Welcome to this forum. I also grew up in the LC, and as far back as I can remember, I was aware that there were people out there who held "negative" views of the LC. I never gave that much thought until my own experiences in the LC seemed to contradict what I perceived the LC to be.

When I got to the point where I started searching for answers related to concerns I had regarding the LC, I started reading things like some of the writings on this forum, and then I began to realize that not everything is as it seems, and it did make me a little uncomfortable at first. That doesn't mean everyone will come to the same conclusions, but I think the important thing to note is that many ex-LC members have arrived at the same type of conclusions.
