Try this, take a Houston phone list of saints from 1977, choose only those "with the vision of Christ and the Church", eliminate those that have died. Now how many of those that are left still meet with the LRC? If it is only 50% why so few?

Jane and her husband were "pillars" in the church. TC was considered another leading brother with a ministry. You ignore the obvious, how can your conclusions be accurate?

It seems that you're always lumping everything into two categories, the 70's, and everything since the 70's. Why not try something more like this --
1977
1987
1997
2000's
You described a slow, prolonged atrophy of saints, constantly pinging at Benson's consciousness over 30 years. All I'm saying is, aren't you really talking about what went down in the 80's? That's a little bit different. That was a generation ago.
Instead of going back to 1977, I could probably have come forward to 1997, what about the 14 years that Mr. Phillips has shared the top of the LRC totem pole?
What sinking ship?
How can your conclusions be relevant, when your context is so narrow?
