He was holding his own 9-month training (doing the same thing as the BB in the FFTA), so there was no reason why he should make fun of FTTA, unless he wanted to elevate his own work above the BB.

Anyways, I was not not impressed with either sides during the storm. Both sides and their supporters did some really nasty things to each other. At that time I knew nothing of John Ingalls's story (and others' such as John So, etc...), so I was very much on the BB side. Still, even knowing what I know today, I'm not sure if I would chose Titus over the BB. Titus has abused his authority just as much as WL and the BB.

I guess I ended up choosing neither sides. I just moved away to a locality outside of the midwest, not affected by the chaos. I'm glad I moved away. Who knows? If I didn't move away, maybe I would have fought on LSM's side and said some nasty things to the other side...and I would have regretted today. Today, I still have very good friends on both sides. If I had participated in the fight, I might have lost some of these precious friends on Titus's side.

We're pretty much in agreement here, Truth.

Though I was exiting the program at the time of the Quarantine, I too was fairly convinced that neither side should have been supported. It was a "fist-fight" between 2 ministries, and no churches should have been dragged into it. Both sides felt they were only "standing for the truth," when actually both were again declaring "we are of men." Neither side presented an attractive alternative. Many brothers in the Great Lakes area felt Titus Chu was closer to the truths of the scripture in some regards, yet rejected him because of his over-bearing abuses of leadership.

On the positive side, many brothers were helped to be delivered from the entanglements of the Blendeds, yet once they became free, they realized that Cleveland was the same as Anaheim, and both were damaging their LC's.
