When I think about how many of the brothers in the GLA who have departed due to TC abuses, it is really incredible. They love the Lord and the church, yet departed for no other reason than "they had a problem with TC." The recent departure of the young people in Columbus and the saints in Cincy proves that not even a quarantine with all its turmoil, including lawsuits and busted families, can even put a dent in their armor.

My comment, which you quoted, was saying that the conscience within the saints would cause them to be troubled to the point of waking up and responding. One way in which they would respond would be to leave. The fact that so many have left strongly supports this point. I am not in any way saying, nor am I concerned, that all will feel this way (that is absurd -- if all felt that way then who is the source of the trouble?). I am not concerned with how the "true exclusive" feels. The principle is that the treasure in the LRC was the genuine believers, as these leave, you squeeze the life juice out of the LRC and turn it into something that is legalistic and devoid of life and love. You may think that "nothing can put a dent in the armor of a pride of lions" but if you look closely you will see that they are infested with parasites sucking the blood out of them. We have described the LSM as those that "make merchandise of the saints". Well if those saints leave and you are left with "the true exclusive" then who are you going to make merchandise of now? In the same way, if you removed all the true believers from the Earth you would be left with liars, thieves, psychopaths, etc. The Earth would become a man made hell. If all those with an active and sensitive conscience leave the LRC, then what will you have left?
