Is this what you were set aside for; wanting to help couples?

The reasons for what happened to us are not simple, but I would say, yes, part of what we got in trouble for was moving/thinking outside the LSM box. (You know, like thinking about people and their needs
). Note that we never said a word against Lee or his ministry (because at the time we had no idea that his teachings and practices were at the root of the problems we were seeing). We were, however, beginning to have questions about some in the Texas leadership, but these were voiced privately to only a few people we were close to (including one of the Houston elders, Joe Davis). We thought our concerns were in line with the Bible and the Lord, who clearly cares about people.
It seems that some of the powers that existed saw us as promoting things that might weaken the all important LSM focus. To talk about meeting people's needs in any way other than saying they just needed to call on the Lord was a bit too radical.
