In other words, people still in the LC who have already read these writings have already made their own decisions about it (at least for now).

Very true,
Freedom. Each of us responds differently to the same info.
I read John Ingalls' account
STTIL and I immediately lost respect for WL. That was 2005, I found it on the old Bereans forum. Prior to that, TC had slowly eroded away my respect for most of the Blendeds. I remember my own conclusions after reading
STTIL. I could forgive Daystar. I could not accept the coverups of Philip Lee's abuse and debauchery. But what really upset me was the wholesale smear campaign of all those like JI who attempted to protect the saints from this abuse.
But one brother, who helped my departure, later went back to the LC on the LSM side. I was somewhat surprised by this move since he also had read JI's account. His justification for returning: he said that the workers at LSM had always treated him well.
Well of course! They just stole one of TC's most gifted co-workers.
