It's funny, I probably know Drake, Ohio and several other members here.

I was born into the LC in Chicago in the '70s.

I remember the whole TC thing, but was never told the details. I just knew that we no longer met with the Cleveland saints. I heard stories of localities choosing sides and meeting halls being sold.

When I was young the names John Ingalls & Max Rappaport (sp) were whispered in small one on one settings, but then followed up with the words storm and ambition. No details were discussed in my presence.


I remember the whole "Defense & Confirmation" legal action, but didn't bother to ask questions. I just knew that "they were wrong" and "God was on our side's legal team."

I didn't really think for myself until the end. It was the Lord's mercy that He opened my eyes and brought me out of TLR.

I have actually learned the true cult nature of TLR via this message board and I'm so grateful! I want this message board to be a healing tool for those who dare to seek the truth and have the courage to leave TLR.

May our awesome Lord and Savior bless this forum!

Did you know that the Anaheim Blendeds were not willing to risk excommunicating TC and the GLA until your leaders in Chicago were on board? As the story goes, TC offended BB publicly over a local matter in Chicago which was really none of his business. As was his custom, TC just created another enemy.

"Courageous" JRsr, who publicly proclaimed that "Christians have died for the right to write," saw BB turn on TC, and then he also flip-flopped, after LSM assured him that he could keep writing his pamphlets. Then about ten FT families left Chicago for TC-friendly regions.

Even up to that point, there was politics in the recovery between Anaheim and Great lakes area. NM made it very clear in his posts on thebereans.net forum.
