Of course for them it's much easier to believe a lie than to be told the truth. They simply don't want to be faced with the dilemma, "I gave my Christian life for this". That's not going to happen. Can you imagine the disillusion finding out there was intentional financial mismanagement? Truth is too horrible to accept. Better to go on like an ostrich with it's head in the sand.

In the LC, I encountered situations multiple times where someone went so far as to acknowledge some problem or admit that a situation wasn't right, but that was the extent of concern. The next move was always to shrug it off with statements like "nobody's perfect."
It is like you say, I think a lot of people in the LC just can't imagine having to make the decision to leave the LC or get kicked out. If a situation has one of those potential 'consequences', then they will do everything they can do to ignore the situation.
