AND WE DON'T DISAGREE on Goss and Morgan ... my point is that Ethel wrote here book on the cusp of this ... hence it's fair to infer that her view in the book is swayed by what happened post 1951. I also would have to believe that as his wife ... she was taking a dig at those who began to marginalize Goss. Nor do I think its a stretch that privately Goss agreed w/ her.

He may or may not have. I do know when preaching at the Harvey Camp he rebuked a young preacher for wearing a colored(blue) shirt? I know the preacher well. However he is no longer young.

Goss' testimony speaks more to this w/ his lifetime work, views on open fellowship and his beliefs that other Christians were saved ...

if I have to choose between who represents his views best... His wife or some guy's recollection of what happened or was commented at a camp w/o knowing the context ... I'll side w/ the man's wife.
