Very true. What strikes me as particularly sad in the case of John is it was so soon after the whole Whistler thing towards Titus. It's so blatantly hypocritical of Titus to behave in this way.

But the funny thing about the ground of locality teaching is that some coworkers who leave the LC system are still so adamant about it. This was a hang up with John So and some others when he left. He was all about the ground of locality and didn't want to work with those who weren't. Not that anyone was against the ground of locality they just weren't for it anymore either. But to some people neutrality is not an option. You must be for it wholeheartedly and loudly. And so the ground of locality became a point of contention and division. Dividing over the "oneness".

TC along with a multitude of others (many posted on the Concerned Brothers website) cried out for basic Christian liberty and a return to the pattern laid out in the scriptures during the conflict with the Anaheim Blendeds. Then in the aftermath of rigid legalism over the use of drums in worship service and the rotten hypocrisy of lawsuits over church names, TC turns around and dumps his "star" pupil for basically refusing to be bullied any longer. Imagine that!
