That brother was Ron Kangas. He felt so strongly about it that he cried on the phone.
I recently saw a video of him speaking and noticed that he's picked up some Lee affectations. So I doubt very much if he'd accept me if I disliked Nee and Lee.
Back to you brother. I was wondering about the locality you're in. That makes a difference. Some localities are poor, poor, and some not.
I came in in the Santa Cruz Cal. locality. That was a wonderful locality. Then Kangas and the other elders talked me into coming to the c. in Detroit, where bro zeek came in. Except for Kangas, that turned out to be a nightmare. I really liked Ron.
Then Lee ordered a migration of 5 localities to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (to get the Spring Breakers, that was the hot spot back then) and it was down hill from there.
Actually, in the end, it was the best thing ever, as it ended with me no longer being in the LC. Thanks Mel Porter. You done me a solid. I had no choice. I wasn't ever going to be able to take your personality as my own.
The c. in Ft. Lauderdale was an example of poor, poor, Christianity. And so was the c. in Detroit -- now's there 2 of them, one an LSM c. in Detroit, and the other is the leftover of the Kangas locality. Which one is poor? As usual, LSM decides.
And the c. in Santa Cruz? Like the c. in Ft. Lauderdale, it's no longer there. It was started by a brother that was at odds with Lee, so it had to be poor, poor, too ... as is all localities not loyal to Lee and Co.
Thanks bro Drake ...
