So what did we learn from sister Donnali? That the girls/women who posed with Daystar vehicles were not in scanty bikinis but were modestly dressed. Surprise, surprise. I would have expected as much. Local church "sisters" in unbecoming poses would have been unthinkable.

The vehicles were sold for $40,000, not $70,000. But $40,000 in 1972 dollars is about $70,000 today. Horrifically expensive. Soak-the-rich vehicles. These were not for the average Joe and Jane.

Timothy Lee didn't live an extravagant lifestyle. Not shocking, really. His father didn't either. Neither of which validates either the ministry of the father or the business of the son.

And that's about it, by my reckoning. Nothing that balances or mitigates in any way the disaster that Daystar was. The Lord blew on it, and it collapsed, Donnali wrote. How about "And the wind blew, and the rain fell, and the house collapsed, and the fall of it was great"? Does that connect in any way.

Witness Lee said Daystar was a cancer on the Body of Christ. Why did our defenses get let down that a ministry could seed the Body with cancerous tumors (unchecked growths that choke the Body)? One problem about cancer is that it gets by the natural "killer" t cells and gets fed like normal body parts. But it grows until it chokes off the windpipe or blood vessels or internal organ functions. Then the whole thing dies. Again, "The fall thereof was great". Anything in her testimony that mitigates this assessment?
