Par for the course here, I'm afraid.

How we use em is to us so .... To you ! To me ! Best of friends we shall be but if anything happens ... Here's to me ! Just being a bit funny there with the old cheers! But ya suck were loosing great things but I see it as new time to grow new things ... Some with their help! Be well and be strong and courageous , bro I know you are ! In my heart Manu!

Our business should now be to find the best path forward for the Temple as a whole and focus on tasks that need to be completed in order to maintain continuity. Let's step up and offer to help where we can rather than complaining about the past or questioning other's motives.
Please remember that not everyone here is familiar with all of the inner workings or past politics and decisions here. New members come here with a sense of hope and a desire to learn. Let's not squash that with negativity. Instead, let's serve them as we were served by others when we first arrived.

Your poetic writing style collides with my language barriers.
I respect, and acknowledge the positivity of your posts. But I am looking for an expanded answer, my friend.

It would not be right for any of us to demand answers other than what has already been presented by those involved in their own words. If you are curious, PM those individuals and perhaps they will elaborate. Or they won't. That is their choice, and we need to respect that.

So the TL;DR answer to my question is: NO.

Transparency is not a bad thing in a church that risks appearing as a cult to new members. It is at least a recommendation to keep in mind. Trust people (regardless of rank) with issues and they will positively surprise you.
It's called empowerment.
