Maybe we will get some “shepherding words” on this. I’m serious. I would like to hear whatever explanation they have. Maybe Minrou will come out here and explain?

My thought is that if Minoru is speaking at the semi-annual trainings, he is one of the blendeds, but of course, the co-workers just posted an article that says it's an "absurd notion" to ask for the names of the co-workers, so they would probably call it absurd to ask to know who is a "blended" too.
I would say Minoru is the worst at waxing poetic in every meeting about "our brother". The others mention Lee a lot too, but Minoru seems to be the most egregious at starting a lot of messages with Witness Lee before turning to the actual outline at hand.
Minoru says that he is full of Lee's spirit in the first ~50 seconds of the video. If you turn it up you can hear a few people saying amen, but it doesn't sound like many. (No one said anything contrary, though, of course.)
I think Unregistered's post was more saying that Minoru has been like this for a while. I don't think Unreg was saying they don't have a problem with it, just that Minoru presents himself well as polished, well-spoken, and intelligent. And if Minoru says something, he means it. Minoru knows how to charm an undiscerning crowd.
The shepherdingwords guys seems to be keeping an eye on what is being posted around the internet. Hopefully they will address Minoru's eye-raiser, but we know they will just defend it tooth and nail and blame anyone who has a problem with it, rather than being honest about how off the wall it is.
