Not long after John Ingalls split from Lee, he visited some of us in a private home the Dallas area. During a break in the action, I reminded him of a message he gave in the "early days" in Dallas in which he said something like "even if 'Bro. Lee' would forsake 'this way', I will never...". John replied "
I DID???" with his eyes really big.
We all laughed at him, remembering this classic John Ingalls expression! He was indeed true to his word...he was following the Lord and not Lee.
Although, based on Austin Sparks' Chapter 9, it seems that Lee was compromised from at least back in the '50's in Taipei. Rather than changing, Lee seems to have hidden his nature and revealed his "true ministry" strategically maybe after Nee's death. Norms of the Chinese culture may have influenced Lee's allegiance to Nee.
