What is the dilemma? The Lord told us these things would happen. The only dilemma I can see would be if they didn't happen.

FYI, these were words communicated to me by a blended co-worker. The will of the body equals the feeling of the LSM leadership. While these brothers are members of the body, they do not and cannot represent the feeling of all the members of the body.
Rather such speaking is out of desire to seek approval of man. In John 5 Jesus points that out, I do not receive man’s approval/glory (depending on translation).
Jesus would not receive honor from man. Receiving honor from man versus the love of God. Each are mutually exclusive. Cannot equate receiving honor from man with the love of God. One might say in order to receive honor from God, you need to experience dishonor (Luke 6:22-23). Invariably when an elder or a co-worker is focused with being “one with the brothers”, he is in fact concerned about being dishonored by men.
In my effort to remain on topic, this dishonor seen in Luke 6 is what happened to these sisters and to brother Max.
