Default Re: The Ministry Becomes the Lampstand

Not sure if you mean "same type of spin..." If so, then yes it was the same sort of thing with the notable difference that Max Rapoport and the coworkers in the late 1980s were scapegoated and publicly ousted. In these other incidences people were just moved around with a big "spiritual" story to tell people while the real reasons were kept hush hush.

There are many examples but two more come immediately to mind of this sort of thing:

1. A coworker in southern California who became outspoken to other elders and coworkers about Philip Lee's involvement in LSM being a problem was sent to a small church in another part of the country. It was so sudden and the contrast from where he was to where he was sent was so vivid it raised many eyebrows and of course there was a story to go along with it i.e he was burdened from the Lord, etc. (This occurred after Max incident and before late 1980's.)

2. A coworker from southern California was sent to a church on the east coast. He and an elder already there could not get along. Eventually it was impossible for them to work together so he was sent to another city because "the Lord burdened him to migrate for His move on the earth, etc." (This occurred before Max incident.)
