What became apparent later on was that many people were just along for the ride. They already knew better than to go along with some of the extremes, but they also knew better than to vocalize that.

And I suppose that's because we bought into the idea that the LC was it, the one true move, so we didn't think it appropriate to speak up even if we had an inkling to do so. In my case, I knew the Lord initially brought me there, that is, the LC in Berkeley back in 74. But He also kept me from becoming too involved and for too long. It's only been recently that I've been getting clearer as to why and how that path lead me to where I am today.
