How about where he referred to the footnote's promotion of local churches not having any individual distinctiveness as "crazytown" - was that also well said & factual, and if not, why?

Lest readers think I'm merely trying to score debate points against a rival, I'd say rather that it's about ideas. Good ideas help us on our way & bad ideas hinder. I know families that split up, with parents going with the Dong-ites and children with LSM in Anaheim. The only "truth" that mattered was, "Who are you with?" Everyone felt maligned and persecuted by the other.

And behind it all was flawed assumptions and teachings, uncritically received. Ignorance and fervor is a bad mix.
