Ohio probably explained it best once you get to the bottom. As for the letter, it was political.
Here's my take on it. If you have read
Speaking the Truth in Love, John Ingalls got into the awkwardness of dealing with Philip Lee. Here was an immoral man who managed LSM's business in Anaheim, but he did not meet with the Church in Anaheim. Was this a local matter or an extra-local matter? Then the games begin when John Ingalls and Ken Unger go to Texas I believe to meet with Benson Phillips and Ray Graver. They were offended of being involved thinking
it's a local matter and not an extra-local matter. How can it be a local matter, when you have someone not meeting locally, but has his hands in localities' business throughout the world? Eventually the Anaheim elders do take action and by those that met in Anheim probably feel it was 10 years overdue.
The other hand of playing games probably came to fruition in 1993. How can the elders discipline the LSM General manager who doesn't meet with the Church in Anaheim.
It's not a local matter, it's an extra-local matter.
Understand how the game is played? The situation changes like sinking sand when it benefits the ministry.
