In one of the last opportunities the brothers had to reconcile, instead of receiving John they had John escorted off the premises.
Additionally I would say the authors at Shepherdingwords.com cannot say anything in completion regarding Max and John without mentioning Phillip.
It is a partial truth for Shepherdingwords.com to say John left. To omit the rest of the story is to make the partial pass as the whole. Much like Ananias and Sapphira did in Acts chapter 5, Shepherdingwords.com has done the same.
Regarding Max, though I was living in Anaheim at the time I have no recollection of him as I did Francis Ball, Al Knoch, and John Ingalls. I was but a 4th grader at the time Max left.
I will say per testimony of a family friend who went with my parents to Francis Ball's memorial service, Max was there. Blended co-workers had opportunity to speak with Max, but instead treated him as if there was some magnetic polarity field preventing them from approaching Max. I can see that happening. I witnessed something similar in Bellevue, WA at my uncle's memorial service in 2014. Steve Isitt was there. None of the metro Seattle (Bellevue/Seattle/Renton) elders who were present could approach Steve either. There was a magnetic field preventing the brothers from approaching Steve. I say that in sarcasm, but it demonstrates the brothers unwillingness to be cordial at best.
