Thank you for putting out that Youtube channel. He clearly articulates why this Bible sect is so dangerous. He does the smart thing and doesn't debate them upfront on theological matters, but targets the true weak spot of groups like this, psychology and ideology. Nevertheless, they are vastly incorrect about many theological matters.

Here are some nasty tactics used by the group:

1. Love-Bombing: On college campuses, they lavish students with attention, making them feel uniquely special, loved, and "called out" by God to perform a "special work." They are encouraged to preach the "high gospel" and live according to the "high truths."

2. Gradual Indoctrination: They slowly introduce ideas in a way that manipulates cognitive dissonance, gradually shifting attitudes toward their unorthodox or bizarre Christian teachings until these ideas seem acceptable or even desirable.

3. Chanting: Through chanting the Lord's name, they create a euphoric state that leaves members psychologically vulnerable. In this state, authoritarian teachings—such as the notion of the "minister of the age," "spiritual authority," and the uniquely divine flowing life of Witness Lee's teachings—are implanted and solidified in their minds. This effectively dulls critical thinking and reinforces group loyalty, following the manipulative "unfreeze, change, freeze" tactic used by many controlling individuals and organizations.


Of course, all of the above is my opinion. Please don't sue me LSM, like you have done many others.
