I remember my takeaway finding and reading brother Bill's letter as I departed the program: WL demands loyalty over righteousness, and those who treasure a good conscience before God will always be expelled.

The case of Bill Mallon during the "New Way" movement of the late '80's is a textbook example of the real operation of the Lee family. All personal character and integrity must be sacrificed for unwavering loyalty. Bill Mallon believed that he could appeal to WL's godly sense of decency, uprightness, and honesty to right a wrong. Bill appealed to his personal relationship with WL and his perceived sense of righteousness as an elderly Christian minister.

Brother Mallon found out the hard way how very wrong was his impression of WL and his circle of co-workers. Lee threw Mallon under the bus, making him and John Ingalls into historic examples of what a true MOTA was all about. In so doing, Lee violated every spiritual principle he ever taught from the podium.
