I had heard the same of other localities (Eugene, Oregon for one). To send back any unsold publication was a personal insult to Phillip Lee and future publications would be withheld until an "apology" was made. One locality I was in, there was a designated brother or brother(s) who were the only ones authorized to speak with with Phillip as he was reputed to be volatile and easily offended.
Elden1971, are you suggesting the church in Denver sending back the shipment precipitated the entire locality being quarantined and Witness Lee sending Gene Gruhler to Denver in it's aftermath?
