And then he said that since 1945 he has been watching to see if anyone else could speak God’s word as God’s oracle. He could find none.

"Whether you are for me or not, I know; I know everything. I know what restaurant you were eating in,
what day, and with whom. I have a lot of colleagues who write me long records of ten to twenty pages about you."

"I don’t care for the loss of any church. Even if the entire U. S. A. is closed to me I don’t care.
I only care for ten to twenty faithful ones meeting together to practice the truth."

Apparently the scales had finally fallen off of the eyes of dear brother Ingalls. He finally saw Witness Lee for who he really was. At a later date John admitted that a number of older brothers from Lee's earlier days in China and Taiwan had warned him about this side of Lee - the REAL Witness Lee. Better late than never, brother John, better late than never........

"Now I would ask, are these the words of a sober man, the words of a spiritual man, a man of God? To me it is shocking to hear him speak this way, for he has indeed been used of God in the past to speak His Word. But to vindicate oneself so blatantly and boastfully indicates to me a fall. May the Lord have mercy on us all."

And yet..... Brother John Ingalls said in the same breath with above:

“Before the conference began a report came to us that a flyer had been printed and would be placed on the windshields of all the cars of those attending the conference in Pasadena. On the flyer, we were told, some sinful disorders were mentioned. We fully disapproved of such action. Not knowing who authorized or printed them or who intended to distribute them, but knowing a couple of brothers who we thought might be aware of it, we called them and urged them to do whatever they could to stop the distribution. It seems that our word was heeded, at least to some extent, for no flyers were distributed at the conference. We discovered later, however, that they were put on some cars in the Anaheim meeting hall parking lot. Such acts we believe to be of the flesh and not the way to protest wrongdoing. Some time later, after the conference, we obtained a copy of the flyer. It was entitled Significant Dates in the History of the Church in Anaheim.”

When posters here refer to the “sinful disorders “ that occurred, it is the equivalent of putting those flyers on the windshield of cars.... rather it is worse as is it like spray painting the content of the flyer on someone’s windshield... and in the words of Brother John it is an act of the flesh. It is even more disturbing that posters who commit these acts of the flesh will invoke Brother Johns name in total disregard and disrespect for his feelings against those flyers and his vocal objection to that way of protesting wrongdoing.

Those are my two objections.
