Like Witness Lee and maybe some other coworkers, this prior Bellevue elder (last I knew was in Sao Paulo), was equally strong and absolute in his speaking. So certain was his speaking in the letter that Steve Isitt was the one in error. There is not the consideration "what if"? What if the blendeds are the ones in error? What if the elder writing the letter had been fed half-truths and misrepresentations?
This is what I believe has happened to many a local church elder. They have been deceived and in turn lead many a local church into deception. Not once has there been any indication there's another possibility to consider. Completely closed. To consider anything different than the reality LSM presents would indicate brothers who are not quite "absolute for the ministry" as claiming to be.
