The problem is that they never just said "don't say anything negative." It was always surrounded by verses that were claimed to be guiding principles on the subject (or manipulated into sounding like it), along with one or more of Lee's stories that were supposed to prove that the principle he claims was true.

How often did we fail to realize that it was the story told that really made the point and not the scripture? In fact, the scripture too often did not get us there. If it weren't for the story, we might never have bought it. So we dismissed the lack of support in the scripture and instead let some tailor-made story convince us of what the scripture could not.

Yeah, we were cooked. "That one's well done. Put him on the plate. That's the way the MOTA likes em."
