I was this way myself, since I spent my best 30 years in the Recovery, so I can readily understand this dear brother quite well.
But let's look at what we can conclude from what Steve's friend has told us ...
- Lee has convinced us that only his ministry is for the "building up of the body of Christ"
- Lee convinced us that only his ministry was "fresh meat to eat"
- Why is it that Lee could regularly condemn all of Christianity, and no one dared to challenge him about eating all the "bones and feathers" there?
- How did Lee ever convince us that it was OK to constantly "see iniquity" in the body of Christ, but not in his Recovery?

Good points Ohio. And, as UntoHim says, they only know to defend the indefensible. This, in fact, is how they are trained. But Jerry is a brother who did concede a bit after his first email.
Jerry's first email 2010
"I asked Sherman about you and your history in the church in this area. I was appalled to find out
that you have not only written one book (which I knew about but never read), but also that you
maintain two websites full of slander regarding the Lord’s Recovery, and specifically regarding
at least eight coworkers and several elders.
"Hearing about evidence such as a nearly two inch stack of emails that you wrote regarding Joel
Kennon, and the fact that you maintain much contact with ones who oppose the Lord’s Recovery
such as John Ingalls, leaves me no alternative but to discontinue my contact with you.
"Regardless of what new ones you want to introduce to me, there is no way I can have fellowship
with you.
Your behavior is divisive, and you have not shown any willingness to repent. If you
reply that these facts are not true, then I’ll only believe that after you’ve taken down your
slanderous web sites and come face to face with Sherman and Joel and the other elders in Seattle
and Bellevue and retract the materials you have written. [
My emphasis]
"You told me that you want to be allowed to fellowship with the church in Bellevue, yet
your actions tell another story. I have given the Lord and His Recovery thirty seven years of my
life, and there is no other life I desire to live. Don’t bother sending me any more emails. I’m
just going to delete them anyways.

"Jerry admitted that he had not read my writings before sending me that email. When we again met – sovereignly - four months later, I confronted him about his email. He had read some of my material by this time and within minutes offered an apology to me for his rush to judgment in his email, and said, “I don’t know; I just don’t know”. That is true. Without thorough investigation, no one, including the leaders know."
"Still your brother in Christ,
