Thank you. I would consider it a great insult to think that my 20 years in the LRC was nothing but a big con.
One important reason I spend time on this forum is to deconstruct what happened, particularly how to understand WL.
Some consider him to be the "Minister of the Age"
I consider him to be a "False Teacher"
but although that is a wide range, I have yet to see any compelling argument to be made that he was a "Con Man". Yes, DayStar in my opinion was fraud, and that fraud was perpetrated by WL, hence you could say that he "conned" the saints. Yes, he probably was involved in several cons. Even so, I think it is much more illuminating to refer to him as a "false teacher" similar to Balaam, than to call him a con man similar to Elmer Gantry.
