But I am curious, why you did not discuss with Ed as an acquaintance since you had a history? He apparently considered there to be some basis since he spent time discussing his feelings about the situation with you.

I don't understand the question. I talked with him for about 10 minutes. He then excused himself to go to the meeting in the elder's room.
We were in a room with about 30 - 40 people, including my son. Yet my son at the next table did not hear a word of our conversation. The tone and attitude was respectful and neither of us raised our voices.
I began by introducing myself lest he did not recognize me (I had not seen him in 30 years).
As for my "angst". I was not in any way affected by the sins of PL nor was I affected by Ed's apology letter which I had just recently learned about close to 30 years later. I had heard from those on this forum about it but thought it fair to give Ed a chance to respond.
Likewise I had no issue with the elders in NY. They were the ones that sent me to Taipei. I lived with brother James for years when I was at Dunton House (he stayed there on the weekends). I knew that he had expressed deep revulsion at PL, and he was the one that first informed me of PL's sins.
Nope, my angst developed afterwards when I realized people I had known for years, and a ministry that I had served for many years were behaving in this way.
