Lee is not their Christ. He is simply, in his own words, the "oracle of God" to whom has been bestowed the authority and word of God to speak to every single Christian on earth and those who don't submit to this "headship" are rebelling against God's "deputy authority on earth."
So for such a man's final word to be printed and framed in multiple localities and for that word to be "sacrifice" is just par for the course in the Local Churches. Considering everything that is taught in The Lord's Recovery and all the traditions and religious practices they hold to, I would say that this in and of itself would not cause further abuse but is simply another symptom of deeper issues within that denomination/sect.

Could we say that this alleged "last word of Lee" business is representative of blatant idol worship...idolatry?
