We don't need to make anyone out to be a monster to point out the result of their work is monstrous.
When I was in the LR (some family still is faithfully there), I got to know DCP principals personally. Themselves, their families. I got to know their heart for saints and sinners and saw many evidences of grace on many occasions. The ones I knew were the kinds of people you'd want as neighbors and would rejoice if they were personally looking after a loved one.
But there's something that happens when one has what I call "Cause Blindness." When one's devotion to a cause (of any kind) is so absolute it causes one to put aside personal convictions and character in service to The Cause, people do things, say things, and write things to "protect" The Cause that they would not even allow themselves to do to protect themselves from critique. And when The Cause is "God's Move on Earth Today," well... Good luck seeing through that!
Rather than demonize the individuals, I think it is more helpful to shine the light of truth on the work the group does. One doesn't have to be evil to err; just human.
