This is why I believe John and Ken went to meet with Benson and Ray. The LSM office was in Anaheim, but Phillip didn't meet with the Church in Anaheim. When someone who doesn't meet in your assembly, how can you excommunicate them?
So it was really an LSM matter. In my opinion Benson and Ray already knew about Phillip's history and didn't want to be involved. To touch Phillip would mean to touch his father and that would hinder their ambitions. So they only recourse was to say it's a local matter.
