For the record, we in Greater Ohio were much influenced by Titus Chu, who made it a habit of
never criticizing other Christians, other churches, or Christianity in general. Our local church leadership actively practiced the same. It was only when some of our members would hear those from LSM that these bigoted characterizations about the greater body of Christ would emerge in their testimonies or "prophecies."
In public Titus Chu would regularly criticize his own church, the church in Cleveland, (he never seemed to have anything nice to say about them,) or target individual brothers. He also used coded words to often blast the Blendeds, a favorite hobby of his.
