What if Brother Lee/Blend Brothers confessed to our past history publicly and apologized? I'm not talking about teaching here. I know there are many teachings in the LC that main-stream christianity disagree with. I'm talking just about history. What do you think will happen to the Recovery?
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?
Run wild with your imagination. I like to see what you all think. Don't take this too seriously. This is just for fun. I'm just curious.

And what if President Nixon would have come clean right way concerning the Watergate break-in?
Both the Bible and history teach us to confess and come clean immediately. The sooner the better. Something can only be rightly called a "mistake" when it is done accidentally, and without motive. Once a plan is conceived by the authorities to coverup wrongdoing, it can no longer be considered a "mistake." The actual crimes then begin to multiply exponentially. Eventually the point is reached where the lies become the "new truth," because they are repeatedly affirmed.
WL in his twilight did confess to something, but we will never know what it was. We do know that regarding John Ingalls and so many other wronged brothers, WL never "
went to his brothers." That public apology may have been tearful and heartfelt, but it accomplished really nothing. His adherents are still debating what he really meant. Unfortunately WL passed on without any reconciliation with the brothers he was in conflict with, neither those on the receiving end of lawsuits, nor of quarantines.
