I am glad you got it. I thought I was pretty clear the first time around.
Here is Lee's plea for exemption:

But when a good meal is being prepared, the kitchen will not be so orderly. If everything in the church is neat and orderly, this may indicate that no one is doing any cooking. This means that there is a shortage in the process of sanctification. I can testify that the kitchen of the church in Anaheim is messy. This proves that in Anaheim we are in the process of sanctification."

Lee wanted to peer in everyone's messy kitchen, but for you to forgive his. I think the above was spoken shortly after his "unspiritual chef" was caught for the second time, molesting the help.
The other thing Lee did to argue for exemption was to say that "God sees no iniquity in Isarael"; in contrast to "Christianity" which of course was under condemnation.
Like I said, shadows and turnings. You probably couldn't give this stuff away, but if you print it, bind it and sell it, you can make some money.
