I didn't know it was John that they talked to. It's ironic how no matter how hard the blendeds want to cover up history, it finds a way of revealing itself.
Before I ever read anything on the internet, I saw John's name in the hymnal introduction. I also saw it in the preface/forward to older copies of the classic LSM titles, and I saw it in some Life Sudy messages.
So there I was, a church kid who grew up after all these brothers had left. I never heard the names of any brothers like JI, it wasn't until I saw those names in print that I began to wonder who they were. I even asked someone about it and they said they didn't know. I thought to myself, hmmmmm this seems suspicious. Eventually I found out by reading these forums.
My point is that I think trainees would be shocked to learn just a basic lesson in LC history (60's-80's). The only reason I know anything about LC history is through the internet, otherwise it is an off limits topic. Trainees dedicate 2 years of their lives to the LC. They certainly deserve a basic history lesson.
