I had first read it while in college. At the time I was rarely meeting. How many have read or heard about it? In later years I resumed meeting on a regular basis for about seven years. My experience had been whatever LSM releases is accurate and whatever is released contradicting LSM is rumor.
Consider even if some of the events in Reconsideration of the Vision is true, there are brothers and sisters meeting in the local churches that will continue to meet because in their mind it's through LSM where the Lord's Present move on the earth is.
As for others such as myself, there's the belief LSM needs to suppress reports (accurate or not) for image, for preventing the next storm, whatever the case is may be.
