MacArthur was brilliant in retreat as well as in attack.

King David is another great example.

There are many ways to skin a cat. I don't stand with running and hiding, but to provide a thorough account and at the same time take a stand that eliminates any thought of rebellion or self serving may have been the best way to go.
I should say that those who left did talk privately to those who asked. I have not found anything that was written, however. In this regard, related to all the storms that originated in Anaheim, TC used to boast that no brother under his care ever became a problem to the Recovery.

If a leader needs his former workers to be silent at their departure, then he is not beyond reproach, and must have much to hide. There is no record in the N.T. of Paul abusing his co-workers, so LC leaders who abuse one another are without Biblical support. Thus they desire departing workers to maintain "radio silence" at all costs.
