I could ask the same of you?? ?? ??
I do it because I enjoy connecting with LCer's. But I know plenty that don't waste their time on any LC forums.

In fact, the sister that initially introduced me to LC forums, by linking a post on The Bereans.net, doesn't want anything to do with being on LC forums. She's moved on. She now studies cults. I wonder why??

Her husband, not a LCer, is, or was, a genius Orthodox Jew (still a genius). He too has an interest in cults. I wonder why??

Oh darn. That dreaded rerun again. Sorry.

It is so important to warn others about the LSM and there is almost no recent content for the poor college student that find themselves in this group. Plus new folks come along every so often that can benefit from those who have been on the inside and seen the LSM for what it really is.

I agree it is also fun/interesting to hear from others. My final months in the LSM I felt as if I was going crazy - the blatant deception and corrosive culture is far from being the Ministey of the Age - maybe quite worse. Go figure, I leave the LSM church and find this website where others have also seen what I saw!

I don’t talk about my time in the LSM outside of this forum. Quite frankly it’s embarrassing and I’m far too prideful to be associate with such a group, plus unless someone has been in a cult, they wouldn’t understand anyway. The entire premise that Witness Lee promotes is intriguing until you understand the reality of it. Either he was the MOTA and his ministry is the MOTA or he wasn’t - and it isn’t.

Read as much as you can about the ministry, visit their churches if you need to, seek the council of a strong believer outside of the LSM as an unbiased source of guidance. Most importantly read scripture and pray that the Spirit will lead you to truth. I believe the Lord will be faithful in that, he was to me, and for that I’m grateful.
