I will address being overwhelmed and how this came about.
About 2 months ago I was making some LSM/LC related searches on the Internet. I saw something that caught my attention and brought it up on the screen. One more click of the mouse and up pops a book authored by someone named John Ingalls. I read it. I am stunned. I recount how many times I have heard about "the rebellion of the late eighties", "the rebellious ones", and "those who left the LR and are now opposers",etc.,etc.,etc., throughout the years. I start realizing the implications of what this means to me. I had been mislead(ouuuch!!:frown  |
A Sojourner, same thing happened to me. Back in late '05 / early '06 I also came across Ingall's account of events called "
Speaking the Truth in Love." He was a very well respected brother in the churches, void of any iota of rebellion, yet that's what we all were told. I had been active in the churches for 30 years.
Reading that book, and then the accounts of many others, my respect for WL dropped dramatically. I still appreciate some of what I learned from him, but I will never appreciate the way he treated and abused other brothers.
