Sorry to say, man never fails to disappoint. No matter how many times the benefit of the doubt is given, result is always failure. In Jesus, He is sure, He is unfailing, and He is perfect.
In the Local Churches mistakes have been made, but no apologies made, and no confessions given. With the "rebellions", "turmoils", etc which were nothing more than reacting to sin, it's brothers and sisters that get discarded for objecting to sin.
Yes, the benefit of the doubt has been given and I for one did give it. I was proven wrong, not much has changed. There's still verbal condemnation of non-LSM assemblies. I even went to an elder about it and the concern was received with indifference. When there's no compassion, no love, and there's no reality of the Church.
