Regarding the OP's thoughts about the saints' returning. I was reminded of one message by Ron Kangas (circa 2000) post-WL, where he basically prophesied that many saints would return to the Recovery. At that time I had no idea what underlying reasons sparked the departure of John Ingalls et. al. years prior. I was hopeful hearing that. Not long after, I'm hearing those same old whispers of animosity between Cleveland and Anaheim. Then I read the Phoenix Accord which was shockingly childish. "We agree to be fair and treat each other nice." Huh? Soon they started preparing for another division in the body.
LSM has never been honest about past "storms." They live in a total delusion about their own sordid history. Because they do not love the truth, God has given them over to an operation of error. (2 Thess 2.10-12)

When I think of life in the Local Churches, I remember:
"Growing up, it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided". Simply those in the lead do not want a transparent history. Thus opinions are provided.
Back to the letter TC was crafting, I seem to recall an old bereans.net post when Norm was active. Something to the effect it wasn't Titus crafting the letter, but Benson? I could be wrong should anyone know concretely.
Ohio, I remember the Phoenix Accord. It sure didn't last long. If memory serves Nigel ended up being blind-sided at one of the following winter trainings?
