Once the proxy elders controlled the finances there appeared to be no stopping them.
Some in this forum are fond of criticizing these believers for seeking help from the courts. They say "why not be wronged?" Or "its not christian! "... well, that is easy to say... as long as it is not YOUR house being taken away.Those obedience demanding elders should have been slapped down sooner. They hid their unscriptural heavy handedness behind erroneous teachings..". I'm the authority here now, you must do what I say, you must obey me".... well, apparently not.

It's not us who wrote I Corinthians 6, but since LSMers go by the Book of Lee, it's not in your Bible.
So hypocritical and deceptive that Drake mocks the elders appointed by TC. This forum is filled with Lee's appointment of "proxy" elders and church takeovers, but that's OK if LSM does it, huh Drake. In one post I listed a bunch of cities where this happened. Drake conveniently forgets that Lee fleeced the LCs for useless properties, tennis rackets, cheap suits, motor homes, acres of Expensive SoCal real estate.
TC used money to support workers and their families. To his credit, TC never had one scandal that damaged the Church, personal or otherwise. Compare that to all the financial boondoggles and molested sisters and victims of the Lee family.
