Dear LSM brothers - I beg you, please reconsider your ways.
And, most importantly and most precious of all: "Based in Honor Oak, London, TAS (as he was affectionately known) was not lacking in opposition and rejection to himself and his ministry in the denominational circles of the day, he felt he should neither defend himself nor promote himself.

Brother
KTS, thanks for the info on obtaining the ministry of TAS. It's just amazing to see how all of those who make his ministry available ... have the same heart that he has ... how wonderful.
As you have written, LSM's threatening policies at their on-line publications site, however, is a direct reflection of the minister they are promoting.
In the LC's, TAS and Ingalls were condemned like no others ... sort of like the way Darby and the exclusives condemned George Muller like no other. The ministry of Muller must be more excellent, look at how Darby smeared his name. The ministry of TAS must be more excellent, look at how WL smeared his name.
What a contrast seen in the attitudes of TAS and WL. TAS felt "
he should neither defend himself nor promote himself." On the contrary, for many years I was troubled by WL's bellicose attitude (
I have new missiles to launch at poor, poor Christianity.") He was incessantly promoting himself and defending himself.
I remember seeing a chart one time which documented all the times LSM had threatened legal action. I couldn't believe it. I was always told that the only legal action LSM ever took was against those post-Jonestown thrillers
Mindbenders and
God-Men.
Perhaps most troubling to me was the realization I had when I stopped serving in the LC. At that time I knew only a small fraction of what I have learned since about LSM. But ... one day I realized that there is a systemic disease that runs all thru LSM and the LC's ... they don't treat people well, and the program often produces bullies out of beloved brothers. It took me a long time to realize that "beloved Brother Lee" was the source of this disease.
