So bro awareness, is this a Google Maps doctrine that says if you are thousands of miles away butt out and if you are hundreds of miles away you can takeover and misappropriate local church finances. Since Titus was in Cleveland he can appoint his own elders in Mansfield and Columbus and channel the funding to the charity of his choice?
So then, how do you advise Titus about his adventures in Kampala? Just how far is Cleveland from Kampala?

It was a mid-west problem. That did not make any of it right. As I said, Christ was absent from all parties involved. LSM had no right to step in. Not unless LSM is the headquarters over all local churches, and autonomy of the locality was tossed out of the ground of the locality doctrine.
The whole thing smacks of "The Governing Body" over all of the Kingdom Halls. Same, same.
