Old News
As I said, I haven't seen the forum for a few weeks and my last response was based on the third page of this thread, that I thought was the latest response; sorry for missing the latest comments!
I do think that there can be an understanding offered to TJ and Matt in Toledo's experience (which was my experience also) that we all were not in the inner circle choosing who stays and who goes.
We also were not asked to go against God's will in commands from WL; we were pretty much just reading the material. If the ones who keep asking were we for or against the quarantining of John Ingalls and the others would just consider most of the LC's were reading the ministry of WL and attending (sometimes) trainings when possible.
Yes, there were encouragements to attend every training wherever possible, but when some didn't, it wasn't the end of the road for them (I was only able to make it for one live training: Daniel Zech.) and the rest: video trainings, when I could.
As such we were mostly like other Chrisitian groups who carried the "we are it" assumptions a little too far and are now learning how to recieve our brothers and sisters with grace and not superiority over them. Yet I cannot discard some of the helps I have received and am now in the process with your help, in redefining the ministry I have received and how I can apply this ministry to the benefit of others.
