When WL said, "People change", he also could refer to definitions, or usage, which also changes over time. "Fellowship" could mean one thing at one time, and something else later. The idea that "We talked" could at one point be expressed by the word 'fellowship', and later, the phrase "I told him/her/them what to do" could also be expressed by the word 'fellowship'. So the meaning could have changed, and Sandee found out too late.
In a group like this, a word or phrase has whatever meaning the Maximum Leader wants it to have at that time. In some sense it's complicated, as words shift meanings, unexpectedly. On the other hand it's simple: things mean whatever the Maximum Leader says they mean today. When the wind shifts, you don't want to be on the wrong side of the new meaning.
