Yes, they had opportunity to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.
Late 1990's following Witness Lee's passing, the brothers deified Witness Lee. He was perfected. "Mistakes other men would make, Brother Lee wouldn't make." That's paraphrasing one brother I knew.
I could understand why the co-workers have done what they do. Witness Lee's ministry is their employment. It would not be prudent for them to begin scrutinizing where Witness Lee was off compared to scripture. That's why Witness Lee's ministry is considered on par with scripture by those meeting with the Local Churches.
