Double Standards

A few more:
Why is it that Ron and Kerry could write a book in which they purported to "discern" a situation, yet when their analysis was put under the microscope, Ron hid behind the analogy of the two trees? Ron gets to "discern" what he perceives to be good and bad, but if anyone else does, it is characterized as being of the "wrong tree" and he might even call someone a "man of death".

Why is it that BFA, a non-profit corporation, needs to buy advertising on Facebook to distribute free literature? If a ministry is really that good, wouldn't people be happy to receive free literature without prompting? Wouldn't people also be willing to buy the books if it's that good?

And why does a group that blasts everyone else for taking names other than that of the Lord Jesus Christ continually sprout new names, like Bibles for America, Christians on Campus, Defense and Confirmation, Lord's Move to Europe, and so forth?

Is their only defense, "When we do it, it's okay, but when others do it, it's not okay"? Talk about double standards.

Another double standard....we've heard over the years about elders and coworkers leaving the LC/LSM fellowship being attributed to offenses, unfulfilled ambitions, etc. I really don't believe it's the case, but in considering the reasoning I suppose that means the elders, coworkers, etc who didn't leave the LC/LSM fellowship have fulfilled their ambitions.

They would probably say that these organizations are not part of the church, so it's okay to give them names. If that were their response, I would then ask them why have those who have shown indifference or opposition to such organizations been excommunicated from the local churches, if the said organizations have nothing to do with the church?
