The result as always is no accountability.
As I understand the protocol from time of the lawsuit would be an elder or deacon giving an announcement for saints to give specifically to the lawsuit. What is not known and can be considered hearsay is elders would pledge how much their locality can give towards the lawsuit.

Lee and now the BBs believe that sheep need to be fleeced from time to time. In fact many Christian leaders believe that. Christians can be so gullible. They only go bleep, and go beep beep, while getting fleeced.

I believe that LSM DCP simply levied a "taxation" upon each member LC loosely based on membership of the phone list.

I rember several "discussions" i had with one particular elder of mine. He always tended to inflate church attendance as a kind of self promotion. I, however, would tend to discount church attendance, knowing the consequences of "taxation without representation."
