This serves as a good example of the unfair, one-sided, and narrow approach to interpreting the Bible within the LC. In my opinion, relying solely on the meaning of a name of Nicolaitans appears insufficient.
Sadly, Witness Lee frequently disregarded teachings that challenged his views while readily accepting those that supported his own agenda.
Personally, I had not encountered alternative interpretations concerning the Nicolaitans, until I looked up this matter myself after leaving the LC. This alternative interpretation seems more credible, as it factors historical evidence overlooked by W. Lee.
