He said that he can tell every time something dramatic happens because the numbers requesting dis-enrollment will suddenly spike upwards.

Of course the LDS church did what DCS has done, put up their own answering website, trying to massage history.

A lot of these types of groups simply refuse to acknowledge the concerns of their members, so people take to the internet to voice their concerns, and then these groups fire back on the internet as well.

The LC tells members not to read anything on the internet. After Jo's letter came out, they held a meeting for past FTT graduates where some of them spoke and also claimed to have not read the letter (I suspect that many of them did). Everything since then, the LC has been obsessed with trying to refute all the things that people supposedly never read in the first place.

This is where it is interesting to read between the lines a little bit. By publishing a site like shepherdingwords.com, they are inadvertently admitting that: 1) their members read 'negative' writings on the internet, 2) that their members might tend to agree with some of those things that they read and 3) that the past 'turmoils' that were supposedly resolved really aren't.
