RE: Open Letter - Dear Saints in the Lord's Recovery - Joann Casteel

I know it doesn't address any of the biblical issues that some on this forum are turned off by but it does address the accusations of abuse, etc. Maybe that would be the next layer? If individuals such as these were those in charge maybe there's hope. It seems to be a more rational stance. That being said, I don't see the "Old Guard" stepping down and making room for these more balanced people. If they would maybe things would actually improve? Maybe they could land on a path that isn't whatever they are now. But... maybe that is just wishful thinking by someone who still has family in.

I think I've read the post you referred to.
"If individuals such as these were those in charge maybe there's hope. It seems to be a more rational stance. " Agree.
Also, at the end of reading that post, I smiled. Phew! There's hope that not everyone trained by LSM turns into a Chichi Woo. (Chichi Woo commented on Jo's fb acting like a LSM robot).
