Bradley, I am sorrowful for your experiences. Something I've said consistently is "there's two sides to a coin". The leading brothers only want one side of the coin to be viewed; that from a pro-LSM perspective. The other side of the coin is contrary to LSM and is viewed unfavorably because brothers and sisters would demand accountability just as brothers and sisters from the Mars Hill Churches demanded from Mark Driscoll. That's why the term poison been utilized ever since I was a child in the 1970's in the local churches.
