I believe covering the shortcomings of leaders is to be practiced. I don't think it is anyone's business if a church leader stayed home and drank too much of his home-made wine. Not something I would recommend on a regular basis, but occasionally it might relieve stress, or something like that.
But no one is hurt. No crimes are committed. No one is taken advantage of.
And this is where things unravel for LSM. We have Daystar, sexual impropriety, abuse, misappropriation of monies, public smear campaigns, etc. at LSM over the years. Lots of people got hurt! And then you expect us to be silent and cover the sins of Lee, his family, and his staff.
The bottom line is we need to heed the plain teachings of the New Testament long before we believe someone's self-serving interpretation of Old testament types and figures.
