I'm not suggesting ignorance of history changes history. But I am suggesting that if you are pure and innocent and you become the leader then there is a good chance for change.
Corruption, not wrong teaching (I'm not saying WL doesn't have wrong teaching), was what brought down the recovery in the 80's. This is very obvious to me. This was what caused the LCs to lose its blessings. Once corruption is gone, then the blessing will come again.
By the way, I don't consider it corrupt to follow a ministry exclusively. But I do consider it wrong to force others to do the same.
From the other point of view: just as it is wrong to condemn someone who does not follow WL's ministry, it is just as wrong to condemn someone who does (even if they do it exclusively). We have the freedom in Christ to follow the ministry/ministries that helps us the most. Please do not tell me which ministry I should read or not read. You may make suggestions but not condemnations. You must be fair on both sides. I understand some of you are against WL's ministry because you find that it doesn't help you. I respect that. But please also respect those who are helped by WL's ministry.
Lastly, I don't know if any of you still participate as an active member in the LCs. I am still one. From my observation, regardless of what you all say, I have not seen the kind of corruption in the young people that you describe with the BB. I don't doubt that what some of you say about the BB is true. However it is unfair to say that the young ones are just the same. Again this is just my observation. True enough, I have not observed EVERY young person in the LCs. But I have observed enough to make a fair statement.
We don't know the future. Only time will tell. But as of right now, I have not observed the exclusivity in the newer generation as I have observed in the old. This is just my observation of all the young people I've seen. I feel it is unfair to say today's new generation is guilty of their predecessors' past. However, if the new generation become corrupt, then we will not see the changes in the LCs that I hope for in the future.
