DCP confirms that Daystar was ostensibly created to fund the gospel outreach and support church work. But many who were there knew the role of WL's immediate family, and their initiation of and direct benefit from the company. Yet DCP never mentions this, whilst repeatedly touting what it calls "facts". To me this shows deliberate misrepresentation. They push some facts, and hide others, and try to skew the truth to minimize damage caused by this long-hidden fiasco recently coming to light.
Notice how they have nothing to say about Timothy Lee or Phillip Lee, but when it comes to anyone who has spoke out, the DCP is more than happy to reference an article about how that person served jail time.
Even when they're forced to address something, they try to evade.

In their Daystar article, they also go on the attack against one of the people who spoke up about what happened. It's a classic example of an ad hominem attack.
People should take note that they make no attempt to address the issues of Timothy Lee or Phillip Lee. Instead, they make reference to an article about how one of the people who spoke up served jail time (for something completely unrelated).
The whole issue with something like Daystar is LC members donated their money, and then it was suddenly gone without explanation. Yes, it was a 'mistake' but more than that, there was never any attempt to really make things right. It has been said that when WL was questioned as to what went so terribly wrong with Daystar, his answer was that the saints have "
now lost their virginity."
WL's answer speaks for itself. He admitted that he did something wrong without really admitting to anything more. If the LC can't come clean about this kind of stuff, then they need to stop trying to figure out why people don't trust them.
