Reflecting on John Ingalls' Actions

I believe that these Points posted by the Anaheim elders were more dangerous to WL/LSM than the Philip Lee alleged rape allegations. John Ingalls by this time knew that these points basically were his "Recovery" suicide, yet he stood fast on his convictions. Had this been the Dark Ages, he would have been burned at the stake like William Tyndale or John Huss.

Yes, it's true that Witness Lee often told others "If I deviate from God's economy, do not follow me!".

However, as WL was speaking those seemingly commendable words, what he may have been also saying under his breath was "If I deviate from God's economy, don't you dare to expose my deviation! Just leave quietly"

This possible "double-think" may explain why WL could in Pasadena make this grand 'virtue-signalling' statement, recorded for us in STTIL:

"Near the end of his word he proclaimed, I don’t care for the loss of any church. Even if the entire U. S. A. is closed to me I don’t care. I only care for ten to twenty faithful ones meeting together to practice the truth."

And then part of the above quote might be further translated as:
I only care for ten to twenty faithful ones meeting together who exalt me!
