I'm glad he taped the call because the litigious Living Stream Ministry has concealed and possibly destroyed records of its true history.

I dont hear that at all zeek..... Sal said he was calling in an honest way, then he pulls an Omarosa... He goes off on a rant demanding to know about a loan Newton made, Brother Lee tells him and he still acts like he needs to know more.. it was a loan for crying out loud....., then he asks if Living Stream donated any money for the profit businesses and Brother Lee tells him that LSM gave money to the churches to pay off loans for the defunct Daystar..... so what is to complain about that?
Zeek, Brother Lee was right that it was none of Sal's business but because Sal appealed to know as a responsible one in Newton and a brother then Brother Lee listened and answered, or tried to answer while Sal constantly talked over Brother Lee's answers and it was apparent that he had no interest in understanding Brother Lee's viewpoint, rather he wanted to make points for the recording and he would often say something that Brother Lee did not say...
Ironically, Sal gives credit to Brother Lee for almost everything good that happened in his christian life.... how Brother Lee had raised him, etc. he says he wants to walk upright while still recording this without Brother Lee's knowledge... and then Brother Lee offers to fellowship with him about other matters but then Sal's real motive rears its ugly head.... he accuses Brother Lee of criminal activity.... conversation over and Sal thinks it is funny.
Sorry zeek, this was a dishonest call on Sal's part, he wanted to accues Brother Lee and took 26 minutes to work his way around it...
