[UntoHim]

As a related aside, here are a couple of excerpts from an entry about Watchman Nee in the Biographical Dictionary of Chinese Christianity (BDCC) Of special note, Nee's expulsion in the 1940s was apparently not the first time he was excommunicated for sexual immorality, it seems that a relative of his new wife publicly exposed his womanizing and galivanting back in 1934. Malicious rumor? Could be, but why did Nee "step down as leader of the movement"?

When he married “Charity” in 1934, an aunt of Charity’s who opposed the match published an “expose” in the media about his alleged romantic involvement with other women, which damaged his reputation, so he stepped down as leader of the movement, handing it over to elders whom he had previously appointed. He resumed his position the next year.

Then later in 1943:

Ni was expelled from leadership for several reasons: His increasing, and finally full-time, work with his brother’s pharmaceutical company; multiple instances of shady business practices; and the exposure of ongoing sexual immorality with female co-workers and other women, including prostitutes.
