LCers will tell themselves that they are the remnant, the chosen few willing to pay the price. But in fact, they didn't pay the price. Paying the price would have meant being willing to be completely honest about everything and live with the consequences.

Recently I have been in touch with a few old friends who expressed an interest in attending Ron Kangas' pending conference in Cleveland. They would say that they paid a hefty price to pursue the Lord in the LC's. But, since they were not remotely involved with the activities in Anaheim, they would disagree that they have any responsibility to dig into those details or make them known. They also would say that it is all about "the message" and not the man, since Lee is dead.
Ironically, it now seems to be LSM which stresses Christ, the word, and the LC's, while life under the direction of TC in Cleveland has become all about "The Work." Quite a reversal from the rhetoric of the past.
