So I had actually met and spoken briefly with Ingalls at conferences but not Lee. I have always tended to believe Ingalls' account because based on my limited knowledge of Ingalls, I find him credible. But, it's a judgment call based on limited information, so I can't be certain.

Anyway, I left the LC movement because the leaders made unacceptable claims of authority on me not because of gossip that occurred off stage from where I am. It wouldn't surprise me if the leadership sinned since I personally witnessed them doing questionable things and I sin myself. Therefore, I will meet them on a level playing field as equals. But, I don't recognize their ecclesiastical authority over me. They are single individuals as am I. So, now I have brought the thread back to the OP topic.

Thanks for your post Zeek. I have placed in bold what I identify with.
