The answer is that we trusted our leaders, we submitted to them as the scripture has instructed us. It was they who betrayed our trust. It was often self-serving motives in local leaders which caused them not to stand up for righteousness, and instead bow down and stick their head in the sand.

How can we be accountable for what we did not know? We as young believers are not responsible for being deceived by Christian ministers any more than a child is responsible for being abused. As long as LSM was in complete control of all information, they had a semblance of prosperity. Today, with information so readily available, LSM has had to court folks like Hank HandyGraft of CRI to maintain their credibility as Christians.
