I decided to leave during the turmoil LSM inflicted on all the Midwest LC's. They came into nearly every LC and divided them. We all had to choose whether we were of Lee/Blendeds or of Titus Chu. I decided I was of neither and, upon learning much of the hidden history of the LCM, felt it was time.
It became readily apparent that two ministries were battling for power, and all the LC's were the spoils of war. Mansfield and Columbus were the only existing LC which lost everything to LSMers, when they filed lawsuits. My place had to enact new by-laws and hold elections to prevent LSM's surrogates from seizing church assets.
Many families were divided by LSM's actions. Most sided with Cleveland, but many sided with Anaheim, and many like me called it quits. We now had two LC's in every city standing on the ground of oneness. What a farce! Part of the lawsuits were to seize control of the franchise name "church in Mansfield."
As has been said, "
tell me again about that church with no name that went to court to sue for rights to their name."
