Ohio,

Don't feel so bad. I was out of the LC for almost 20 years before I stopped defending Lee. I may not have been unreserved in my defense, nor did I "revere" him, but I thought he had taught well.

I knew something was wrong, but I thought it was just the practice and that this was a problem with individuals and local leadership. Boy did I have that wrong. It was a systemic problem whose root was "the ministry" and Lee is the center of that — even if the source of the more outward problems was the LSM office and the circle of workers around it, including Benson and Ray.
