You DO realize that in order to become a trusted leader in the LC, any sense of right and wrong must be destroyed? Listen here to Ron Kangas reminding leaders of that requirement for LC eldership.

Since that is the case - and "The Ministry" is filled through & through with calls to exterminate any thoughts of judging according to right or wrong - why would we expect LC leaders to care about people? They did not lose their sense of right and wrong, they were told to destroy it - By both Nee and Lee...

P.S.

WOW P.S.!!
Back in the day, early 70s, the mantra was “it’s not about right or wrong. It’s about LIFE”. Shame on the LC leadership!!!

I'm sure most elders are fathers to their sons and daughters?
I'm sure these LC elders were not so irresponsible as fathers they did not lose sense of right and wrong in teaching their own children?
It's just in regard to Lee's ministry, we're not going to make an issue of matters, things, or persons. Essentially looking the other way in regard to right and wrong.

1 Timothy 3:1-5
The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer1 must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God’s church?
