In this case, saints did not donate but invest for gain, which would be difference, but in essence, the principle is the same. for the furtherance of the gospel.
The initiator brother has been saying that he has discussed with leadership brothrs in LSM about his business. The more serious part is as follows. Some metropolitan Seoul area brothers flied to Taiwan to solve the turmoil caused by the business failure, while hoping that the leading brothers in Taipei(in every time there is difficulty in South Korea, they would fly to Taipei for new direction from Taiwanese leading brothers) would announce that the brothers involved in the business be officially judged guilty from the standpoint of high level of morality in the Lord's Recovery. But, the result was exact opposite. The leading brothers in Taipei scolded those appealing brothers, citing lack of the spirit of forgiveness etc. It is needless to say that those appealing brothers was so shocked. My question is this. Would the leading brothers of Taipie have discussed this matter with LSM borthers before Korean brothers arrived? If so, the result would be as intended from the States?
Now, the leading brother of pro-Witness camp, who was one of integral man of the failed business, survived the turmoil, and re-establised himself as the prominent leading brother of South Korea. And then, the appealing brothers have been put aside gradually year after year.
Holistically speaking, I'm afraid there have been so called internal politics surrounding this turmoil, rather than pure following the principle of the Bible. So sad. I believe real courage from the Lord is to confess wrongdoings to public as needed, of course followed by appropriate correction. Just hiding the truth citing "for the Lord" is another hypocricy in disguise. Even Catholic, LC criticilzes so much as spiritual harlot, has made multiple apologies for their historical wrongdoings, but I have never seen LC apologizing. This is because they think they are perfect, which is a variation of infalliblity notion, no matter how they outwardly deny it.
BTW, TLFisher, I heared of Dayster, but not Linko. Any thread about it for me to read for comparsion?
