Meyers is Myer. :rollingeyes2:
Years ago it was TC on the forefront of "change," using every opportunity to do a little "blended bashing," and for the most part deservedly so. As far as actual change, and his impact upon the saints, I do believe John Myer is ahead of every one else. As brilliant and as educated as Nigel is, it is extremely rare to find a brother with the genius of Myer, one who barely made it thru high school by his own admission. He is also the most gifted speaker. Paul Neider is a long time Cleveland elder -- from Mansfield no less -- who always tried to put people ahead of programs. He is the only one not full-time. For the most part, Yoder follows TC, and is the "surprise" of the group. Where's Norm?
The attitudes of all these brothers towards the blendeds is similar, having witnessed first hand the divisions and lawsuits. It is hard to say how far each one goes in his assessment that WL was the source of all "blended behaviour." This is a more touchy subject, which some admit in private, but becomes controversial in discussions. For years the saints got "conditioned" with the thought that it was TC was more spiritual and more closely following WL as the "true successor."
Now ... going a step further, and realizing that TC and WL and the blendeds are in many ways all the same ... may never happen.
