If the reports by Lily Hsu about Watchman Nee are true, it raises an interesting question: did Witness Lee inherit this "curse" by insisting on carrying Nee’s mantle? If so, it seems plausible that the same principle could apply to the next generation of blended brothers who now idolize Lee and perpetuate his legacy.
From my observation, many in the LC still idolize Witness Lee and his teachings. This is why I’ve focused on exposing him-- to address the root of the issue. Perhaps even if leaders like Ron Kangas or Minoru were exposed, the movement would likely continue as long as Lee’s teachings remain the foundation.
Only the Lord truly knows, but if I were to guess, Witness Lee’s greatest failing even above what has been discussed here may have been elevating himself and his teachings to a position of idolatry, drawing disciples away from Christ onto himself.
Acts 20:29-30
"I know that after my departure
fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things,
to draw away the disciples after them."
