Apologies are never accepted by some leaders and apologies are never given by them for anything they do. It really comes down to love. Love builds up, hatred and division tears down.

Love in the LC is a type of love you see in Luke 6:32. Loving those who love them. Lack of love is seen through their reviling words. How many times has a conference or training meeting been used against a Jo Casteel, a Steve Isitt, a Nigel Tomes, a John Ingalls, and so on. Because there is a lack of love, any words of love by LC leaders are received as in 1 Corinthians 13:1.
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:37-38
Why is there a lack of apologies, lack or forgiveness, and a lack of love in the LC? I can only guess it goes back to the deputy authority teaching. They as the co-workers, elders, and deacons are God's deputy authority. To apologize or to forgive is beneath them. Rather there is the attitude expressed through their behavior, anyone who feels wronged or mistreated must take the cross.
