EdenOne - "I'm still hoping for a reform that will wash away the old oligarchy and their praetorian guard ... one that will bring an acknowlegement of past mistakes, corrects whacky doctrines, softens the stance on shunning, and humbly apologizes and begs for forgiveness before God and Christ. It's a lot to ask, I know ... perhaps too much to ask, by now."
While we are dreaming, why don't we have them make a humble announcement at the bethel morning worship that they have been caught up in a religious Ponzi scheme and that they admit they have no communication channel with God, are not lead by Holy Spirit, that everything that an apostate has said is true, and they have been making everything up since the beginning. Then, everyone is dismissed to go home.
