Matt, Jane,

I need to exit this topic. Nothing personal. I've made my case against the claim of evil spirits influencing the recovery from the outset so no need to continue repeating them. I went back on the other board and found a sequence pretty much the same as this one here.

You both have a different view of Lee and the recovery than I do. I acknowledge faults but nothing on the order of some of what you think was there. In fact, I still find Lee's ministry very rich. I don't condone present activities of the BB, but even here I see nothing darker than men who have chosen to institutionalize and protect their own turf.

Matt, I will grant you that the verse in Timothy which mentions the "doctrine of demons" allows for the possibility of a certain subtlety. So a point for you here.

I have reacted to the terms "cult," "idolatry," "evil spirits" and the like because I believe they are loaded terms that do little to clarify.

So I'm exiting this one.
