Hate to burst your bubble Jay but in a genuine Biblical Church community, nobody's personal life is their own business when abuse of another is taking place - mine included. And the so-called "anti-gossip" verse you quoted above has absolutely nothing to do with exposing someone's private personal matters - please read it again, but in context.
Watchman Nee and Witness Lee would have us to believe otherwise though, and the rotten fruit of decades of leaders (or overbearing men in general) getting by with living a double life (under "
the covering") is starting to ooze out at the corners of certain Ministry Churches; so much so that Civil Authorities have been forced to get involved.
A recent court case in Oklahoma directly involved the eldership of a Ministry Church there which I am pretty sure proves my point. I have emphasized certain sections in red to help us all see the Nee/Lee rotten fruit which was laid out plainly before the so-called heathen there in the "Bible Belt".
