I'm asking because I'm wondering how many stayed in the LRC even after learning about Philip. In other words, I guess, when WL put Philip in charge did many know about his debauchery?
I was long gone by then. How widespread in the LC's was the knowledge of Philip's degeneracy?

In some localities elders who were willing to bury their head in the sand, shielded their congregations from the fiasco happening in Anaheim.
From firsthand knowledge Phillip's degenerate behavior is regarded as rumors.
All the readers really need to know how LSM was able to keep a lid on the Phillip Lee scandal is read Isaiah 5:20
"
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!"
Having this understanding you will see truth is substituted for falsehood and falsehood is substituted for truth.
SO, brothers and sisters accept what they are told as truth. It's like this, Witness Lee and the ones doing his bidding (some of which are known as blended brothers) pass a lie as being truth. The local elders don't know any better. Out of respect, they have no reason to doubt so they unwittingly pass on lie's to their congregations as being true. Brothers and sisters in the congregations respect their elders and see no reason why their elders would lie to them. As a result you have seeking brothers and sisters who go by what "the brother's say".
