Technically true, but ...
PL was LSM's "Office Manager." ALL WORKER ACTIVITIES around the globe were to be under his direction. ALL workers, from Anaheim to Zealand, including Stuttgart, HAD to be reported to Phillip Lee. John So and other church leaders learned this and immediately departed from the Recovery, and rejected all contact with WL and LSM.
As with the Watergate fiasco of '73, the coverup was far worse that the crime. The coverup of PL's immoralities was orchestrated by WL himself. This is why so many leaders lost all faith in WL. Then he went on to discredit any and all who had the guts to speak out for righteousness sake.
Yes, Ingalls wrote and spoke out that
“the nature of the Lord’s recovery has changed,” but that was as much to do with the "leadership" of PL as anything else. WL had removed himself from the scene, and all leaders from around the globe were instructed to report to PL, his "most trusted co-worker." Surely
“the nature of the Lord’s recovery has changed” for such a profligate character to be in charge.
