I guess it was the spring, maybe April of 2019, a couple named Greg and Joanna Casteel from Tennessee posted an open letter on facebook. "Dear saints in the Lord's Recovery..." Jo grew up in the LC, I think Greg joined in HS or college. They both went through the Full Time Training in Anaheim, and became "working saints" or "community saints" after the training. And then things just got weirder and weirder. They read the Bible, apart from the "interpreted word", and it looked more and more discordant, what they were seeing in the "church life". So they searched online, found out about Daystar, and Philip Lee, and sexual abuse covered over in the LC, and said, "No thanks".
LSM called a special meeting of FTT graduates at the summer training, telling them, "Don't read the letter! It is poison!" etc. All the leaders of the LC were alarmed, making speeches, threatening that the earth would swallow these rebels up. The LC had to start a whole new website, "Shepherding Words.com" to address (or obfuscate) the stuff that the Casteels brought up.
The reaction from LSM leadership to one couple posting on facebook, really shows what kind of realm they were living in.... everyone's like, "NOOOOO!!!!!!" Talk about living in a bubble. The slightest bit of light and just like Dracula - shrieking and waving wildly as the body ossifies and crumbles.
