I am very grateful to the Lord for giving me the necessary discernment to be able to see beyond and see things clearly as far as I have been able to see regarding this Christian group.

JorgeP - Congratulations on your excellent escape from a very badly behaving religious dictatorship! Your description nailed it quite well.
Depending upon the depth of your research, it's easy to overlook the true root source of this group's pride - the extremely flawed characters of both Watchman Nee & Witness Lee.
Turns out that they were like two peas in the same pod of duplicity, deceit and tyranny.
To learn about the carefully hidden misdeeds of Watchman Nee, the 2013 book by Lily Hsu -
My Unforgettable Memories: Watchman Nee and Shanghai Local Church could prove invaluable.
A bootleg electronic version of that book has been circulating elsewhere on other forums, however MUCH of the book's damning content was left out of that copy. I highly recommend buying the Kindle or Print version so you can get the full picture.
Link to it on Amazon
here.
To understand more about the "behind the scenes" corrupt behavior of Witness Lee specifically, I would recommend you read John Ingalls book - Speaking The Truth In Love (1990). Long out of print, it's "
re-typed by hand" content is available elsewhere on this forum,
however a very rough Spanish translation of it is in the works at
this link.
Then there is also my own personal endeavor to offer that book in electronic (and audio) format
here. If you would be willing to help improve the
Spanish version of John Ingalls' book please pm me.
Wishing you the best in your journey...
P.S.
