When I first heard this "
get out of your minds" stuff back in the mid-70's, it was presented to us as "don't sweat the small stuff," or would you please "stop nit-picking" every little thing. At least all the brothers and sisters I knew would echo my sentiments. No one would consider this an instruction to ignore our conscience in light of some criminal cover up. Little did we know.
But Titus Chu knew. And that's one of the issues I have with him. (
The other issue was how he shamed, manipulated, and controlled the brothers.) It was always said in the GLA, that Titus was an "umbrella" to protect us from some of the crazer things that went on at LSM. For some reason, I and others considered that a good thing.
What were we thinking? It was
not a good thing!
Titus, for some reason, was thus often an enabler, and in some cases complicit in a criminal conspiracy, and here I'm thinking about what
Norm posted when he and
Toledo were asked by Titus to review Benson Philip's official quarantine letter to John Ingalls. The rest of us in the GLA were kept in the dark from knowing the true nature of Lee and Son, who owned and managed LSM.

I now agree with this.
