The most obnoxious of all WL doublespeak was this little phrase "
The Office."
We were all continually told about all the faithful serving brothers and sisters functioning as Levitical priests behind the scenes, carrying out the Lord's burden to spread the riches of Christ throughout the whole earth ...
phooey! ...
but what WL really meant was
his son, Philip, an unregenerate, obnoxious,
can't even rise up to the level of a backslider, abusive bully who was in charge at LSM.
