I agree with you. What I have done is only partial. The goal as you said is to to examine the evidence from various perspective,
possibly from eyewitnesses of the things that happened at the time of the split (W. Kelly, too). I already confessed that my "history", as you noticed comes from the Exclusive Brethren. So to really test all things I would be grateful if someone could provide links to any materials written by Newton, Muller or others who were involved at that time. I will suspend any definite judgement until I get the other side from eyewitnesses.
"Back in 2003-06 I read everything I could find on the Brethren in an attempt to understand what was happening to us in the Recovery. By then it became apparent that the Blendeds were going to quarantine the GLA." (Ohio)
I hope you will not be offended br. Ohio, but when I read about the split between Darby and Newton I didn't try to project their history in my church situation, neither I tried to understand what was happening to us (you) in the Recovery. I didn't see Darby as W. Lee or the BB, ascribing to Darby all the negative things the saints in GLA might have found in them.
