Initially TC was sympathetic and supportive of John. Then after he visited WL himself, TC suddenly flip-flopped. TC was forced to "choose sides." And we know who side he chose.

Yet, on several occasions, in regional gatherings in Cleveland, TC would tell us that it was always wrong when leaders forced the saints to "choose sides." It was like contentious parents forcing their children to choose sides. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, TC threw JI under the bus and then kept quiet concerning the actual facts of the conflicts in Anaheim. TC then began saying that, "WL is my spiritual father, and his mistakes are none of my business."

Actually, no, that was not an acceptable answer. If your father is sinning and abusing your mother, grown children should step in to protect her, and expose the abuse. The specifics of the situation determine the necessary course of action, but TC's comment to JI that, "you owe WL even your life," was way beyond the pale. That was to take what we owe only our Lord Jesus, and give it to an errant servant. Because of this, none of the Midwest saints ever learned about the real corruption at LSM.

Take any current/past leader in the Recovery Movement. I'm sure there are some who would echo what Titus Chu said regarding Witness Lee. I cannot say that regarding any brother. Liking them or respecting them is irrelevant.
I would say, who died for your sins?
