I have read Brethren history, and I think John Darby is a better example of what Lee became. Darby, of course, was a genuine brother in Christ seeking to know and serve the Lord, but eventually many felt he had become a far worse "pope" than the one he constantly condemned in Rome.

I understand your points however, Lisbon, but most former or current LC'ers would dismiss your comparisons because it is doubtful that many of the Popes or Joseph Smith were even saved.

May you and all have a Blessed New Year in Christ Jesus!
