She should have gone with her initial "gut feeling" which corresponded with the actual events. None of the facts of what happened were mentioned at the conference.
Instead she was forced to choose between Witness Lee and John Ingalls. Unfortunately Lee owned the podium, and most chose Lee's lies over the truth.

I think that it made a big difference that I didn't read John Ingalls' book until I had already become somewhat disillusioned with the LC. The account of Lee's behavior during that conference just casts such a big shadow on WL and everything that people thought him to be. His behavior was just so outrageous, there's really no way that anyone could rationalize it.
For those who are in the LC, I think that the dilemma they are facing goes beyond it being a simple issue of lies vs facts. Most of them have invested a good amount of time/money in the the LC, even to the point of moving around the country, picking places to live, careers that accommodate the LC, etc. For them to admit that they need to leave is a big deal. And unfortunately, I think it's just too difficult for some people to arrive at that conclusion.
