I am glad sister Donalli is not reading this, because I don't want to disturb her walk in the light. But someone needs to point out the obvious, that if they had dealt with 1st hand information in the LC, there wouldn't be any need to deal with 2nd hand, 3rd hand, or 4th hand information.
Why do you think we're gleaning 5th hand info about WL's business dealings in the Far East, pre-Daystar? Perhaps because those who knew, kept their mouths shut, and watched the whole thing unfold AGAIN with unsuspecting American "investors"?
And, how many "Congregational Church Discussion Forums" do you see, where anonymous members are posting about Pastor so-and-so? No? Why not? Maybe because in the Congregational Church they come together and discuss things face to face, and resolve them to everyone's satisfaction, what? Like normal, well-adjusted adult human beings. Talk about practicing truth, and walking in light. Keep a short account, people. Don't pretend that your account doesn't exist.
"I'm proud to be an ostrich with my head stuck in the sand". That's the best quote I heard, from one of the Blendeds. It just about sums up the whole business, Daystar and all.

No palace intrigue in the community church in Renton? How can this be? No rebellions, no storms and turmoils? No whispers of "ambitious brothers" usurping the crown of God's humble Bondslave? What kind of a 'normal' church is that????

And she'd be on the street so fast that her head would spin. There's no mechanism in the LC to deal with offenses. It is all about pretense - pretend they don't exist, and/or "Take the cross". And those whose consciences are bothered, and try to address wrongs directly are expunged from the LC community as "rebels", and then expunged from LC narrative. They pretend that the "negative ones" don't exist.
