No, Witness Lee taught that we receive all that we are supposed to receive of God, but only in our human spirit. The human spirit becomes a "beach head," according to Lee. From there God spreads out into our soul - thus, the salvation of our souls.
The problem isn't so much with that teaching in essence, but rather Lee's concept of how that is done. As has been stated, he placed much emphasis on complying with all the prescribed mechanics of the Living Stream "church-life," in order for the Lord to accomplish this. So don't worry about anything else, just jump into the "enjoyment." God will be "dispensed" into your being. Get our of your mind and into your spirit. Don't ask questions, the question mark looks like a serpent.
So, the result of all that is that you have a group of gray haired old brothers who in many aspects are in a state of arrested development. You want to know how to maximize your "enjoyment" by engaging in all the the exercises prescribed by the "Apostle for the age?" They can teach you volumes. You want to know how to treat your brother next to you who has come to the conclusion that he can no longer obey the teachings of the Blended Brothers, hook, line and sinker? It's like asking a kindergarten student to explain Einstein's theory of relativity to you. Not a clue.
Witness Lee had to make it this way. If not, the current population of his movement would be a mere fraction of what it is.
