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?

These are some good points. It’s not too difficult to understand why the attitude develops of “choosing to see no iniquity in Israel”. I was definitely of that mindset in the past, and I thought that because the LC was something special, it made it okay to ignore concerns. One of the big issues is, of course, the double standard that Lee applied. He could criticize anyone he chose, but when the criticism was directed at him, all the sudden, it became unacceptable.
