I suppose that may be a valid issue with many, but I am not interested. Brother Lee was a good bible teacher, but not a very good leader. Continuously beating up on him for whatever errors there were in his life and ministry holds no interest for me. I've got plenty of errors in my own life. Without the blood of Christ to cleanse me, I would never dare to show my face in any christian circle.

This is such a typical response within the LC. Willingly ignoring the practical truth of essential matters that are in error.
The Lord said in
Matt 7:15-20 that the way to discern the false prophet is by evaluating the fruit (not the teaching!). "By their
FRUIT you will know them."
Before and during my 10 years in the LC I struggled with these verses - because inwardly I was of the persuasion that the right doctrine EQUALS right standing with God.
Only after I had assimilated the high doctrine in the Lord's Recovery for a decade I finally came to understand why FRUIT and not TEACHING is the unique qualifier of God's work.
THIS is why the Lord WARNED against the leaven of the scribes and the pharisees in Matt 6:6-12. What is the leaven of the scribes and the pharisees - it is their teaching! The teaching of the scribes and pharisees were exposed by Jesus to be FULL OF HYPOCRISY (Matt 23).
There you have it. W Lee might have been a "good Bible teacher." But we don't know the true teacher by his teachings, but by his FRUIT.
Recently I took the time to listen to some messages spoken in the Dec 2023 semi-annual training. The words are high and the teaching is scriptural - but it is FULL of emptiness. Hypocrisy.
