BTW, the prior comment was not to cast any aspersions toward Larry. I didn't know him, but I've heard from many others that he was a decent man, with a genuine concern for people in the fellowship. That said, I think the black/white marriage at the top of the authority chain would have been a major issue in TLWF at that time--leading, I think, the many more leaving than actually did. Hell, if it did happen, it would be one more intriguing tidbit into the narrative of this cult...but I can't see it. There will have to be something more substantive than a rumor to change my mind.
