Because of what I know of you... I believe you. At the same time, I believe you know that the system of leadership that was developed in the LC was constructed to get your commitment to something more. If you remained pure in your heart, then you were safe. However, few have this kind purity in the face of a system like what was constructed in the LC.

If you go into the LC in your locality, I believe you know that you are not free to speak according to your conscience.

Exactly! Because of what you know of Terry, you believe that he was not a participant in idolatry. Am I understanding you correctly?

So many of us, Matt, know so many more like Terry.
