"Patience to cover" strikes in my as a kind of what we know today as cultural tolerance.
We know "church discipline" only occurs not because of sin, but because "the ministry" was offended.
I take Witness Lee said "Which father over 80 should be held responsible for the behavior of their children? Even so, I did my best."?
In the workplace employees are held accountable for their conduct.
It seems Witness Lee is saying he cannot hold his employees accountable for their conduct.
