But why? He seems to be happy to just be a moo cow. I just wonder if Lee took HIS virginity???? What say ye, bro Drake, did you loose money on Daystar? Or did you, like me, not believe Lee's pitch for it?

Drake came to the LC about the same time (~mid-70's) I did, so both of us were post-Daystar. Even the Daystar cleanup efforts were mostly done by then, and many damaged saints had left. TC in Cleveland told all the brothers (
perhaps he believed what he was told?) in the Midwest that "
all Daystar investors were properly reimbursed." We know that was not true.
Drake has decided to no longer respond to my posts (
a quarantined persona non grata) because I am an "embittered ex-member" who constantly brings up past behaviors by Lee, his sons, and LSM. I have become convinced of two things --
first, that stumbled former members must learn to forgive, and
second, that existing members must take responsibility for past actions, and repent.
So far, Drake is only willing to admit that "
mistakes were made." This is merely a 2 cent apology for a $100 dollar crime. He is not even willing to say what these "mistakes" were, or even what qualifies as a "mistake." And then he wonders why this forum even exists. So I continue to engage him, and challenge him at times, so that the deceptions employed by LSM are not used here also.
The demands that we "
forgive and forget" our past pains and hurts in the LC are not warranted by scripture. We must forgive, yet the Bible never commands us to forget. We must forgive others as Christ has forgiven us, yet those experiences should also be used to safeguard others from the same dangers we faced.
