Can you dismiss WL's ministry because of his sins?

I think that it was very clear.

And when I say that I reject Lee outright, I also clearly did not simply leave the LRC and immediately reject Lee. I actually defended him for many (many) years. It was only when I was faced with this and its predecessor forums that I began to see that I should reject the whole, not just cherry-pick.

But I am also surrounded by strong evangelical teachings so that I am never at risk of doing the old baby-with-the-bathwater thing. I know what is sound. But when something gives me reason to stop and think, I stop and think. I explore anything that doesn't jive.

And I've concluded that the fact that it has Lee's name attached to it is grounds to start with a strongly skeptical view.

Yes, I have concluded likewise. I believe that anyone who will ask the Lord for help in knowing what is true and will seriously and objectively examine the unadulterated Word of God will reach the same conclusion.
