Ingalls, Knoch, and Godfred put out 16 Points which delineated those deviations from the truth, and the direction which the church should take. Those Points should be in
STTIL.
The saints in Anaheim responded positively to these, except for the WL adulators. These were never intended to be personal attacks, rather items of the truth, spoken in love, to reform and correct that which had deviated from the truth, the "vision." Didn't Witness Lee often tell others, "if I deviate from God's economy, do not follow me?" Immediately, however, the Blended toadies proclaimed these Points as a direct attack on WL and his ministry. "
They're negative poison, don't even read them!"
I believe that these Points posted by the Anaheim elders were more dangerous to WL/LSM than the Philip Lee alleged rape allegations. John Ingalls by this time knew that these points basically were his "Recovery" suicide, yet he stood fast on his convictions. Had this been the Dark Ages, he would have been burned at the stake like William Tyndale or John Huss.
