John So's comments basically went "virule" (even before Al Gore invented the internet!) via the recovery grapevine, and Phillip Lee and Company immediately blackballed him for being negative to WL and the "New Way."

This is the sad legacy of the LC, anyone who criticizes their "cookie cutter" approach to everything gets ostracized. It is common for people to cringe when they see Mormons or JW's going through the neigborhood. Even the same is true for door-to-door salesman. So it seems bizarre that in spite of the strong aversion in the US of people coming to your door, that Lee would push door-knocking as the best way.
