Sister Jo Casteel was a medical professional. She has an oath that demands that she report such abuses. She was condemned and branded by LSM for simply doing her duty.
This is why those who remain in the LC, especially in some responsibility, must learn to silence the voice of their conscience and close off their minds to such conflicts which create cognitive dissonance.
Apostle Paul, however, publicly declared that he had always exercised a good conscience. He obeyed and pleased God rather than man. Thus he admonished Timothy to "hold faith and a good conscience," warning about others who had become "shipwrecked."
History tells us many who lead religious organizations have readily fooled their followers, yet they themselves are shipwrecked concerning the faith, having never repented. LSM leaders regularly point out such in Christianity, but they should look in the mirror.
