Ohio, I am familiar with the threads where this was discussed previously.

What I was wondering about was where you said this: "Today TC has little left of his vast empire. The number of brothers who still look up to him is dwindling."

The excommunication of TC happened a number of years ago. What's the situation now?

Is there still a large group of "full-timers" who go to Cleveland every month or so to receive direction? Or has that been discontinued? Does TC still maintain a publishing work, and is it given any credibility?

Among the Midwest churches who left the control of LSM/Anaheim, are they still in fellowship with one another, or are they exercising independence (including from Cleveland)?

I'm asking because I'm truly curious. I don't know what the situation is there anymore. I remember the conflict between TC and the Blended Brothers, but a lot of time has passed since then. The impression I got from your post about TC's empire is that things have kind of splintered in the Midwest. So again, could you say more, not about the events leading up to the excommunication, but about the years since then? You've mentioned that the elders in your locality were subservient to TC. Is that still the case?

Also, are the Midwest "saints" still reading TC's messages, and attending his conferences, or is there a lack of interest? Has there been an acknowledgement that TC was himself part of the problem for all those years when Lee was in control?

You get the gist. What's going on now? Has the outcome of the excommunication been good for the Midwest, or are the churches still stagnating while they claim the "local ground"?
