Sometimes, these things cause people to become more entrenched.

Yes, there are some true believers that will accept that the deputy authority doctrine is really true and therefore allow the sins without a second thought.
But I know someone who heard a little about that stuff probably 20 years after the fact and started digging around a little. The result was eventually an exit from their numbers.
You realize that while FOTPR was written to put such a negative spin on the righteous ones that the sins they exposed would be ignored, most who ever read any of it actually knew nothing of the sins and therefore had little reason to think any thing other than what was told in that little book of lies.
So Daystar and the illegal financial shenanigans there, Lee's son, Timothy, having his women in his office, then the other son, Phillip, with his women in the LSM office while ordering churches around like pawns on a chess board are needed to be refreshed periodically. Along with the reasons Lee came to America (chased out of Taiwan over money problems) and even the evident sins of his predecessor, Nee, who responded with the deputy authority teaching, probably to see to it that his propensity for gross sin could never be used against him again.
