If you're going to make an argument against a person, make an argument. I'm not Catholic but I've read some Catholic books from which I gleaned some truth. Why smear the Plymouth Brethren just because you had a bad LC experience?

Interesting,
SpeakersCorner.
During the "storm" of the late 80's/early 90's (perhaps before your time?) Bill Mallon in Atlanta began circulating another "obscure Brethren book" by G.H. Lang titled
The Churches of God.
Lang wrote this book in the aftermath of the time when Darby, Wigram, et.al. took over all the so-called "autonomous and independent" local assemblies in the original Brethren movement, thus expelling (quarantining?) both gifted brothers Benjamin Newton of Plymouth and George Muller of Bristol.
Some of the events were so similar to what WL and LSM was doing at the time, that many so-called "rebellious" LC leaders found Lang's expose on Bible church ecclesiastical truths quite enlightening. Lang equipped the local assemblies against the heavy handed tactics of an abusive Headquarters.
The circulation of this book never made it to the Midwest, that I know of. TC ran defense for WL, allowing no other truths to "muddy" the waters.
