CHANGE is a GOOD THING...so long as we are changing into the image and likeness of our Blessed HOPE-CHRIST JESUS!!

I'm with cmw on this one. We as christians accepted God's prescription for change when we believed.

God alone can judge another's heart, whether it changed, from pure and loving to not so.

Now, teachings is another matter. "Lee deviated" is the wrong way to put it; it skirts to close to the judgment which alone belongs to God. "Lee made a good point here; but he erred there" is better. Focus on the points. "This idea is good, but this one is incorrect, incomplete, too shallow, etc" That is fine if you are talking about the "truth".

But to ascribe darkness to another's heart is itself a deviation. Let's not go there, shall we? It seems Lee did this in places in the FPR, and he may have done this elsewhere that I am not aware of. Let's not be his disciples in this regard, but rather be disciples of Christ. Charity, forbearance, tolerance, forgiveness, etc. That is our truth, our reality. There is no "truth" which should cause us to raise our arms against our brothers and sisters.
