I heard this stuff for years. So predictable:
- Bad things happen to ex-members -- See how the Lord is judging them!
- Bad things happen to current members -- see how the Enemy attacks us!
I would point you to three of the most distinguished patterns of suffering the Bible has ever presented: Job, Jesus, and Paul. There are long chapters dedicated to their trials, sufferings, misfortunes, etc. Read their stories again. Each of them was soundly condemned by all the so-called "godly and spiritual" men who knew them. Their reputations were destroyed by their contemporaries.
