Another that recently surfaced: a Google search with "Witness Lee center meaning universe" came back with several different answers:
The human person. Remember the LC song, Hymn #1293 - "Oh, I'm a man - I'm the center and the meaning of the universe!"?

And

But wait... there's more! How about, The human spirit!?
The throne of God?
The tree of life?
Or, the cross?
Five separate items, each at one point deemed the center of the universe by MOTA. There are probably more - this was the first couple of pages of results. The question is, how can a supposed bible teacher keep changing things in front of so many, and so often, and nobody raises a hand to say, "Uhh, excuse us Herr Guru, but this is not what was taught last year"? What's most amazing isn't how WL changed things so radically, that "early Lee" and "later Lee" were now at odds, but that he was never called on it.
So I'd like to take this opportunity to ask "ShepherdingWords.com" to go through WL references to the 'center of the universe' and reconcile them. It's pretty confusing to the casual reader.
We've even seen LSM's apologetics-cum-promotion web sites do this. One's called "A godman dot com" and various pages say contradictory things. One page says that the throne of God is the center of the universe.

"The throne of God is the center of the universe, and it is where the Lord is."
And then
the same web site has another page that says something else, quite entirely - why, no - it's the cross! Silly us, what
were we thinking back there!?
