Joseph Fung is now with the Lord. I have never known much from Joseph's point of view. Following are quotes Witness Lee brought out attributed to Joseph Fung

"The Lord has spoken to us...We no longer depend on one giant, but on the Body."
"It is grossly wrong to read only the Life-Study Messages without reading the Bible. This will bring the church into error."
"are uplifting a man and creating a pope"
"the Living Stream Ministry constantly tries to take over the Hong Kong Church Bookroom"
"every time a gimmick comes along, everyone has to follow. Otherwise, a very strong pressure is there"
"those around Brother Lee are but busybodies and cheerers. Everything they do has no result."
"we do not exalt any man"
"we do follow the ministry, but do not do so blindly; rather, we filter it."Page 11 The Fermentation of the Present Rebellion

"we should all be free to follow the Sprit." Page 12 The Fermentation of the Present Rebellion

"messages on the truth and life are good but practices are not" Page 19 The Fermentation of the Present Rebellion

Witness Lee did have an issue with Joseph Fung's using RcV New Testament English text for his own book.

"Meanwhile, during this period he put together an interlinear of the New Testament with the English text from the Living Stream Ministry's Recovery Version, and he sent a number of copies of this interlinear to the Gospel Bookroom in Taipei for them to sell. He published this interlinear without ever saying a word to me or asking for my permission to use the text of the Recovery Version." Page 12 The Fermentation of the Present Rebellion

There was also a letter Witness Lee sent to the Hong Kong elders with two sets of 10 points. Some of which are already covered in this post.

This publishing incident is a legitimate complaint. That is plagiarism. The other quotes attributed to Joseph Fung, what's the problem with what Joseph said?
