However, I'm not afraid to confront LSM if I have a reason to. If I was abused or if I know of someone I am close to abused by them, I am definitely not afraid to confront.

I cannot confront LSM and judge them for what happened in the 80's. I wasn't even there. Don't get me wrong, I believe in John Ingalls' story. But I cannot fight for him. I wasn't there. I can only believe his story and be sympathetic for John. But I cannot confront LSM based on some material I read on the internet. Before the Lord, I don't feel that this is my responsibility. However, if some of you feel strongly that you need to confront LSM for what happened in the 80's because the Lord has called you to do so, go ahead. I am not stopping you.
In the first place, they are more than just publishers. They are leaders of the movement you identify with.

In the second place, it isn't just about what went on in the 80s. It's what has gone on this decade and is still going on. I'm not talking about a little doctrinal error or attitudinal problem. I'm talking about seriously damaging lives.

As long as you identify with the movement that LSM and the BBs lead, your silence is consent. Now, you might say you have no other way. But that doesn't change the fact that your are implicitly giving consent. It's just a fact your are going to have to deal with. Right now it just seems you are compartmentalizing it.

I sympathize. I'm not trying to condemn you. But I wouldn't be honest if I didn't tell you there is some inconsistency there.
