Okay, I'm open (or at least as open as I know how). I can answer "yes" to points 1 and 2 with no problem. Points 3 and 4 are more problematic. I don't think it has yet been established that I have been deceived.
You can tell me all about the terrible things WL did or may have done, but how does that apply to me? I never thought he was the Vicar of Christ on Earth. That belongs to the LSM brothers.
For me WL was a bible teacher, and a frankly pretty good one. But my experience in the church life revolved around Christ, and the saints who were with me. What is it that I am supposed to be deceived about...?
I very much appreciate Ms. Penn-Lewis, but I am not sure how to apply this portion of her ministry to my life.
Best,
