Short term cause & effect: Chaos? Some will leave the LC? Many will question its teachings?
Long term cause & effect: Will the LC actually gain more members. Will they be more accepted by other christians?

I'm not sure what the short or long term effects would be and they shouldn't be worried about it. As a stand-alone action they should apologize for the sake of their own integrity. Speaking for myself I certainly would have more respect for them if they did.
The Bible is full of negative history and we can learn from it and so is 2000+ years of the church's existence. But while not squarely facing their own sordid history they berate "Christianity" for it's negative history. So added to the
lack of integrity is
hypocrisy. And may I suggest after all the layers are striped away it is these two items that are really fundamentally problematic in the LC system especially among the coworkers and elders.
