I don't think you understand the issue here. No one disputes that the NT teaches about quarantines and excommunication. The issue I and others have is that the NT teaches very specifically about how and why this should be done. I feel, after looking carefully at the story, that the BB's pretended to be following the "how" in a way similar to what we refer to covering up sin with a fig leaf. But the why was the most heinous, it was bogus without any of what the NT requires.
My point is that if the LRC is going to quarantine saints they must do it according to the teaching of the Apostles in the NT. They didn't do this and the churches and saints (for the most part) did nothing. I wrote a response, a brother ran a website in which many others commented on it as well.
