Kind of sounds like present day America. Instead of believing news reports, go straight to the source. Easier in LC circles to do that sort of thing.
I'm always grateful for "Indiana"'s labor. Ones like Indiana and ourselves were supposed to believe the report LSM gave on the turmoils, rebellions, etc. Then Indiana goes an interviews many former elders and co-workers nearly 20 years ago. Oh, the current LC elders get all bent out of shape for Indiana speaking to these former LC elders. Is there something to hide for seeking the truth?
Though ones like John Ingalls had been out of the LC prior to his passing, the smear campaign against him was unrelenting.
This account was quite touching to me personally. The summer before my uncle passed (a LC responsible brother for many years) my sons and I had lunch with my uncle and aunt. Out of the blue they were reminiscing of their time with John Ingalls in South Africa.
How is it there is such strong feelings towards ones who leave the local churches? My conclusion is an absence of grace.
