How can we be accountable for what we did not know? We as young believers are not responsible for being deceived by Christian ministers any more than a child is responsible for being abused. As long as LSM was in complete control of all information, they had a semblance of prosperity. Today, with information so readily available, LSM has had to court folks like Hank HandyGraft of CRI to maintain their credibility as Christians.

Oddly, that is what the whole wood, hay, and stubble passage is talking about. But Lee turned it away from speaking about the leadership and made it about us. That way we would think everything that went wrong was our fault.
