Typical and clearly demonstrates the spiritual immaturity of the LC system leadership that persists to this day. And if at all true proves how superficial and fragile their "fellowship" really is.
Fellowship you say? That is what I call groupthink because when saints such as James isn't lining up with the groupthink apparatus, he's out of "fellowship". If there was true fellowship, there would be mutual communication to discuss the negatives in addition to the positives in an objective manner by speaking the truth in love.
Problem is those in the lead are often too subjective and as a result closed to any potential fellowship in mutuality. "Being one with the brothers" appears to carry more weight than scripture.
I think we all (those who meet in the local churches and those who used
to) know the modus operandi. Brothers in the lead will go on the offensive to make certain claims (with or without basis). Just as soon as you call them out on it, nothing but silence. Not a word. To get the brothers to respond on any matter, you would need legal cause to do so.
