I WANT to give LS the benefit of the doubt here, which is unlike what others want to do. I do not believe LS is trying to overtly encourage any practice outside of biblical instruction. I am trying to prove him innocent, you guys are trying to prove him guilty, thus the fundamental difference in perception and perspective.
One time Prax, one time that I have observed, in the Memphis clip from two years ago, has he made reference to "occult"... I do not believe his intention is "hoodoo voodoo"... As I stated many times, I believe his reference of that was to draw the contrast between what the witches feel they have (i.e. power in their hair), and what we have (i.e. the "Word of God", and "more power than anything else in the world"... his own words). You are not giving LS the benefit of the doubt, and are bent on proving him guilty. I, on the other hand, am doing what I can, with as much reasoning and benefit of the doubt that I can offer, to prove him innocent.

How am I not giving him the benefit of the doubt? I admitted that if he did change his message, like you said, he NEEDS to get up everywhere he goes and denounce that previous message.
if the only time he preached this was in Mephis, we still have an issue of a lot of others hearing.
Further if his intent was never to teach that women can let down their hair to release the power or the angels, he needs to denounce that.
As I said before
the ISSUE is 3 fold
What LS teaches
The Methods he used
The actions of those that heard him
We have here on this board entered into evidece what he teaches, his methods AND quotes from people that heard his teaching and his method and what the results are.
If he realizes that method was wrong and the results are wrong, he needs to address that and let them know that was never his intention
I've given LS the benefit of the doubt for years. Addressing the message as I have is not saying LS is bad or evil, is not akin to not giving someone the benefit of the doubt.
