The basis for this grossly absurd hyperbole of "one trumpet" was the Feb. 1986 Elders' Training. WL rammed a number of these "extrapolations" down the throats of his followers. BP and RG collaborated by forcing the signatures of all attendants on that pathetic "Letter of Allegiance."
Why did they accept the "one trumpet" is the same as "one publication?"
WL said it, that's why! He also said a number of other wild speculations which help to lay the groundwork for that training.
Those who rejected that nonsense have long since departed, or should I say were expelled via quarantine. Which poses another question, similar to yours, "
How can that possibly be?" How could they believe that John Ingalls et. al. were rebellious lepers deserving quarantine?
WL said so, that's why!
