That's exactly the nonchalant attitude LCers take when corruption at LSM gets exposed. "Nobody's perfect, eh?" Many of us trusted Witness Lee for many years, through hell and high water, because we were led to believe that he lived a servant's life as the Apostle Paul did. Then one day we happened to learn the proverbial "rest of the story." So, it's no wonder when long-time members suddenly learn the behind-the-scenes truth, and are immediately "poisoned" as loyalists like to say.

I think you would have to add, "and oh by the way, you have noticed that there has been a lot of withdrawals from our savings account, well that was to support some children I had"
