Ask Awareness. I would find that shocking. During the Summer of 78 we spent months discussing the Max R expulsion. WL gave very clear messages concerning the truth. In those messages he strongly rebuked anyone who said he was the MOTA and said that if anyone said that you should stand up and rebuke them to their face. He even charged saints to stand up and rebuke him to his face if he said that. I would find it very hard to imagine that anyone could get away with what Mel Porter did to Awareness within a year of those messages.
Also, we had a lengthy discussion before on the origin of the teaching of the MOTA and everyone agreed that it came from RG after the Philippians training. First, for a few months after the training he was developing the teaching, little glimmers here and there in the meeting. Then about 8 months later he was bolder, laying out the entire teaching to the church in Houston. Then in Irving he began pushing it on other elders.
