1. I think in the abuse, cover up, smear campaign, and justification there is evidence of a lack of concern for the sheep. So evidence that someone does not care for the sheep is clearly evidence that they are a hireling, whereas someone who is willing to risk his life for the sheep would be evidence of being one with the Lord. So the BBs rubber stamp approach is evidence that they are hirelings.
2. There are "wolves". Clearly, the goal of the wolf is to devour the sheep. So among the false prophets and false apostles evidence that the person is "devouring" the sheep as in Daystar, or the PL travesty, etc would be evidence of the person being a wolf. Based on this I would say that there is evidence that WL was a wolf. To me speaking Biblical truths is not evidence of either side. Satan can appear as an angel of light. Standing up to the wolves as JI and others did is evidence that these are genuine shepherds of the sheep, whereas the quarantine of TC, and covering the eyes concerning PL and JI is evidence of hirelings.

Paul's warning to the Ephesian elders has been quite helpful to me. He cited two types of dangers in addition to that of the "hirelings."

Acts 20.29-30 I know after my departure, fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. And from among you yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverted things to draw away the disciples after themselves.

Most LCers will not accept that WL/LSM are wolves in sheep's clothing, but when considering all of LSM's wild claims about WL, during the many times of coercion surrounding the New Way, in light of Paul's warning here, they have to stop and think.
