You probably don't realize it and may never because the offenses you mentioned and still apparently harbor that occurred in your patch decades ago have become part of your constitution molding and framing the way you think about those things, your perceptions, and how you rationalize your beliefs. In short, those offenses apparently were not dealt with and therefore, it is perfectly consistent in your mind to write about forgiving and yet not forgive, to teach that every member has its place and yet dismissing the place of the local churches and their members, to call for a heart for understanding yet exercising a spirit of judgement, condemnation, and incessant criticism to use your terms.

And yet the most obvious idolatry you will not condemn. You will not draw a line that condemns the idolatry in the Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church, and others like them.

Those are examples of your use of different weights and measures.

To follow up with Drake's "logic" here, think about how Witness Lee harbored offenses against those in Christianity for 70 years after he left those poor people. Then he told myriads of us "moo cows" again and again just how pitiful they all were in almost every one of his messages.
