably provide you with more stories, but I'm sure you already are well aware.

So why didn't it happen to you.

I don't understand your question. Nevertheless, I'll try to address it despite your every attempt to dodge my questions. I did not look at this forum until a month or more after I left.

Why play so coy on this subject? You honestly don't know what I'm talking about?

You said you heard it from multiple people - why didn't it happen to you.

I'm sorry but I'm still not following.

Why didn't what happen to me? Being poisoned?

If I did get poisoned (which I whole heartedly do not believe), it was after I left. Is this what you mean? Genuinely trying here

I'm still interested in hearing why you're too intimidated to name the locality. Also, can you confirm that you have also been told about being poisoned? That this is deeply imbedded into the culture of LSM? Your response seems to discredit my experiences as something out of the ordinary.

Why weren't you warned about being poisoned before coming here? You are telling me something based on second hand knowledge, something others have told you. You are not speaking from personal experience, and only relaying the experiences of others. You never experienced it yourself in the time you were in the LSM? You said it's deeply embedded in the culture, yet it never happened to you? You said "heard it from multiple people from different localities and different states". How many people? 2? 100? 1000?

Probably on your own initiative bypassing any fellowship about coming onto an internet forum. Localities I've met with there's usually some form of announcement regarding the internet and DCP.
