He spoke publicly about it, but then when it didn't work out, he would shell up and claim how he needed only a few people who were loyal to him.

So what if all the saints who were out doing BFA activities or working on campuses, knew what WL said: "I only care for ten to twenty faithful ones meeting together to practice the truth." Statements like that pretty much negate the value of any gospel work people in the LC are doing.

It's heartening that they are self defeating.
