I remember a close friend in the 70's was working at the LW and using his credit card to live on. He went on to live at Shiloh and assisted M. When I caught up with him at Shiloh his credit card debt was $25,000.

That's right. There are/were those who had a hunger and thirst for the Lord, but no one, nada, zip is/was ever qualified to have a leadership position over another human being. According to NT scripture, Church leadership over administrating church type business should not include leadership over the private and personal lives.

I appreciate you saying that. When I read the posts on Factnet a few years ago I was struck by one of the posters whose family was cast out of TLWF and they refused to be bitter and I thought to myself I want that although getting there can take some time.
PS: I guess I am chatty Kathy tonight. Must be the eggnog.
