Bible as the Absolute Authority

But as time went on, all non LSM material disappeared and all speaking became WL/LSM. Eventually, what was profitable for teaching was only LSM. People were sized up, pierced and divided by what WL spoke.

Yes, I had some of that experience too --> very telling, isn't it!?
