The LCS Factor

Yesterday I heard a brother with his wife as witness to the truth of what he said, tell about the trip to Taiwan in 1968 by 142 (I think) brothers and sisters from the U.S. He confessed that about half way through that trip he realized they were all being used by W. Lee to demonstrate to the folks in Taiwan that the Lord was blessing him in the U.S. He wasn't sure what to think of that, but has a clear memory of realizing it. He also remembers seeing some "opposers" picketing outside the meeting halls with signs and shouting some things.

Also, he told about an experience on that trip that where silence speaks volumes. He said they were in some kind of public transportation station. WL told Bill Mallon how to line every one up. Bill did so, but had misunderstood and did it wrong. When WL saw what Bill had done, he went ballistic and yelled at Bill for a few minutes for not doing exactly what he had told him, humiliating hiim in front of everyone. Guess what everyone said when that happened?

Nothing.

Anyone posting on this forum remember that?

That was clearly a time to speak. How many more things happened that were answered with silence? Are the silent guilty? Or, were they just innocently loving the Lord? When decades later good, innocent people silently bowed to the decrees of W. Lee concerning John I, Bill M, etc. decrees which were clearly against the body of Christ and the teachings of the Bible about how to treat brothers, were the silent ones just innocently there loving the Lord when they agreed to break fellowship with those brothers? Were they bowing to the demands of God or of Lee? If not God, then wasn't that idolatry?
