Ohio, not sure if this indicates what David has or has not read. This portion is from:
WRITINGS ON THE TURMOIL AMONG THE CHURCHES
Page 22
"In 1989 a number of senior co-workers who could not go along with the new emphasis on the ministry, and who also felt there were some very serious problems internally at the Living Stream Ministry itself, rose up in an attempt to warn Brother Lee concerning these matters, but he would not accept their admonition. Instead, he and those around him eventually labeled these co-workers as “divisive” and “rebellious,” and then put them out of the fellowship.
In the U.S., this turmoil mainly affected the churches in California. Those of us who were outside of that area, and not so directly involved, simply assumed that Brother Lee and those with him must have been right to take such action. Today, however, we may say that while there are different views as to what exactly happened in this turmoil, and whether or not the brothers who were put out conducted themselves in a proper manner, it now seems clear that the case was not nearly so one-sided as we in the churches outside of California had assumed.
