It's interesting that WL always interpreted things to mean you should come to or stay in his movement.
"Come out of her my people." To what? The Recovery, of course!
Then he twisted your correct teaching above to mean that you should stay in one of his churches through thick and thin, and no matter how much like "her" they became.
A self-serving double-standard? Well, yeah. But what traction that mindset has.
