Default Don Hardy letter

Found this link on the Casteel FB page. It’s a recent letter by Don Hardy. Have not seen it before but perhaps it already appears somewhere else on this forum.
If it exists please excuse the redundancy

How can Steve I. read this letter and still try to have fellowship with Minoru (other post)? The Lord is clearly outside of this entire mess, knocking, asking for any remaining to come out to Him.

The letter is hard to read, ....the ideas are kind of choppy in some areas. Can someone give a bullet point summary or something of the main points/contents?

thx

I thought the last line about, "The above letter was polished, revised & made into a .pdf by P.S." was a little humorous.

The Hardy letter created more questions than answers, for starters . . .
  • What did his future MIL find out from the missionaries in Taiwan?
  • What did Philip use to blackmail his dad?
  • How did the brother die during the Daystar mess?
  • What did Sherry Hardy learn from the Lee family that is pertinent to our discussion?
  • Why did WL refer to Philip and Minoru Chen as evil brothers, yet did nothing about it, leaving them in charge?
  • Was that not WL once again blaming others for his own failures?
  • Why is it amazing what WL prayed from God's word, if he felt that he alone spoke for God in this age?
Several paragraphs make little sense, eg the last ones about authority.

No. The only way to explain it all is to read the 13 MS Word pages of emails from bro. Don, that he doesn't want released because of all the dirt they reveal and concerns about slander and libel.

Libel and slander are a concern only if the “dirt” is false. If it’s true, it’s not libel or slander.

LSM has deep pockets and a demonstrated willingness to litigate. I'm assuming even if he knows the allegations are true, he might not want to get involved in a costly court thing.

True, but court proceedings will still break your bank. A infamous tactic of LSM.

He also says that the footnotes concerning Acts 1:17-20 and 25 clearly reveal something twisted in WL's mind concerning who he was.

Also, as a testimony this should be given a lot of weight. He was literally a "family member" raising TL's baby for a year and having all the Lee's in his house during that time.
