Drake, you criticize TC for interfering in a "local matter" when he had helped to shepherd the church in Mansfield for literally decades. The first contact LSM ever had with Mansfield was to incite a handful of anti-TC dissidents, some of them long gone ex-members, to disrupt the meetings and subsequently file a lawsuit. Then you justify LSM's interference from 2,000 miles away to a "work" matter.
It's just a game you and LSM has been playing for decades. I have given numerous examples of this, both by Lee and by LSM. I listed the cities of Miami, NYC, Rosemead,
Vancouver, Raleigh, Mansfield, Columbus, Toronto. WL did the same thing in Taipei in 1985, firing the elders, and establishing 80 "proxies" illegally. The church in Taipei had run WL out of town in the late 50's over his corrupt business practices.
Here's another pathetic example of the games LSM played. When Philip Lee was molesting the female "interns" at LSM, after daddy Lee had appointed him the "Office Manager," the elders in Anaheim were condemned for both so clled "principles" of locality and regionality. When John Ingalls et.al. approached Benson Philips about it, BP refused to be involved because it was a "local matter." Yet BP worked with LSM for years. When JI et. al. excommunicated Philip, the action was condemned because Philip was part of the ministry work, and not a member of the church in Anaheim. Convenient. Play it both ways. So corrupt.
Drake, you are supposedly the expert on all things LSM, so why did you assist in the coverup of potentially criminal actions? You are right about "lots of complications." The matter will never end until the officers at LSM repent, make reparations, and come clean.
