What Phillip Lee did for his father Witness Lee was to fulfill his ambition as a minister and as a business man.
Was Lee truly Nee's successor? That's LSM revisionist history to me.

LSM has their revised history as there is a succession from Nee to Lee as if Nee was a type of Elijah and Lee was a type of Elisha.
All too dismissing all the other ones mentored by Watchman Nee who were colleagues/peers of Witness Lee. Stephen Kaung eventually relocated to United States. What about Faithful Luke, Simon Meek. etc?
I believe there is truth to Watchman Nee sending the brothers out of mainland China as the Communists were winning the civil war.
We know WItness Lee was sent to Taiwan.
Who was sent to Hong Kong?
Who was sent to Singapore?
Who was sent to the Philippines?
I believe all this happened. It could be that some of these brothers were open to T.A. Sparks fellowship which eventually became a trouble for Witness Lee.
I believe Witness Lee could not work with these brothers. It was either his way or the highway.
I believe Witness Lee was one of many co-workers who labored with Watchman Nee. Not quite as significant as Living Stream purports him to be.
