What set of values does the concept of "life" encompass? I would like to think that it encompasses some kind of higher standard. I do have a hard time believing that, given the actions taken by LC leaders to remove those who attempted to address basic issues of right and wrong. Because there is the thought that discerning according to right and wrong brings in "death", and because it is unclear what standard of "life" those in the LC live by, doesn't that make for a dangerous situation? To be fair, I believe many in the LC do care about right and wrong, the problem is that those voices are never heard. How many are there in the LC who have keep silent when it comes to right and wrong? I know that I have. I'm sure there are many others.

What does this all mean to not care for right or wrong, but care for life? Well! In practice it means "not making an issue of persons, matters or things". It means we (meaning while we're those meeting in the local churches) are not going to be figuratively overturning the money changers table in the temple.
Then they came to Jerusalem. And He entered the temple and began to drive out those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves; Mark 11:15
