I am more or less content with the LC I am in right now. However, I was interested in this site not so much because I have any issues with the LC as it is, but I really like hearing and discussing the other side of the LC history. As a member of the LC, to me it is important to know the truth behind the history.
I think one reason why the LC likes to hide history may be due to the influence of the Chinese culture. Typically, the Chinese (as a nation and individually) do not like bring up the past if it is negative. Instead of admitting to wrongs, they tend to pretend things never happened. Witness Lee was Chinese, I'm sure this hiding thing is very much a part of who he was. Though at the end of his life, he did admit to mistakes he's made publicly, but still very general, no specific details.

Whoever this brother is may he keep speaking. More voices like his need to be heard that come from within the Local Churches. On this particular point of Chinese culture influencing the leaders' hiding of LC history, the subject has yet to be addressed in full and with the impact needed to draw attention from where these deeply-rooted concepts thrive, in their strongholds of both Anaheim and Cleveland.
