I don't know that it does.

I’m just not following your logic here
Jay.
I spent many, far too many, hours agonizing over hypocritical points like this. I had to throw out all the righteous standards in scripture in order to remain connected to LSM. In order to agree with your views here, I have to accept the existence of a double standard. One standard for WL, and another standard for every other minister. For decades I heard WL condemning other ministers for their sins, and then I discover that he was guilty of the same. Is that fair? I don’t think so.
The Recovery has one justice scale for outsiders, and another for its own leaders. This is a corrupt balance of justice, which God hates. “Dishonest scales are detestable to the LORD, but He delights in just scales.” (Proverbs 11.1) Does not the Bible also say, “Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent— both are detestable to the LORD.“ (Proverbs 17.15)
