This false doctrine asserts that only the MOTA can blow the one trumpet, since he is the Commander-In-Chief of the Lord's army, and the trumpet is a call to battle.
When LSM decided to file a lawsuit against Heritage House Publishers, which they eventually and shamefully took to the SCOTUS, Titus Chu influenced the GLA LC's not to get on board. That made him a marked man. The Blendeds had blown the trumpet, and wanted to go to "war," and he declined.
Later on, however, as the litigation expenses mounted, TC did instruct my LC, already financially strapped, to send a monthly check to DCP. Was that an appeasement or perhaps blackmail, whatever it was, it was a change in policy. The same goes for TC's support of the La Palma purchase.
