Of course they were aware! Philip Lee's conduct was an open secret in The Church in Anaheim (more or less as a whole) and in Irving for those who worked at LSM.
But who played whom? Knowing that Benson Phillips since he was a young man dreamed of being the head of an international ministry leads me to believe that he and those in tow from Texas may have been playing the Lee's to insinuate and manipulate themselves into ultimately running LSM. If one has the ambition but not the wherewithal or personality to create an international ministry from scratch (Benson Phillips) one might be willing to tolerate and cover up for a guy like Philip Lee to appease his dad and gain control of the desired position. In other words without the prize of running LSM as a realistic outcome could Benson & Co really stomach the behavior and abuse of Philip Lee? Doubtful IMHO. They played daddy & son to get what they wanted!
