So knock it off.

The eye-witness account is that you heard a testimony. Now either that "SoCal brother" incident happened or it did not. Of course it did. Understand?

Now it was for those very kind of behaviors that Max was relieved of duties. It's simple. The complaints started flowing in . Your elaborate conspiracy theories are fanciful. It had nothing to do with PL. You are a decade off if you think that. Sorry friend, everything does not fit nicely into your "bad bad WL theory of everything".

You are over-complicating and contradicting yourself in the process. I won't give you the rope to hang yourself. I care for you too much.

Let the reader decide. No further explanation is required.

Amen! Let the reader decide!

What words did I put in your mouth? You tried to twist my post about a ridiculous testimony into an eyewitness account that exonerated Lee.

I caught you playing games with me, and you tell me to "knock it off" and get a rope and hang myself.

Thankful Jane gave an account of her sit down conversation with the Rapoports to support what I have posted. You obviously are unaccustomed to actual facts, so now you say my fanciful accounts are elaborate conspiracy theories.

Go back and read. Get your facts straight. Oh that's right you have no facts. You only have what Lee told you.

During this recent exchange with Cassidy, his underlying premise has been that Max came to the GLA and caused trouble, and so WL deservedly removed him from leadership. For a quarter century I also believed this version of events, that Max was a loose cannon which had to be reeled in. That's what we all saw on the surface. We never knew what happened behind the scenes in Anaheim. That information was withheld from us.

But who gave Max the authority and the direction to do what he did during those chaotic times? When all was said and done, Lee basically washed his hands as though he knew nothing at all. All this time he was merely sitting at home reading his Bible.

When Pilate spoke to the Lord, he brought up the matter of authority. Jesus let him know that his authority was given to him from above. When Max came to the GLA with his burden to pry the young people away from the LC's, the only reason he was even allowed to come was that his authority came from Lee. He knew it, we knew it, and Lee knew it.

When Lee decided to abandon Max for reasons related to Philip Lee, and he disowned any involvement with Max's travels, in the eyes of the whole recovery Max bore complete responsibility for everything. But what did the Lord tell Pilate, "he who delivered Me had the greater sin." The Jewish leaders thought they were absolved from all responsibility since Pilate crucified Jesus, but God sees things differently.
