What have we learned?

I think it's a good starter for a discussion of what could be gained from our Local Church experience. I am fully aware that there are many out there that think there is nothing to be learned or gained, and maybe this thread is not for them.

Let's face it UnToHim, many that left or were pushed out of the local church felt that they gave their all to the best Christianity had to offer, and concluded that not only did the recovery let them down, but also Christianity.

My Chinese wife in the LC did this. She let go of all religion. Didn't want any part of any of it. I couldn't blame her. In my confusion back then I was drawing the same conclusion.

It made me question literally everything. And here I am today, still, not trusting in anything those in Christianity have to offer, and the premises and basis for what they believe.

So you are hearing from me. But we will not hear from those that walked away and left it all behind.

Yet, their silence speaks volumes. Where do we go after the LC? Some go completely way.
